Has a ton of stuff I mean a ton. Including some of the best milkshakes in Portland. The only thing I don't like is the prices. It's one of those if you don't like it whatever things though. Still highly recommend going here
Very nice establishment. Variety of antique and new items. There is even an old fashioned milkshake/sandwich counter you can sit at and enjoy your item.

Now, I have been to the Main Street Collectors Mall & Soda Fountain before, and I must say, I cannot find any more great and positive things to say about it. For one thing, there are lots of treasures there (especially ones that those who like nostalgia often recognize, like Barbie, the Disney stuff and Hot Wheels), and that means something for everyone, too.
Also, I couldn’t help smiling when I saw the Pokémon trading cards (since Pokémon is one of my interests, after all).
Then, there’s the soda fountain; it’s really neat, and it reminds me of the 1950s, which was back when the hamburgers cost something along the lines of 23 cents, and also when the girls wore poodle skirts, bobby socks and saddle shoes too.
And speaking of the soda fountain, I tried the Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream, and it was delicious (or “c’est magnifique,” as they say in French). Plus, I smiled in delight when I saw the placard in front of one spot at the soda fountain, which said: “The stool that is in front of this sign was once sat in by John F. Kennedy. It was before he was President. He was also on a visit to the area, and stopped by the fountain.”
I did my best to imagine what that would’ve like been back then: John stepping over the threshold of the Perry Pharmacy (as the Main Street Collectors Mall & Soda Fountain was called back then), sitting down on one of the stools and ordering a Coca-Cola. Awesome! 😊
Anyway, I highly recommend the Main Street Collectors Mall & Soda Fountain to those who like nostalgia and soda fountains, and I give it two thumbs up. Finally, I give it five stars (although ten stars would be even better). 😇

There is no shortage of vintage and thrift stores in the Portland area, but Main Street collectors was a particularly nice one. There's a small soda fountain in the back that serve sandwiches and shakes. We didn't have anything to eat, but will be back to grab some food and check out all of the awesome knick knacks up for sale
Sit in the seat where JFK had once sat and have yourself a shake or sundae.
Lots of vintage and antique toys, housewares, and collectibles in a working soda fountain! Be sure to check out the stool that JFK sat on in 1960
