Crescent Moon, a family-owned business in San Antonio, is best described as a collectibles store. If someone is into antique malls, record shops or thrifting, they are bound to enjoy the space. Walking through Crescent Moon feels like walking through a maze, as there are dozens of individual stalls allocated for different vendors to sell their goods. The vendors can sell whatever products they hope to, which creates a lot of variety of the items sold in the mall. Although their stock is vast and diverse, Crescent Moon specializes in decor and records.
Upon entering, customers are greeted with collectible figurines, shelves lined with glass vases and crates holding old records. Through the aisles, people can find anything from retro comic books to antique furniture. The back of the establishment holds a separate music store that boasts an impressive selection of vinyl, CDs, music posters, stickers, magnets and more — essentially anything a music lover is sure to appreciate. The workers are well-educated about music and take requests if someone is looking for a specific artist or album on vinyl.
The space itself serves as a great platform for local artists and vendors to promote their businesses. The owners of Crescent Moon make it easy to register to sell products. Through this, they uplift smaller creators — building a sense of community throughout their store. The prices are extremely reasonable with frequent deals posted, depending on the vendor. It is clear that sellers work to make things affordable and accessible.
