“Shopping here is always a pleasure because the staff are very friendly and you can find what you're looking for. They should just put the sizes on the clothes; you waste a lot of time looking through all the clothes to find something in your size.”
“Ive came here numerous times over the past year, and my house and closet are full of things ive gotten here. super underrated thrift shop!! super affordable too!”

“really cool interior especially for a thrift shop, found a great book and accessories here, not a super big selection of clothes but I had a feeling it’s frequently restocked and rotated”
“Best thrift store I’ve been to in a long time, amazing prices and cute stuff, and most importantly lovely staff! The old ladies working were so very sweet and helpful. I got so much stuff for $28, highly recommend this to anyone wanting to thrift!”
“Finally been coming here almost every Sunday! What a treat this place is. Really good food vendors, bathrooms are great! Provided by Allstate Arena. Staff is so sweet and helpful. Parking has been good. No issues.
This is not the type of place for anyone who doesn't like walking,there is lots of walking and you have to see everything!
Mainly there are the same vendors but then there is a lot of new ones with new stuff. Lots of good deals and fun finds!”
“Such a lovely store. Can’t sing Jen’s praises enough. She made my husband and I feel so welcome. Wonderfully organized but you can still have that “digging around” thrifting experience. Support this business!!!”
“This shop is truly a hidden gem! My husband and I discovered it while celebrating his birthday, and we’re so glad we did. The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more special. We found so many wonderful treasures—my husband picked up a collectible book, and I couldn’t resist some gorgeous jewelry, a lovely scarf, a chic hat, elegant glassware, and even a stylish wine carrier. Every piece felt unique and thoughtfully curated. You won’t be disappointed when you visit!”

They have a basement with lots of stuff. Decent Prices, Great Customer Service, (they are very helpful in assisting you). It is also very clean and organized there. It is worth checking it out!”

“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.”
“Absolutely love the Shop from the attentive staff and volunteers, to the amazing window displays, from the great selection of clean, quality clothing that I am saving from a landfill to the important mission. So glad to have the shop in town.”
“This was first time in this sweet shop but not my last. I thought that I had been UNDERcharged for an item; the owner kindly addressed it all. There are so many nifty items that will attract all visitors.”

“Give Jovan a raise and less responsibilities right now!!
I was in here and it was slammed and there was a line even with enough cashiers, which was no one's fault, everyone in line seemingly had some edge case issue. Jovan was handling helping fellow cashiers with their edge cases while handling my own which was that for years I've had two emails on my account and it's been confusing every time for me and the cashiers and no matter what no one could fix it. Well Jovan took notes, told me I was the second person today with this issue, and explained to me that he could not fix it but explained to me what could be done.”
“I have found some real treasures here and items seem to cycle out pretty regularly. I recently got a little porcelain dish that said “chance made us sisters, hearts made us friends” that’s too cute! I’ve also found nice linens and vintage tea towels that I like to use for sewing projects. Also the prices are decent considering city pricing imo!”
“Some great finds with amazing prices! I also appreciate knowing that it's going to a good cause. The workers are volunteers and we're very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely go back to both donate and purchase items.”
“Nice and genuine people.Everyone is very helpful and kind. I go there on every Monday and Wednesday. It's really fun and new learnings. Hats off to their work”
“Love coming here!! It is a treasure chest of jewelry, clothing, shoes, house stuff and more. Today i found Salvador Ferragamo boots, in Chocolate brown in my size!! I bought a flower arrangement in a basket in perfect condition
And brand new mugs. I started Xmas shopping for sure! Nancy the manager is always so friendly and helpful. Thank you for expanding the store. It looks bright and shiny! Congratulations Wings and Nancy on a job really well done!”
“I enjoy going here to find charming decor, kitchenware, craft supplies, and clothing occasionally. For example, I found this cute snowman tablecloth to use for winter. I also was able to find lots of lights and tinsel for this past Christmas. They do not have clothing for babies/children (except some costumes like for Halloween), but there are toys and other media in the back. Been visiting for over a year. I think the current staff are pleasant! They greet you verbally with a hello or nonverbally with a smile and otherwise won’t bother you as you browse unless you want help. They also are very receptive to donations. Thankful to explore this little treasure trove.”

“Em and Z! The best duo for all your jewelry needs. Unreal hospitality, energy off the roof, and advice that was genuine. The energy of this block strives on local business and this is a MUST stop next time you’re in Wicker Park!”
“I have severe allergies and most Thrift stores are dirty and I can only stand to ne in there for 10 min or less. Goodwill on Touhy is so clean that I was able to shop around and no sneezing.”
“Great store! I appreciate not having to pick through items from Old Navy, Target and such. If I want Old Navy and Target (which I like), then I will buy them new at those stores. What I love about The Xchange is they have a good selection of unique designer items as well as higher end brands such as North Face etc. If I were to sell here, I would sell gently used or maybe even unused higher end items and take the other things to Goodwill or donate. This store fits perfectly into its neighborhood.”

“This is Goodwill had a few gems. My niece and I didn't go crazy but we walked away with a decent haul. I loved this platter. My great grandmother once owned something similar. That's why I got it!!!”
“I had time to kill between testing at Lutheran General so I stopped in to roam the aisles and I’m so glad I did!
The store is extremely organized. The shelves are neatly stacked with countless treasures, separated by holiday, frames, kitchen items, serving dishes, mugs, decor etc. Everything was easily visible without having to lift or move things.
I did not shop for clothes but was impressed by the endless racks of items. Everything neatly hung separated by size and color. A coat did catch my eye which was vintage cashmere Mark Shale for $6.99. I snatched that right up. It’s gorgeous.
Next trip I will be spending more time going thru the clothing. The shoes are separated by color and there were many that caught my eye but I was running out of time.
The staff was incredibly friendly (well, the young man that checked me out was really the only person I interacted with) but he was great.
Looking forward to stopping by again.”
“I basically bought a new closet from this store. Almost all of my items were less than $10 - sandals, dresses, pants, tanktops, shirts, jewelry, activeware. My biggest purchase was an amazing dress I wore to a wedding for $30. There's 3 changing rooms which is nice. I never felt watched (and I was coming in with big bags) and the ladies ringing me up were always nice.
If you're a smaller size, there's some really nice clothes here!”
“Good place to find affordable clothing, furniture, books, and household items. The store has a wide variety of products, and you can often discover unique treasures at great prices. The staff was friendly, and the overall shopping experience was pleasant. The store could be a bit more organized, but overall it’s a great place for budget-friendly shopping. I would definitely visit again.”
“Was overwhelmed by all the awesome finds there. I mean there were JEANS upon JEANS. I found some really nice hats, pants, shirts, literally everything. If you’re looking for gym shoes, there might not be many, but either way it’s still good.”
“This is one of the best thrift stores in the north shore. It began years ago as a clothing exchange for the preschool that shares the building and evolved from there. They are so well organized and do an excellent job of putting items on sale when they have too much of something. They are volunteer run and donations go to local charities. It’s a gem of a place to donate and shop.”
