“Greg reupholstered my headboard, and it turned out phenomenal! He did quality work, was very accommodating, and was reasonably priced. I will be back for future upholstery jobs!

“It seems there’s a new owner running the store. There was an amazing vinyl record collection which was priced really well. Also some retro turntables and receivers there that looked to be in great shape.”

“The best vintage selection and prices in the Chicago area thanks to the year-round sourcing and expert curation of the independent dealers who work diligently to make the Emporium the success story it is.

The human side of the Emporium's story is equally impressive. The dealers clearly love what they do and bring an eclectic mix of specialties to the Emporium's incomparable selection of vintage treasures. This keeps the inventory fresh, interesting, and diverse.

Speaking of diversity, the Emporium's dealers come from different ethnicities, genders, and backgrounds. The Emporium reflects a modern, inclusive mindset grounded in the rich history of the USA. Customers are welcome regardless of their race, color, creed, or vintage shopping experience.

The dealers themselves staff the front checkout counter on a shared schedule. They want the best outcomes for customers and the Emporium, and treat customers accordingly. The atmosphere is friendly and helpful even at the busiest times.

Using reviews to put forth vague victim narratives reflects a chip on one person's shoulder, not the proven Emporium experience which is one of courtesy, civility, and joy for customers and dealers alike.”
