“Definitely a great place to bargain-hunt! My niece is the store manager, and she's fiendish about organizing and labeling the shelves. If you can't find it at AbleLight, you probably won't find it anywhere :)”

“This is a good flea market with friendly vendors and staff, tasty food and beverage and items sold at very low prices. The only thing that was off was when I went (on a Friday) more than half the vendors were not there and their spaces were closed. Besides that this is a good flea market though.”

“Great place for DIY & GC's looking for a solid selection random items to finish that home improvement project you have. This place also has a pretty decent select of home furnishings from time to time, obviously if you find something you like you'd best purchase it right away as it will most likely be sold soon.”

“I'm a first-time shopper at this thrift store and pet rescue! I entered and heard dogs barking and was curious and intrigued at the concept of helping animals in need. It is a very large thrift store and jam-packed with all kinds of items. The picture section was one of the largest I have seen in a thrift store. They also had some unique antique and vintage items mixed in the newer and more everyday thrift store items.I did get to see the dogs, and the area was clean and smelled fresh. There was a new arrival dog in a kennel who looked comfortable and relaxed. (See photo) They even had a cat sitting room, which looked clean and pet friendly.They had a lot of nice items and clothes. We ended up buying a bunch of items, and the lady at the cash register was really nice!Spend some time there looking high and low because things can be buried or tucked back in shelves.”

“This place is small but is filled with great items. The prices are honestly incredible. 2.50 for sweaters and 1.50 for t shirts is amazing. They definitely help out the community with affordable clothing. The ladies that helped me were great. Honestly this is a great place to go to get items. I highly recommend it!”

“Robert is an amazing person that actually made an impact in Elgin. He will be missed and hopefully the next person can focus on helping the community and getting everyone the correct help they need. Since he first showed up, I can see the great things he had done less in a year and also had showed the Latino community he is well trusted. Never seen salvation army this active since Robert the mayor came in and took over. Hopefully it can be maintained like that.”

“I think it was Ken and Anthony who found the books I mistakenly dropped off there. They were very nice and helpful. I really appreciate that they went above and beyond to help me. So often people do the minimum, it's great that the team at the hoffman estates goodwill does the maximum to provide their customers and donors with the best customer experience.”

“Jackie the associates manager was phenomenal. She had great energy, a great sense of humor and allowed my friend and I to try on a bunch of stuff they had in the back of their service desk. Unfortunately we didn’t find what we were looking for today but that’s okay, Jackie was the highlight of my visit today definitely will be coming back to this location again. Store was clean and had a lot of stuff just not stuff in my size.”

“After reading others’ reviews, I was cautious to shop this store. However I noticed most of the negative reviews came from people who were attempting to sell clothes. I was shopping not selling and I hoped I would have a different experience.

When I walked in, I asked where to find what I needed. The employee not only told me and pointed the section out, she also walked me over and showed me the exact sizes that I was looking for. She then explained the return policy and asked if I had other questions. I shopped, went to the register, and a different employee immediately stopped her task and rang up my purchases. The cashier explained the loyalty program and chatted while she worked. As I walked out a third employee wished me a good day.

Other reviews also commented on the age of the employees. Everyone I saw today was younger (late teens early twenties) and they provided excellent service. I had a great experience and would recommend this location.”
