I agree! The proper term is antique dealer; antique mall; etc. Then you go there to buy antiqueS.

I am in the antique business, and I am puzzled about something that I have noticed in most of the decorating magazines to which I subscribe. They refer in their articles to antiqueS shops, antiqueS malls, and antiqueS shows, all of which are presided over by antiqueS dealers. Yet I know of no one in this business who uses the plural in describing the above things. Who decided this was proper useage? If we were to carry over the same principle to other businesses then we would buy our cars from carS lots, our food at grocerieS stores, or screwdrivers at a hardwareS store. Does anyone have an answer to this?
