What are you looking for in a shopping experience? Depends on what you’re in the market for, right? Do you run to the nearest mall for the latest in clothing and accessories and head to the big chain stores for home furnishings and décor, inspirational books, or games and toys for the kids? The good news is you can find all that and so much more right here at Ohio’s Market Berlin.

“We’ve been in this location for two years,” general manager Marvin Yoder said. “From the beginning we made a commitment to our shoppers, both visitors and locals, to create an experience they would enjoy, but also one where they could find everything they’re looking for, whether for themselves, the family, gifts for all and just about everything else.”

There’s no need for the inconvenience of the mall and the big box stores. Ohio’s Market Berlin is an upscale shopping mall carrying name brands in every category including Simply Southern apparel and accessories, Tickled Teal apparel, Versa Totes, hats by C.C Beanie, Geoberti men’s
apparel, Melissa & Doug toys, poly outdoor furniture, and book vendors offering Amish and inspirational books at deeply discounted prices.

“We offer the largest selection of home décor in the area,” Yoder said. “We also offer free interior design services. Our on-staff designers stay up to date on the latest trends and popular brands to be sure that’s what we’re providing to our shoppers.”

Yoder said part of the charm of Ohio’s Market Berlin is that it mixes the old with the new. Along with new products, you’ll find repurposed furniture in the popular farmhouse style along with brand-new and in-stock upholstered furniture.

“We want shoppers to know Ohio’s Market Berlin has it all,” Yoder said. “Shopping the market is a lot of fun. As you wander the aisles, you’ll see more traditional shops. For example, Berlin Family Treasures is full of dolls and every doll accessory you can imagine including handmade clothing, Amish dresses and dollhouse furniture. Then the next shop offers the latest in apparel, handbags or home décor. It’s everything in one place.”

And Ohio’s Market Berlin didn’t forget about the men. Lodge cast iron outdoor cookware, grilling and camping supplies, and ammunition and men’s apparel are all available.

Indoors or out, Ohio’s Market Berlin also has your holiday gift list covered. Kids toys and games, custom-designed cornhole boards, and jewelry are just a few of the gift ideas you’ll find as you explore.

“Why fight the malls this holiday season?” Yoder said. “We’ll be offering sales and specials on Black Friday along with extended hours and opportunities to win gift cards and gift baskets throughout the day. And when you visit the market, don’t forget about the basement, where we offer overstocked and discontinued items at deep discounts.”

When you do visit the market, you’ll find a convenient, one-floor, accessible layout with plenty of parking and shopping carts for purchases.

“We’ve spent the last two years focusing exclusively on making Ohio’s Market Berlin a true upscale shopping experience for our customers,” Yoder said. “Our shoppers talked, and we listened. We do a lot of shopper surveys where we ask what people want. Then we go out and get it. It’s really that simple.”

Yoder said Ohio’s Market Berlin has worked hard to shake off the past reputation of strictly an antique market to become exactly what this community and visitors are looking for in a shopping mall.

“We’ve discovered through surveys that nine out of 10 local shoppers return to the market in less than 30 days,” Yoder said. “That means we’re doing it right and responding to the needs of this community. People aren’t passing us by anymore as they head to the mall or chain stores. They know they can find just what they need and want, plus so much more, right here at Ohio’s Market Berlin. That makes everyone very happy.”
