Inside the Kenny Centre Mall at 1125 Kenny Centre in Columbus, Ohio, Magpie Market rebuilt what an antique shop can look like when it opened its doors in January 2022. Rather than the dim, cluttered aisles that many shoppers associate with traditional antique stores, the 3,000 square foot shop was built around bright, gallery style displays, an approach the owners describe as moving away from the dusty stereotype toward something that feels current and inviting.
More than 25 local dealers fill the space, each curating booths around a distinct aesthetic, from cottage core and farmhouse to mid century modern, industrial, and boho chic. That multi vendor structure means the shop functions less like one owner’s collection and more like a rotating showcase of different design sensibilities under a single roof, so a single visit can turn up a mid century credenza in one booth and a shelf of hand thrown pottery in the next. Beyond furniture and vintage decor, Magpie Market also carries handmade goods from local artisans, including soy candles, pottery, and jewelry, giving the shop a crossover appeal for shoppers who are not necessarily antique hunters but want locally made home goods and gifts.
One detail that distinguishes Magpie Market from other multi dealer shops is that even its fixtures double as inventory: salvaged doors, repurposed furniture, and other architectural salvage pieces are worked into the shop’s own displays, meaning the shelving and backdrop are, in the shop’s own words, antiques too. That approach turns the entire store into a kind of working showroom for what repurposed vintage material can look like in a modern home, rather than treating display fixtures as purely functional.
Because dealer booths are restocked independently, new items arrive daily, and the shop leans into that constant turnover as part of its identity, encouraging repeat visits rather than a single once and done shopping trip. Regulars who stop in every few weeks describe finding entirely different merchandise from one visit to the next, since no single dealer controls the full sales floor.
Magpie Market is open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm and Sunday from noon to 5pm, making it accessible for both weekday errands and weekend outings in the Kenny Centre area of Columbus, a commercial corridor on the city’s west side near Upper Arlington. Shoppers can reach the store directly at (614) 929-5264 or by email with questions about specific dealer booths or current inventory.
For anyone in central Ohio looking for antiques and vintage finds without the cluttered, dimly lit feel of a traditional mall, Magpie Market offers a bright, frequently refreshed alternative built around more than two dozen independent dealers and a growing lineup of local handmade goods.
Magpie Market is a bright, multi dealer antique and vintage shop in the Kenny Centre area of Columbus, Ohio, where more than 25 local dealers and artisans fill a 3,000 square foot space with furniture, decor, and handmade goods that change daily.
