Department Stores in Ypsilanti, MI

“Down along the brick streets of quirky old Ypsi,

Where the Huron rolls by and the coffee hits tipsy,

There’s a weathered wood door with a brass bell that rings,

Opening up to an ocean of odd, lovely things.

You can dig through the racks full of vintage corduroy,

Find a scratched vinyl classic that sparks instant joy.

There are mismatched teacups, brass mirrors, and prints,

Woolly oversized sweaters in faded bright tints.

Every shelf holds a story, a relic, a spark,

From a cool leather jacket to art in the dark.

It’s the thrill of the hunt and the joy of the find,

Leaving brand-new and boring completely behind.

With a five-dollar tag and a whole lot of soul,

You walk out with a piece that makes everything whole.

Just a gem of a shop with a warm local heart,

Where the secondhand wonders get brand-new starts.”

“Sarah, manger at customer service as well as desk staff helped me fix a $500 issue involving meijer on zeeb rd and an apple gift card..
I just want to make sure they are recognized for doing their job ☺”

“Really great place. Very clean and organized and the cashiers are super friendly and fast. My family, friends and I are there regularly and it’s the same atmosphere every-time. Their selection of beauty, purses and women’s clothing and girls clothing is voluminous.”

“I came in to find Hanukkah stuff and other things. Ezekiel was kind enough to show me where the items were. I noticed every time I come in he has a smile on his face and always happy to help customers. He’s always working and making sure customers are happy. The Hanukkah stuff was all the way in the back in an area I’d probably miss so he definitely made my holiday! If it wasn’t for him I’d have gone to another store. I am writing this not just because he helped me find some stuff but because he is a breath of fresh air when it comes to shopping. There are so many workers in this country who just show up and don’t care about the customers. I am a DoorDash driver so I deal with a lot of people so seeing his kindness and smile made him stand out in a good way.”
