The Brass Armadillo opened in 1992 and was designed as a place where local antique shops, vintage dealers, and shoppers can congregate to socialize and make new friends. Since it's opening 30 years ago, the mall has grown to one of the biggest antique mall chains in the country and now operates locations in Denver, Des Moines, Omaha, and Phoenix in addition to Grain Valley.

You can find just about anything at the Brass Armadillo, from antiques, vintage, and reclaimed furniture, to home goods, paintings, collectibles, clothing, jewelry, and pottery. The mall also features discounts each month including sales and a rewards program.
