I feel like the place I visited and the one I’m reading about in the reviews are two completely different places. No acknowledgment whatsoever of our presence by the staff. Just a sad place. Didn’t find much that was interesting and the building itself is in a pretty bad state of disrepair (we visited on a rainy day and had to dodge ceiling leaks and drip buckets throughout). I’m not sure how this place remains open?? Must be surviving off of booth rent alone.

Always a great place to come to find stuff you didnt know you needed. Lots of history, clothes, and art. Highly recommend visiting.

Nice place to go down memory lane

This place is very large! I think our entire party walked out with at least one item they had to have. The staff was so nice and friendly!

A vast variety of items. If your a browser worth the stop.

So much cool stuff! I love the variety!

Walked to find them closedSite indicates opened😡

A lot old old stuff very interesting

One of my favorite stops while visiting Ruidoso. I have found so many treasures while visiting there in the past stops. Items including one of my most favorite fly fishing reels, to my daughters love for vintage clothing items found. My name is Roger Browning and I love spending my time in Ruidoso. I am a Texas rancher and writer and have written many novels to myself over the years. I was discovered recently and my first published novel, The reckoning of Rance, is currently out on amazon for sale. It is a story of a modern day ranching family that has endured the unstable dysfunction that often trails that type of inherited lifestyle. Maybe more than one would admit. Now let me tell you about this store. I walked into the Emporium some years back when my daughter was much younger than now. I stumbled across a vintage typewriter there and we, my daughter and I played with its keys and typed a little note in its testing, then left. Just last fall, we traveled back, just my wife and I and made our way back into the store to look around. We were staying in one of the mountain cabins and I was typing out the sequel to the Rance novel, when my typewriter quit. In the Emporium that day of our revisit, low and behold under a table hidden behind some cloth, was a typewriter. A 1958 olympia, with still original inked ribbon attached. There still as we left it was the note we had typed out years earlier, Kermit the frog....Kermit the frog, and our names. I picked up the typewriter brought it to the front bought it, cleaned it up and finished twenty more pages of the sequel to The Reckoning of Rance, from inside our mountain retreat. The owners of this store so friendly and their dog, a big friendly brute, was their equal in affection. I will never pass this mall when visiting the mountains, it is a wonderful place to see. Thank you both and I cannot wait to see you. Upon our return.

Good selection of furniture and collectibles

Great place to browse, look around.

I absolutely love this place! One of my favorite flea market/thrift stores to shop at!

Variety of used and vintage items from knickknacks to clothes to art to furniture.

Large old warehouse with a huge selection of antiques and collectibles.

Had a good time going thru the emporium. The entrance is very impressive with huge logs and the bar was so interesting. If not interested in bargains, just go for the history of the building. Would loved to have seen pics of it in its hayday. And they also have a good flea market.

Well organized and clean - we enjoyed our visit.

Lots of interesting items

Large quantity of products

This is such a fun spot. The place looks so much better. More organized now. Good job ladies. Lots of neat vintage stuff to buy. I stop in every time Im in Ruidoso.
