Area 51 Shoppe

I love it! It’s like antique and thrift shop all in one. They have wooden (not particle board) furniture! I saw a big chest of drawers that was only $ 200 and not one bit of it was pressboard! Also I wandered around looking at all the awesome signs! Beer advertisements, old ads for smokes, restaurants… on metal signs! And lots of neon signs as well, plus a giant fishing lure to hang up! Lots of old toys in great condition. Boxes of comics and vinyl records. Old time plates, bowls, glassware. A little bit of clothing. Some jewelry, knick knacks,(which is cool because we just like to browse through stuff!) video games, coca cola ware (even a coca cola barbecue grill!) a ELVIS doll! So much more… I wanted to spend the rest of the afternoon sifting through everything. Also, great prices! So it’s definitely a go to! And a bonus: very nice customer service :)

Excellent merchandise a lot too look through though I went for records I was surprised how bad the records were kept except of course the Beatles records framed and over priced but still found some great records at a great price

Clean. New and used merchandise. Lots of room to move. Nooks and crannies to explore. Lots of toys.

This is by far, one of the coolest places I’ve found in El Paso! I can spend hours in Area 51 Shoppe. And I know, judging by the name, you’d think it’s all about aliens… but no, this place has a little bit of everything. Comic books, vinyl records, vintage lunchboxes, sweet Breaking Bad artwork, and neon sign. There’s just a million different things in this store that I love and want to own.
So many things that I want, but a few of the things that stood out on my first trip was the Captain Morgan statue (that thing was seriously bigger than me… check the pictures), the Walk/Don’t Walk signs, a snowglobe with the original owner’s picture in it (perfect gift for White Elephant… just saying), and the huge amount of comic books that were only $ 2.
A5S is in this antique shopping warehouse that’s filled with a bunch of different stores, so it may be an all day trip if you’re like me. The outside really doesn’t look like much, but A5S is huge. You’re not human if you don’t leave this place with a bag filled with cool stuff at an unbeatable price.
