WEST CHESTER TWP. —

A new antique mall is set to open in a shopping mall along one of Butler County’s busiest roads.

West Chester Antique Center will open Jan. 23 at 4924 Union Centre Pavilion Drive, just off Ohio 747 in a nearly 70,000-square-foot storefront that formerly housed the grocery chain Bigg’s.

The antique center will feature 250 booths, 300 locked showcases and 50 display towers, according to Alex Wang, managing partner of ownership group Mega Antiques LLC.

Wang said Mega Antiques chose to sign a five-year lease with extendable options because of Union Centre Pavilion shopping center’s location. He said the business was “a good fit for the area.”

“West Chester is a very wealthy area and they have a high average income, and there’s no antique mall here,” he said.

Wang said a similar shopping center in Washington Twp. — Washington Park Plaza — had many vacant storefronts until 64,000-square-foot Antiques Village opened in 2013, and those empty spaces filled “very quickly.”

“I think this is a good fit for a high-vacancy property,” he said. “The facility is a great facility.”

The antique center will be open 362 days each year from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and close only for Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
