Thrift Stores in Evanston, IL

“Loved coming here for housewares and trinkets. I like that their prices have remained affordable and hope they stay that way, because that in itself is community service. The space is always clean, neatly organized and staff are kind. I'd say their open hours are normal for non-profit storefronts.”

“Nice place with very wide range of selection from picture frames to ice skates to stationary to electronics and clothing and bags and so much more! great place for everything!”

“After reading some of the extremely negative reviews, we almost skipped going here after getting our car serviced. But we rarely get to Evanston so we decided to make a day of it. They have 20 times the amount of collectibles as my usual store and those displays showed a lot of care and thought.

Unfortunately, this started to deteriorate as we made our way down to other shelves, which became haphazard and rather messy. Compared to the SA in Arlington Heights, this store is very impressive. This store is also 100 times better than the incredibly run down SA that was in Skokie or the old one that was in South Evanston. But their shoe selection was surprisingly meager.

One small gripe - two massive racks of clothing were completely blocking several rows of piles of toys higher up. I didn't buy anything simply because I didn't need anything, but next time I am in the area and have time, I will definitely return. BTW: I have a very sensitive sniffer and nothing offended me here, as I read in one review.”
