“I love this place, the stock is always new and the staff is wonderful. So many fun treasures to find. I often loose track of time and they don't ever rush me. They even stayed an hour past close one night and I didn't even realize it. They are the bomb. They price by the lot so the thrill of the hunt is a blast. Totally stop by often!! Highly recommend.”
“Absolutely love this place. During my last visit, I found a winter coat for $4.00. I have gotten so many compliments from coworkers asking me where I got it from. Very reasonable prices compared to other resale shops.”
“This is a great thrift in a great little downtown area in Glen Ellyn. Lots of great, higher-end decorations and homewares that you don't see in other thrift stores. They had some smaller pieces of furniture like chairs and coffee tables that all looked in great condition. In the back of the store there are racks of nice clothing. I didn't see anything that was dirty, smelled, torn, or damaged.”
“My favorite thrift store to visit and donate to. The gentleman at the front desk is always kind and loves to have conversations with the customers. The deals are amazing. You can tell this place enjoys giving back to the community.”
“Very comfortable shop, nice staff, nice looking furniture and clothing. Plenty of knickknacks and dishes, etc. Pretty light on baby and toddler clothes, but very good prices!”
“This place is very small and well organized! It goes to a great cause and I love coming here! I got some really cute antique glass wear and the people working there are super nice.”
“....if thrift heaven were a place on earth it would be this place !!

“I found this place about five months ago, And I’m glad I did. The staff is very friendly. The merchandise is beautiful. The store is very clean and neat. It looks like a little boutique with very affordable prices. That’s my to go place. Thank you for supporting woman and families in need.”
“I love visiting new places, especially resale shops. My friend and I found this shop on Google and decided to visit. The parking is great, the outside of the shop is welcoming, the pricing is fair and the staff were welcoming. The store is very well organized, clothing items are sized and other items are in specific areas depending on the item. They provide a fitting room if you need to try anything on. They do not have a bathroom so beware if you are the person who after shopping for a while need to take a bathroom break you will need to leave and come back. Overall, we were very pleased with this resale shop and it is now on our list of go to shopping places.”
“Happened upon while driving on Roosevelt.....Love the interesting finds and the fact they support a Cat Rescue!! They also have some Incense and Sage sticks along with some cool vintage threads! One of my finds were these 3 tiny Deer figurines! Purrrfect for my Fairy terrarium!!!”
“Been shopping since ‘85. Now I volunteer. It is super fun. I would arrange my work schedule to shop here, because the sale dates are very limited. Put the dates on your calendar! Almost all volunteer run!!! They support several Oak Park Charities. It is a worthwhile cause and a blast to shop. It is an old mansion and each room has a different kind of merchandise. A real treasure hunt.”
“A Hidden Gem in Downers Grove!
I absolutely love this Goodwill location—the design and layout make it feel like I’m shopping at Nordstrom! The atmosphere is clean, modern, and surprisingly upscale for a thrift store. The product selection is phenomenal, with everything from fashion and home goods to unique finds you won’t see anywhere else.
Prices are unbeatable, and the quality of items is consistently impressive. On top of that, the staff is friendly and helpful, which makes the shopping experience even better. Whether you're hunting for a designer piece or just browsing for fun, this store delivers.
Highly recommend checking it out—you might walk in looking for one thing and leave with a cart full of treasures!”
“Well organized facility and if you are a thrifter as I am this is one of the best locations to find those gems you are seeking. I love the new management, especially since the transition, along with the staff embracing diversity more, and that is very important to me as a customer as well as consumer.The location is very clean and well organized and that is an understatement even the washrooms are sanitized and very clean.If you are seeking quality items at very reasonable prices this your store, all staff are very courteous, besides helpful except one I believe her name is Jane , and is more of a Karen than anything else, once you learn to ignore her along with her negative attitude.Your shopping experience will be AMAZING. I love this location very much and highly recommend.”
“Large donation center, well organized. Plenty of parking, Handicapped accessible entry. Most items reasonably priced, but a few were overpriced. Large assortment of goods for perusal and purchase. Enough cashiers ready at checkout. Restrooms clean and available for patrons. I would shop here again.”
“We bought a table here. They disassembled it for me so that it could get into the car. The staff is very friendly, they told me everything and answered all my questions (taking into account that I am not very fluent in English). I liked the furniture, but it is constantly changing there.”
“I asked a young man named Ethan and asked for help finding something and he was so kind and helped me right away he was very helpful throughout the whole experience despite all he had to do!”
“I really liked this store. Tons of variety. Great prices. I hate even giving this review because I feel like I'm giving away my secret favorite new place to shop. Hahaha”
“A fun & quirky maze with tons to see! Lots of unique items and a great selection of vintage. Debbie was great with providing info and a pleasure to deal with. Came away with a great piece for my collection!”
“5 stars. The poor reviews and experiences are very shocking to read because I've only had pleasant experiences with this shop and its owner over the years. I began shopping & consigning here over ten years ago. I found the experience to be convenient and extremely helpful. Catrina has great style and can find pieces that will complement your shape and aesthetic. Some of my favorite pieces were amazing finds from this shop. My fur was a GREAT deal! Several purses and accessories. Dresses and special occasion wear, too. I will say that she is very selective when selecting piece to consign and I appreciate that. I prefer to shop high quality items versus a high quantity of items. I appreciate that she will try and sell items on eBay as well as in the store to increase the odds of sale. She's always been great about supporting community efforts and has a philanthropic spirit around certain causes. If you didn't have a pleasant encounter with this store, I encourage you to return and share what wasn't to your liking. An honest conversation and an open heart can make a huge difference. I will continue to support this local shop whenever I can.”

“For those of you that complain about their policy regarding them not immediately being able to price an item. This is typical. This is a thrift store. Service isn't going to be amazing. Their policy is the same everywhere "if there is no tag then it needs to be properly priced and you can return the next day in the morning to ask for the item and get it then. I did this before and they were accommodating at another location. Although it is inconvenient to have to come back simply for this reason. It's understandable since they need to determine the price a certain way to get some kind of profit and so forth. I don't believe every employee is trained to be able to determine the price of all or any items. These locations are always short staffed so keep that in mind as well. If you want something better in that sense go to a Bloomingdales or a Nordstrom. Not that you can afford it in this economy ?as they say be grateful for what you have”
“Overstock is a fun place to loose track of time! Friday is when their new stock comes in and people actually line up to get in!
The staff is friendly, may be a little language barrier but the employees do a really nice job trying to talk to the customer. I have bought several things from overstock and Im glad I do. Don't expect everything to work since it is all Amazon returns but they do have an outlet where you can test the item you want! Majority of the things work fairly.
They also have patio furniture that looks brand new! And other furniture that I have seen people take home!
Overall, overstock is a great place to go and waste time and find the little things you need around the house for cheap than buy it at full price at Amazon.”
“Great store but the customers need to realize they are customers and not bosses and save the bossing for your loved ones because people outside of your home don't have to put up with you”
“I love this place very nice.Employees very helpful.I love coming here, every Friday with my mom loves the employees they're always kind to her, like Joe Louie. And the manager kristen thank you guys for your kindness. And being nice to my mom, God bless. We love coming here to shop and donating money at the same time.”
“I enjoy this GW! Everyone is always friendly in my experience! Cathy is my fav! My only negative is why they started to put the stickers on the bottom of items often covering up the brand name. Especially for vintage/antiques. That’s how you end up with half peeled off prices…we need to see the brand name.
Prices could be a little cheaper, but better than others I’ve frequented!”
“Always find some good items. Whether it be a set of speakers, a lamp, or even a good book. Support your local goodwill and round up when checking out because we need to support the men and women who sort and organize our 2nd hand finds that are worth more than what they are sold for in some cases.”

“Contrary to the negative perception of this location, I thought the prices were reasonable for the quality of the clothes. I got a Forever 21 denim skirt with no tears/damage for 5$ - just make sure to wash the clothes after purchasing and wash your hands as well - but if you are buying clothes, remember to look at the seams and any zippers, etc.”
“Went to this Goodwill store first time on Friday with my daughter and we loved it. Employees were friendly could be a little more proactive (training 101) but my sales rep was awesome and she offered me a rewards card to use for future items. It was nice to see that 'Everything had a place, and a Place for everything' nothing on the floors. However, I do suggest they keep a close eye on some of the clothing on the racks that have threadingloose some were torn seems like from hangers or mishandled from customers and those items should be removed. It is good to see that you show the quality and care for what you display and sale in your store because, it's the first and last impression of the day that can make an impact on your customers. I visit this store again.”
