The Carmel Old Town Antique Mall ( COTAM ) opened at 38 W.
Main St. on October 1, 2003. Roman and Linda Chang started
with 5 dealers in the summer of 2002 to form a new mall
because we wanted additional quality locations to sell our
things. We placed an ad inviting applicants to join us in Carmel,
Indiana and soon filled our 1st location in Mohawk shopping
center, opening October 1st 2002 with a total of 10 dealers. Our
waiting list grew rapidly as visiting dealers recognized our
standards of excellence and wanted to be part of the team. We
doubled in size in 2 weeks after our neighbor moved out and we
did some radical remodeling. By November 1st we were
enjoying great success with 19 dealers and a waiting list of over
25. In February of 2004 we started negotiations on our current
location. By May we closed the deal and started remodeling one
of the oldest buildings in Carmel located in the heart of Old
Town. Our waiting list by this time was 125! We opened In
October with 72 dealers and 100% occupied in 84 booths and
showcases. Our floor space went from 1750 to 3500 to a little
under 12,000 sq. ft. in a short year. We currently have a waiting
list but new dealers are not selected from the order they came
aboard but from an application and interview process to insure
the best quality and diversity we feel our mall should offer.

I can spend hours browsing through the lovely antiques and collectibles. They also do appraisals. I can always find something special for me or for when I want a unique and one-of-a-kind gift for a friend.
