“Love this store! Very well organized and the Displays are nicely done, but still inviting to look through and find treasure. We were happily greeted by DEBRA, who was fantastic! If you need help finding anything or getting an opinion she’s your girl! She was so much fun to shop with, my friend and I really enjoyed ourselves. I was actually there to support my friend who was looking for some things for a trip she’s going on. She found a lot of nice things, and they were having 20% off of everything! She found a gorgeous jacket from Talbots for a very low price, among things, and I even came out with a nice pair of jeans and two tops! YOU HAVE TO Go!!! And say Hi to Debra!!?”
“This place is beautiful. Thru quality of merchandise is A-1. The staff is so helpful and pleasant. The candles selection is top tier. They have candles and soaps that are locally available. I purchased a Coach bracelet and will be back for the necklace. Check them out - you won't be disappointed.”
“I stopped by today for the first time at this amazing vintage store.
I got lost for almost 2 hours. Every single thing is very special and it’s like telling a story.
I for few great things for my living room and backyard.
I will definitely be back looking for new vintage decorations.
The ladies from the store were absolutely amazing, helped me to get everything in my car.”
“Discovered this shop on my visit to downtown Grayslake. Five star experience from start to finish. Loved exploring all the books and crannies each filled with different treasures. I can't wait to come back and explore some more. Friendly staff made for an enjoyable experience for both my sister and I. Highly recommend!”
“This opens up only at certain times of the year but when it is open. It’s one of the best places to visit for any antique or even newer items. Chances are, you can find anything you’re looking for here. Overall, a great place to visit, prices vary by seller, and what you find depends on the time you go.”
“Scout and Forge is a Hidden Treasure of Long Grove! So many unique finds that bring back the memories of the past. Love this little shop, wish I could visit it more often.”
“I’ve gone here for years, since I was in middle school, and i’ve always been able to find some great stuff.
Unfortunately a lot of the items nowadays are shein and polyester, but if you check frequently you can find some goodies + the fitting rooms are available! I highly appreciate the ladies that work there as some of the customers have no home training and leave the store an absolute wreck!!!! (like leaving clothes on the floor and getting them all dirty with dust because of it! put it back on the rack if you drop something!!!)
The prices have slightly increased over the last two years but that’s to be expected as inflation is hitting everything.
Otherwise, I will continue to come here and the color tags with discounts are my favorite! I’ve also found some of my favorite clothes from here!”
“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.”
“I've been shopping at this place for years and I can say that it improved quite a lot. It's better organized and cleaner. They obviously listen to customer complaints. It's true that there's still no fitting rooms or public bathrooms but I assume it might be a budget and shortage of staff issue. It is also true that their prices are higher than the local Goodwills but they are lower than Saver's. Either way is a good place to shop. You never know where and when you're gonna find your next treasure. Another thing that I want to point out is if they would be a bit more selective about the stuff they put on the floor: I found items that were either stained, ripped or smelly. Being more selective would reduce the clutter on the floor and improve customer flow.”
“I always find something here! There's a mix of local artist creations, antiques, earrings, household decorations and clothes. There's great sales and wonderful employees!”
