“Been coming here a while and always find something I need. I think I spent half my time talking with Cheryl (hope I spelled it correctly) the cashier. Definitely a very friendly lady and made my visit much better.”
“Found so much stuff, I'm definitely going back for an entire day soon. I have never seen something so laid out and organized. It's like the perfect storm of antiques and collectibles...”
“Stephanie was amazing! She listened to what my daughter wanted. She reassured us, made it easy to pick the perfect dress for my baby girl's Sweet 15... next week! I am so impressed by her service and will forever refer and recommend her and this location!”
“I love thrift shopping, so while I was in the area for a disc golf tournament at Brewer Park, I searched for thrift stores in Grand Rapids. Elevated caught my eye with its intriguing name, and it did not disappoint. The place is much bigger than I expected, and everything is thoughtfully arranged. I had a fantastic time exploring—it's a true thrifting adventure with just the right mix of quirky items like creepy baby dolls, disco balls, books, and offerings from local vendors. I'll definitely be back with my thrifting friend the next time we're in town for a disc golf tournament. I found some great pieces at good prices that I'm excited to refurbish.
GO HERE IF YOU LOVE VINTAGE SHOPPING. #1 on the list in the area.”
“This is one of the neatest place that I have ever been in.what you,,migbt be looking for from days gone by, is more than likely there. And tim the owner; go out of his way to make sure that your time. Is well spent in his little store. If you went in being ok you will be smiling when you come out.”
“I've been a happy customer (shopping and consigning) from the beginning and my big kids still love to shop here! The organization and selection is top notch.”
“Flashback is such an awesome spot! They have a great variety of clothes and the prices are unbeatable. Even better than the clothing is the owner, Peri. She is such a kind soul and a very giving person. You can tell how much she cares for her community and those around her! She is so easy to talk to and has great recommendations for other vintage spots to check out! Flashback is my new favorite shop!”
“I had a neighbor who moved into my apt. building and had no furniture. I could not believe how friendly and warm the owner was, and gave us a discount on a sofa she was selling, and chair and table. It really helped us to be able to find a few pieces for her. They also helped move the couch and furniture into the van. Such a nice place and good people to help.”
“I’m not going to dock stars just because I personally think prices are sky high; obviously there are a few guys willing to pay them and someone behind the scenes is trying to make it in a tough biz. But $50 for nothing-special sweatshirts and $40 and up denim (which feels like 1/2 the store), I don’t understand this store at all. $80 for some basic Lands End type coat was just mind numbing.
The couple times I’ve tried shopping here, not once have I bought anything. Just 20 reviews in 2+ years being open lends credence to that. I will say it is a beautiful, intimate store that’s well organized; and there are some cool pieces especially if you’re into any Detroit teams/local collegiate.”
“Really cute place, small but had great items, bought a couple dresses quite unlike any of my other dresses. Great prices, great selection, great staff. My only thing is the mannequin by the changing room makes it hard to close the curtain without a gap.”
“Unfortunately I find that items are overpriced compared to other consignment shops in the area and there are no returns which is unfortunate considering other consignments do offer returns. On my last visit I found a dress with the original tag still on, the original store had marked it on sale with a sale price of $55 and urban exchange was asking $104.It’s a bummer that folks are asked to set beverages down while shopping, not a great customer experience especially when located a few doors down from a local cafe and I love to sip while I brows.”
“A really, really neat little vintage store that has a lot of really, really nice items. From men and womens clothing, to jewelery, purses and more. I took my wife here for her birthday and she picked out a set of earrings and a ring. She loves it!”
“Great place to find bargains. They are having a clothing sale off their already low price. And unlike bigger thrift stores, I trust my money is going to help others and not going in the CEO bank account. I don't get to this part of town but when I do, I find treasures! I love thrifting especially at this location. If you are in the area, stop in”
“I tend to see some reviews where they have said they “witnessed” the buyers just opening a bag and not looking through it. I’d like to say from work and customer experience. Buyers go through a whole training process where they are made to treat every bag with respect and to go through it thoroughly. You may not be happy that they didn’t take your “new” shoes but there’s many reasons behind their decisions made. Dont take your frustration out of young girls who didn’t buy your clothes? if you need money that bad just work.”
“Clean store, but prices are high. Staff is friendly, items are categorized nicely. Overall, good location, just not my top location to visit, but would visit again.”
