I noticed Fran's Fantasies for the simple reason that I live really close to it. I am thrift store junkie, not an antique store junkie but I had to check it out. Let me tell you, there is a definite difference between thrift and antique especially in terms of price. Fran's has a very large inventory but unfortunately everything is crowded in on each other. Seriously, there was merchandise in the restroom. It's impossible to move freely throughout the store. I didn't want to dig through the items for fear of breaking any antiques. There is a good selection of china cabinets and bookcases but there all being used to display other items so checking out the furniture is difficult. In Fran's favor however is that they're willing to negotiate on the prices. If you're looking for a particular item, Fran is willing to help. Most things seemed priced too high to me but maybe that's because I am not an antique shopper. If you don't mind digging, haggling and can leave the kids home (and your purse in the car - there is barely room to move around) then maybe there will be a find for you in Fran's Fantasies.
