“very nice staff but prices has gone up alot. thrifting is also to help people who can't afford certain item, not to pay retail price for used items. The prices starting to look like salvation army prices.”

“We adopted Weather yesterday. She is such a WONDERFUL, 2 year old mixed breed stray from out of town. Reach really does their due-diligence - checks your references and interviews you! Until you're cleared for take off, the one boss lady can seem a little strict, but anyone can see that everyone there has the best interests of the animals passionately in their hearts! There are so many cases of abuse and neglect in this world, and they want to make sure none of their beloved animals become a statistic.
I've owned small businesses and done a lot of volunteer work. I know too well that things don't always go right despite good intentions. To the other reviewers that didn't report 5-star experiences, I urge them to show some grace to these dedicated and passionate volunteers. Their hearts are AMAZING!
Thank you Reach Rescue!”
“I donate often and this is my go to place to drop off donation now. The staff who receive donations are always polite and courteous. The way they present items for resale, it is obvious how much care and heart they put into it. It looks like a well kept store.”
“I can't say enough great things about Robyn's Nest! My mom and I frequent her store almost weekly. She is kind, accommodating, and offers a warm and welcoming environment. Not to mention the store is beautifully curated and laid out for a comfortable and enjoyable shopping experience. All items are in beautiful condition and organized neatly on racks and shelves. I have found so many fun treasures here and look forward to the next time I shop here!”
“Love this cute resale store, and it's shopping with a purpose because of its mission to serve and help those around the world. So, this is my go-to place to donate, and I've found some great clothing, shoes, and purses there. There's always a sale! Just make sure and check the days and hours when they are open.”
“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!”
“Great charity shop, all proceeds go to a local hospital. Nice assortment of women's clothes and shoes. housewares and men's section is a smaller but still full of high quality finds”
“Wonderful, respectful staff and reasonably priced items.Store is clean, organized, and they really do a beautiful job merchandising. You can really find some gems in here.”
“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 love this thrift shop staff is kind and I always donate all of my gently used items here. I know they go to a good cause and will sell at a fair price. I really appreciate the low prices. It’s what thrift shops are all about. No stinginess. Good items for good prices and nice staff is very important. Oh And I must say it is very clean and doesn’t smell vs other thrift shops ! I love that I get text messages from them about sales and events. I will continue to support this place by donating and buying. This is my favorite sparrows locations.”

“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 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 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.”
“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.”

“This is my daily drivin store of all time along with the goodwill rolling meadows location
I got great deals on literally Electronics and Video games
Update: even if the store closed for public I can still buy PC and mobile games digitally
Update 2: 10 years later I'm so cherished that this location is still going strong and well due to strong donations support and great atmosphere”
“My son is always looking for dvd/blue ray movies and records. This goodwill is a great location. I found a few really great board games here also. Staff are really great too and the store is really well organized and clean.”
“I am a frequent shopper at this store. It is always clean and well merchandised. I have interacted with the manager, Heather, in the past and she has always been kind and courteous. Today, however, she went over and above. Somehow, I don't know how or where, I cut my finger. She was so kind and helpful, giving me wipes, antibiotic cream and Band-Aids. She even helped me by opening the items so I could access them easier. She is the true Spirit of Christmas.”
“Great people. Great stuff and they told me it all goes to the community. Super happy it exists. Moved here from LA — so much better deals than the ones out west and better quality too! Love my new silver bowl.”
“Best day is Monday. Unfortunately savers must think their donations are gold. They have started pricing way too high. A used tank top 7.99. Walmart brand new 7.99. ? I'm going for new”
“This place is great! prices are still reasonable unlike other thrift stores in the area. Glad they are still keeping the half off colors. Staff is really nice and helpful.”
“A lot of clothing items are in this store, and a huge section for shoes. In terms of selection, it has a lot, and items are more organized than in other stores I visited. The clothes prices are a bit higher than at Walmart and Ross, but you can find nice items if you are willing to pay a high price for them.”
“I think it was Ken and Anthony who found the books I mistakenly dropped off there. They were very nice and helpful. I really appreciate that they went above and beyond to help me. So often people do the minimum, it's great that the team at the hoffman estates goodwill does the maximum to provide their customers and donors with the best customer experience.”

“JP RESALE took care of my "big heavy baby" : cleaned, fixed, get the oil changed for $90. A job done and well done in a couple of hours! Thank you.#supportlocalbusiness”
“This thrift store is the only place I can ever go and find something for $1! Sometimes without it even being on sale!
Prices are generally reasonable and it’s somewhat organized by size. Not so much the kids section.
I can almost always find what I’m looking for when i come here! I’ve had success with specific dinner plates i was hunting for, kids clothes, women’s clothes, household linens like sheets/cloth napkins/washclothes, and more.
Not the best for kids toys, books, or shoes. Small selection. Worth a trip though!”
“Thank you! I was able to buy high quality clothing, shoes, accents for my new home! Everything is here. It's your one stop shop for everything you need and want! #VanceRubio2028”
“clean, organized, friendly staff, & fair prices! I've been shopping there for years & love this store! bought my 2nd piece of furniture yesterday. so excited!”
