Come and explore the different eras of furniture, fashion, decor, collectibles and more at the Kokomo Antique Mall, a space dedicated to everything antique, artisan and unique. Located in a stunning 114-year-old building in the heart of Kokomo’s historic downtown district, the mall is filled with character and special finds throughout.
For a long time, antique malls and stores have somewhat ignored technology and the newer generations of what is now considered vintage.
Kokomo Antique Mall welcomes all of that into their store — they encourage the younger generations who are becoming interested in antique glass and furniture to also discover “newer” vintage pieces from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. Anyone who likes to give a new life to older and previously loved items is welcome at the mall — as well as those who create and imagine new possibilities with unique visions.
The items you’ll find at the Kokomo Antique Mall not only belong to owner Amber Jordan and her husband, Todd, but to more than 70 vendors who source their pieces in various ways. For many serious antique lovers, it’s the thrill of the hunt and the possibility of unique and rare finds that make the antique industry truly exciting.
“We are not necessarily your grandma’s antique mall. For us, an antique mall is a concept,” Amber Jordan says. “It is a place that holds many eras of history … from the last 25 years to more than 100 years. We want to encompass every time period.”
Jordan and her husband both grew up in Kokomo and decided to stay where they were raised to grow their only family. The couple have always admired the downtown area and love the historic buildings that come with it.
“There have been so many improvements to the city, even just since I was a kid,” she says. “Downtown has always had a special feel to it. The beauty of the historic buildings is just something we can’t get over. So many things have happened in these buildings … they have housed so many great family businesses and organizations, just like ours.”
Kokomo Antique Mall is the second business the couple have brought to the downtown area — they also own Kokomo Toys, a vintage toy store. With the success of the store, the husband and wife team left their prior careers at GM to create something new out of another passion they’ve always had — antiquing and thrifting. The Greater Kokomo Downtown Association is also making it easier than ever for businesses and residents to play an active role in shaping the future of downtown Kokomo. Through a new community engagement platform, residents can share ideas, recognize positive contributions and help keep downtown vibrant and welcoming.
“We all truly want to make some place great where people can come in and enjoy all the finds in the shop,” she says. “It is so fulfilling when you get to see some joy on people’s faces as they find something special to them that they will place in their home and maybe one day pass down to their family.”
Kokomo Antique Mall balances thoughtful curation with nostalgic charm. Whether you’re digging for a vintage find, adding character to your home or simply enjoying a leisurely afternoon stroll through Kokomo’s historic district, this new addition adds a charming stop in downtown Kokomo.
“My family is truly grateful for what we have been able to create in the community. We try to give back where we can, with a small food pantry outside of our toy store as well as always having donations for the We Care telethon and whatever we can to donate to other local organizations that help those in need in the community,” Jordan says. “We have been successful in our endeavors and we will always choose to help Kokomo whenever and however we are able.”
Open Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., the mall invites casual drop-ins as well as devoted antique hunters. You can call 765-450-6731 or visit kokomoantiquemall.com for more information.
