“Everything is 7.39... ? ?, but clean facility... nice staff...no more daily color sales
They took the fun out of shopping, just call it the $8.00 store...”
“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!”
“Nice Staff who do a great job arranging the donated items. I especially love the openings with fresh restocking every season. Elana the manger is doing a fantastic job at the helm.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 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.”
“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.”
“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 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.”
“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!”
“Always find something great at Forest & Found. Prices aren't Goodwill level, but items are always of high quality, so beats having to find a needle in a haystack at GW or Salvation Army. Often find NWT clothes for my wife for a great price and I appreciate the good selection of men's clothes in the basement. Diana is very friendly and helpful!”
“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!”
“Visited Goodwill out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised. There’s plenty of parking, a huge selection of items, and everything felt clean and well organized. Best of all — it doesn’t have that typical smell you sometimes notice in other thrift stores.
We didn’t end up buying anything, but the overall impression was very positive. Definitely worth stopping by to browse!”
“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.”
“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...”
“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.”
