UNIQUE, EXCITING SHOPPING EXPERIENCE
Indian River AntiqueMall owners Lisa and Henry Olender have had a lifelong love for the antiques and collectibles.
Lisa Olender had built three successful new start-up Antique Malls for another company, and in April 2014, decided to strike out on her own and provide an exciting shopping experience, with isles that are wide, clean and well lit.

“It was time to create our own unique antique mall featuring a theme and character that would set us apart from all others,” said Henry.
As antique dealers themselves, the Olenders worked at various antique malls while having dealer space, successfully buying and selling antique and vintage merchandise.
“We opened for business on August 18 and since have attracted customers and dealers from not only Melbourne, but from all over the state,” said Lisa.

“Some of our dealers have owned their own shop and others have been in this business for 20-30 years. And, others started as a great hobby because they are attracted to the beauty and quality of vintage and antique items.
“However, the very hobby has expanded for them to a new level of experience of buying, building relationships and making extra money. We take comfort in seeing all age groups, including the 20-30s something beginning to recognize the true meaning of recycling.”
All Indian River Antique Mall dealers benefit from significantly reduced overhead costs and great marketing opportunities, while taking advantage of a full complement of professional retail services.
