Discover a large variety of antiques,
hard-to-find collectibles, and unique home decor items at
Brothers Antique Mall. Since 1984, Brothers Antique Mall, the
oldest antique mall in Medina, has featured more than 100
individual dealers in an interesting layout of more than 12,000
square feet. Unlike many antique malls, visitors to Brothers
will experience a unique floor plan that weaves through the
buildings like an old home full of rooms of character rather
than rows and rows of rented cubicles and glass boxes. Each
space is "decorated" and uncluttered. In fact, many
visitors say walking through the mall is a somewhat relaxing
museum experience that affords them the opportunity to touch and
buy. Our tenant dealers have a wonderfully interesting
collection of beautiful wood furniture, collectible dolls,
turn-of-the-century tools and farm equipment, as well as
hard-to-find copies of books and many unique items you wouldn't
expect. Whether you're a local resident or a dealer from out of
town, visit Brothers Antique Mall today. Get a bag of our 10
cent freshly popped pop corn and have fun searching for that
special find.
In 1972, Tom Shelly founded Shelly Shoppe
Upholstery in Wadsworth, Ohio. After doing auto upholstery for
some time, customers would often ask, "Can you recover my
old chair?" Certainly, he obliged. In a short time, he
became known for his residential furniture upholstery throughout
the community. The business grew at a rather fast pace, and in
1973 Tom built a new building on his property to accommodate the
company’s needs. He expanded to include wood furniture
stripping and refinishing to provide a total furniture
restoration service. In 1980, he moved operations to a larger
space in Medina, keeping the Wadsworth location as a storefront.
The Medina location was renamed Sunset Stripping and Upholstery
and again began a period of growth. By this time, the whole
family got involved and an additional staff of seven worked for
the company. The business was doing well, and soon after, in
1984, it was moved again to a larger location within Medina. Tom
found this building to be sufficient until a six thousand square
foot building became available in Montville Township just
outside of town. In 1991, Sunset Strip and Upholstery moved to
its current location at 6132 Wooster Pike, Medina, Ohio, and
hired three more employees to help with the growing business.
Because of excellent customer service and great in-house
craftsmen, Sunset Strip and Upholstery's success has rewarded
Tom with a large repeat-customer base and nine extremely skilled
employees.
The new building already contained a small antique shop named
Brothers Antiques. It consisted of a few locked showcases and
ten dealers. Feeling that this business would compliment his
own, Tom purchased the company, changed the name slightly and
increased its size and profitability. It quickly became an
established, reputable place for With all the new energy,
Brothers Antique Mall grew quickly, and in 1993 the property
owner obliged Tom by doubling the building's size. He
constructed another 6,000 square feet to accommodate both
businesses. Thanks to Tom's diligence, help from Tom Jr, and
some good marketing, Brothers Antique Mall has had extraordinary
growth and now, with the addition of another building next door
(Brothers Annex) in 2004, it boasts more than 100 individual
antique dealers and consignment sales with quality merchandise
that draws treasure seekers from around the country.

We’re excited to say that we grew our
business to include even more dealers and strengthened our
already well respected brand. Our ownership has purchased and
restored another local property now known as Brothers Antiques North.
