“It was a nice goodwill. Many things are packed on the shelves in the hardlines area, & a very large section of the clothing is dedicated to Woman's Clothing's. Men's section of clothing I found it hard to find any short sleeve collared shirts. Each size of the section didn't have much more than 3 feet of clothing of nothing special brands. I've noticed that many of the 50% tags are missing. They could have been pulled to make more room for new items, but with much space already available, I am unsure why.
This place was a bit clean & organized other Goodwills I have visited.
I really appreciate that they have a bick rack outside the store. Much appreciated.
I wasn't able to find much today. But there's always another day for many new things to come in.”
“Really great thrift store with excellent prices. Kathy the owner was very friendly and explained to us how she likes to rotate the merchandise that she has in her shop. My daughter and her 30-year-old friends love to go thrifting so they can recycle gently used items instead of buying new items. The store had so many great items including a fantastic selection of new as well as vintage lamps, glassware, home decor, jewelry, furniture, shelving units and much much more. We will definitely be back to visit with Kathy and her cute dog Buddy.”
“The store manager was helpful and kind. She shared different content creators online to get inspiration from. I will definitely be returning with my mom to show her the place as well.”
“Lucille really helped me out by taking a bedroom set donation. The scheduler and the pick up guys were great! The pick up crew was very nice and careful. Much appreciated!”
“I saw this place randomly as I drove by, and decided to stop. Extremely glad I did. I found a really nice jacket, and a bunch of little stuff to give as additional Christmas gifts. The folks at the desk were helpful and engaging, and even random customers started conversation and gave advise. Saved in my favorites, I will be back in the new year!”
“I had great luck here today, 3 items tried/3 items purchased. Prices were higher here than some other thrift stores, but nice stuff. They take Venmo, cash or check but no credit cards. But look out for the non-private changing room, lol. I was in there in my skivvies and someone came in -- I called out around the screen that the room was occupied -- she kept coming! I protested that I was trying on clothes, she said in an aggravated tone, "Yes, I want to, too." When I was checking out I asked about it and they said, yes, women are expected to share a common changing space, but I was assured that men were not allowed in when women were in there. Well I should say.”

“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.”
“Cute little thrift store with a varied selection of items. Men's section of clothing is fairly limited. Some nice coats and dress shoes. What stuck out to me the most were the foreign decor pieces. The staff were friendly and courteous.”
“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!”
“Great place, great staff, but be aware that they close in December the Food pantry. Myself and others were walking up to the door today and a bewildered desk person was wondering why we were there, it was Thursday after all. No sign on the door.”
“Best store ever! ?? LOVE shopping here! I find the best books, clothes, and shoes among many other things. They have so many nice things and a wide variety of a little bit of everything. They have women's clothes, men's clothes, baby clothes, toddler clothes, young adult clothing.”
“Great thrift shop. Very random in objects acquired/donated, but interesting enough that it's part of my circuit of places to visit. Usually walk away with at least one thing per visit, or the desire to. Which is more than most thrift stores I visit anymore.”
“I wavered between 3 and 4 stars for this review - I suppose a 3.5 is fair. Don't get me wrong - I absolutely love the restore. They have great treasures to find! Also, my family benefited from a Habitat house when I was growing up - it was a pivotal change in our life so I 100% support all their stores!!However, my decrease in stars comes from the employees/volunteers (not sure which) helping load the items. Next time I'm going to see if I can just use their carts and go get the items myself and take the lead as they load them.Here's the issue: I bought a couch for $200 and table with chairs for $125. The couch was in pretty good shape - no major issues. But I think when the person loaded it on the cart, they grabbed the cushion on the back of the couch and pulled it to life on the card. The middle cushion is now torn. I noticed before the loaded it in the van and said something to the other person helping to load it but it was kinda just brushed off. I could have returned it but need a couch so I figure I'll just get it fixed and be careful for now.Then, the table looked awesome but they put it upside down in the van and then pulled it out to take the legs off. At some point during that, the top of the table was scratched pretty bad. I also saw this and mentioned it to the person but was brushed off more or less. Not really in a rude way - they were all very nice - but just in-different to it. Again, I could have returned it but need it so I'll fix it later.I'll update this review with pics when I can.”
“First time here. Window displays so inviting & festive. Not very big but amazed at quantity of items. Was just going to check out store, instead walked out with several things.”

“Fantastic thrift store, they have great selection of new (when they get items in) and used items. Also goes to a great cause, and they’re conscious of the environment which is a nice plus.”
“I see a couple reviews of 1 star that prices are outrageous and staff is rude. (1) This is so incorrect!!! I'm there every weekend shopping for the last 10 years and not once have I come across a rude employee, upper staff member or volunteer. (2) The prices are extremely fair and lower than all competitors. I've bought many things from here that I've seen at antique stores for 4x the price. Every month Wings has a specific color price tag that is 75% off for whatever items that color price tag is on. Every weekend furniture is 50% off and the last weekend of every month the entire store is 50% off. In my opinion Wings is the best resale store around and has 3 locations, Prospect Heights, Schaumburg and Niles. I've been an antique collector and resale shopper for 36 years and Wings is a great place and always filled with customers.”
“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!”
“We donated to them, but had a chance to see the retail operation. Higher end gently used clothing and household goods, and priced accordingly. We gave them 6 prom dresses and matching shoes, among other things. Similar, nice quality dresses were priced around $40. Definitely worth a look!”
“This was one of my favorite locations but these days there is a short woman who works there whose behavior is completely out of control (anyone else who works there or shops there regularly knows exactly who I’m talking about). She is overly nice to some customers but then randomly VERY mean to others, yelling at them about things they’re not doing and coming up to customers and constantly bothering them. She’s impossible to avoid because her voice resonates across the store and she runs around getting involved in everyone’s business. I have heard many other employees complaining about her on several occasions. I’m sure I’m not the only customer who has been harassed or bothered by her. Her behavior makes me so uncomfortable that I have literally stopped coming here because she ruins the experience. I feel bad for this woman because I know she obviously has special needs but her behavior is unacceptable to the customers. I never write reviews or complain but she is really that bad!”
“A ton of well-organized interesting finds.Hint would be if you do see something that you think you like I would go ahead and purchase it for the low price because of left even overnight it might be gone the next day...”
“Since the change in management, this store has improved significantly. It is now noticeably cleaner, more organized, and better managed. The staff is attentive and professional, and the overall atmosphere is much more welcoming. It’s truly a pleasant experience to shop here now. You can see that customer satisfaction is a clear priority. Keep up the great work!”
“Love it here, the one lady at the checkout is very kind, always find just what I need however lately I feel like the prices have been a little wild like $5-7 for a shirt or pants.. idk tho maybe I’m just cheap. Boyfriend says it smells bad but I don’t smell nothing. There’s one cashier who is like a zombie dead silent never happy, no judgement- hopes she’s okay lol she prob gets paid shit i wouldn’t be happy either lmfao.”
“I frequent this store all the time and always come away with some treasure. I can't tell you how many good buys I have found. Yes prices have gone up, as have prices everywhere. Cost to operate any business cant forever stay the same.”
“Katie is very friendly and kind. Shes really great at making you smile whenever you interact with her its nearly contagious because you cant help but be happy with her and smile too. Katie is awesome! Rock on and keep being your authentic kind self! Love this location because of her :)”
