“Distinctive Coins is the Best Place to go to for all your silver, gold needs. Whether it's Buy or Sell. Definitely consider coming here. Chris was awesome. He was friendly Knowledgeable. Answered all my questions and even taught me a few things. I would give 10 Stars if Possible!”
“Elite Repeat is such an amazing store and absolutely worth the visit. From the rage of name brands and styles to an entire fur coat closet there is something for everyone. The shop is multi-generational woman owned and you can tell how much they care about what they do in the care they have for the store and the way it’s organized. Absolutely loved it and can’t wait to go back!”
“A very charming store that always has unique finds and furniture.
I also love the markets they host in town- they do so much to make Lemont a great place to visit and live!”
“Thank You so much for the excellent work you did on our 1920's Hall Clock. It's now working just as it did the day it was purchased at Marshall Fields back then. Thank You”
“I love 30 North Antiques! The owner, Bobby, is so kind and really cares about her customers. She has the best selection, and I always enjoy coming in. The store is big with three different areas, so there’s something for everyone. There are lots of cute trinkets, unique finds, and little treasures you won’t see anywhere else.”
“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! I highly recommend If you are looking to replace or switch up your style on an older piece of furniture, you want to keep!”
“Fantastic vintage shop. Lots of great pieces. Filled with collectible glassware and decor. As a collector and reseller, it’s not priced in a way that works for me but it’s still got a great selection for those who aren’t looking for a crazy steal.”
“A very nice little antique jewelry shop tucked away in a back corner. They sell a variety of beautiful things and also work with a very good jeweler who can clean and repair old pieces you already own.”

“This is the only place to purchase Lanzi Carnel nut chew candy. I called a bunch of different stores and nobody knew what I was talking about. I will definitely be back as the store has alot of random things wives live to buy. The person at this location (wish I asked for her name) extremely helpful and made my experience very nice. A gem to visit if your in Elmhurst!!!!”
“One of my favorite shops in all of Chicagoland. I always find something special and unique. The owner has special ordered items for me and staff has gone out of their way to help me find the perfect gift.”

“I was very impressed by Kathryn and her staff's outstanding customer service, flexibility, and personalized attention, when I had to special order some products. I love the decor and unique items in the store, which make beautiful gifts. I highly recommend Bench492!”
“Honestly, please ignore all those one star reviews! Screw them! Especially the ones regarding the bathroom it’s just blasphemy. Ultimate Treasures is not only an amazing antique & thrift store filled with ANYTHING you could ask for from couches to art to movies to books to clothes to even good condition used toiletries & cooking products even TJ’s brand olive oil well hell you name it… BUT it is an incredible first date idea (like guys- write this down)! You can go exploring down every aisle & always find something incredible & worthwhile! This store has so much to offer though seriously. So I mean ‘tis the season to bring your Valentine here & go find a relic that will last an era of romance & adoration! Ps if someone could please give the leather jacket that is so sick and says “Babe Squad” on the back a great home & then please post a review with a photo of you flaunting it I’d absolutely love that (I don’t have the confidence)! Anyways, just please please please if you don’t do anything else in Downers Grove, at least make a stop to Ultimate Treasures! It’s a life changing destination to add to your list. And maybe you’ll fall in love… who knows!”
“Attended midnight madness, it was getting pretty busy in the evening. I hope they did well. Seemed there were lots of happy shoppers. I found a few antique bells ? as gift toppers. Will circle through again.”
“If you ever need someone to sell gold or coins to I definitely recommend going to talk to Brian. No bullshit kind of guy knows the market and it's trends. Honest, trustworthy, and informative. Sold my gold and gave me 4% over cost. Tell them Gregg Arns sent you.”
“We actually go here every year my sons love antiques and they have a great selection and reasonably priced. They have everything from antiques , jewelry, tools , toys, games exc. And the employees there are patient and always helpful.”

“I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Friedman, his son Steve, and his colleague Tim. They were all very pleasant.
I reached out via email regarding an inherited stamp collection, and Dr. Bob was patient and very explanatory. We scheduled a time to come visit and discuss, to see if there was any sale value to Dr. Bob's shop. He did purchase a portion, and provided me with an appraisal and recommendations on what/where to do with the remainder of the collection.
I am grateful for Friedman & Sons expertise and professionalism - it has helped me to find a place for a century+ old collection of stamps that will now be loved appropriately by those in the philately community.
Highly recommend.”
“Tired of following signs that advertise 'ANTIQUES' only to find a buiding full of Beanie Babies, 1970s kitchenware, and your high school yearbook? Sign of the Whale offers none of that. What you will find are authentic antiques - not reproductions - pleasingly displayed in a clean and organized setting. The owners are knowledgeable and friendly and I'll be stopping there whenever I am near Glen Ellyn.”
“We love this store! I have bought everything from outdoor furniture to paintings and it’s always so clean, organized and inviting.
The staff is always kind and helpful.”
“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.”
“Although I did not purchase anything, I thought this store was cute and quaint. I enjoyed walking around and looking at all of the items. It is filled - I mean jam packed - with antiques. They have everything from silver spoons, paintings, and jewelry, to a letter from Robert F Kennedy. I overheard the gentleman behind the counter say that the store has been around for something like 40 years! No wonder! If you're in the area and you like antiques, I'd stop by and take a gander. You might find something you love.”
“This is the second house sale that I have been to run by this group. I have to say everything is very organized and professional. They are all SUPER nice. Highly recommend and can't wait for the next sale!”
“LOTS of stuff. You can find some decent antique furniture among other things. The place is really big and it has some older retail equipment etc. Worth a look. Parking was fine too.”
“A hidden gem in Hinsdale! This unique store sells higher-end furniture and decor with 100% of the profits benefitting Wellness House, which provides support and services for those with, or affected by, cancer. Volunteers staff the store and there is new inventory weekly. Shopping here is a win-win!”
