“Love this place! I will never not stop by here whenever I am in the neighborhood. Found our gorgeous Victorian dining table here! Highly recommend. And the low prices are a bonus!”

2517 W 59th St, Chicago“The entire "Staff" was a "Blessing" to me and my coworker. I just brought her and found so much for myself. They are "All of that (thid) and some. I will be back. A Beautiful selection of items.”
“really cute little place. they have tons of vintage clothes that are organized by color. i found lots of things that you don’t see most places. there are lots of knick knacks packed in, as well.”
“So clean, organized, and cheap. They receive donations and really are giving back to those who need support. They even had a food pantry available. Good job. ??♀️??”
“I was impressed with the unusual mostly vintage furnishings. The quality of fabrics and workmanship of the clothing and accessories was magnificent. I bought an assortment of incense on this first visit (unplanned) as I tried not to take home pieces I didn't have space to house. The service was welcoming and friendly. I'll visit again and again.”

305 W Hillgrove Ave, La Grange“Years a go received their help with dignify and emphatic. Pillars is wonderfull and this store good complement.Thanks so much I hope be there soon.Congratulations”
“It's genuinely one of the better thrift shops. Why? Prices. The pricing is fantastic. Yes this place supports a charity, but they also aren't trying to gauge me for a used item with no return policy. I wish people would stop paying higher prices to other places that are charity driven. Because this model works. They get plenty of donations, they are constantly busy, I always spend a lot of money there. Also Kevin fixes watch batteries! It's perfect.”
“To me The Brown Elephant are the best thrift shops. Much care is given to the donations. The shops are nice to visit and have a variety of things including furniture to the most small trinkets.”
“Such a great store. They have the best donors so they have lots of fantastic items to choose from. They change their displays with fresh inventory daily. Well thought window dressing. Frequent special offers. One of my favorite weekly stops to drop off my recyclie and reuse, and find new treasures. Come by, I'm confident you will return.”
“I love shopping here. There is always a good selection of women's and men's clothing and the prices are reasonable. They have clothes starting at $4 and also offer a designer collection if you are looking for something special. It truly is a Chicago treasure.”
“Always stop by here when I am in the area. One of the best thrift stores I have been too. Always clean and organized. You can go every day because there is always new stuff out!”
“Such a cool little place! I went by and the woman working there was super friendly and helpful, and was so fun to talk with. I found a cute pair of boots, belt, some craft supplies, and even a set of utensils at a great price! If you want to thrift primarily for clothes, I would say you might have a harder time (they have really unique pieces, which is awesome, but it’s just a small selection), but if you want anything else, they have such a neat selection of items. Kitchenware, jewelry, scarves, kids toys, pottery, fancy teacups, yarn, lace, buttons, and a bunch of other fun knickknacks. The awesome staff means I’ll definitely be back to check out what new stuff they have in the future!”
“So I've been there only once the workers there are really nice and friendly. They have good stuff if you take time but it's an okay place to go if your by. You can maybe find something you like!”

103 S Grove Ave, Oak Park“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.”
“This thrift store is AMAZING. They price the items fairly and it has a great selection. I wear 3X and I was able to find cute items including 2 halloween dresses (a month back) and a couple of cute long sleeve shirts. The volunteer Diamond was so helpful...Thank you Diamond! I will def be back and I highly recommend you check it out as well!”
“I've been a pretty frequent regular here for many years, but I'm thinking a *lot* of the shoppers here are too.In truth it's just a such a nice place and a lovely crew, there's too much love in my heart to not give it a good rating. I'm finding the inventory changes less and less every time I visit though, and after overhearing the selection is restocked and organized on a daily basis I've only been left to assume that close to anything that hasn't been sitting out for a while is getting nabbed up pretty competitively. Even a month or two's time they'll have out an entirely different seasonal entrance table, but so much of the rest of the store still manages to look so familiar that I'll surprise myself with how much I remember so clearly.As an avid thrifter It's been a much less frequent stop in my rotation unfortunately, but I could give it all the same praise and recommendation as these ratings I see before me have. Please do visit and support it!”

4871 95th St, Oak Lawn“friendly customer service from beginning to end! i only purchased a book this time but i’ll definitely be coming back. they have a great selection of everything.”
“I loved this place. They are very welcoming (s/o to Angela the owner) and they have something for everyone. The vibes are great here. It's also the first consignment shop on the south side of Chicago (that I know of). I highly recommend checking them out. I found some great stuff!”
“My wife & I came in and love it! No pressure, humble and very well organized. Alberto is super friendly and makes you feel welcome! If you’re in the area definitely check it out!”
“Great resale shop. Really well organized, near, clean and displayed. I'll be going back frequently. Even the books are organized, so the Captain Underpants books aren't mixed in with cooking or adult fiction. A joy to shop here!”

8354 W Foster Ave, Norridge“Nice and genuine people.Everyone is very helpful and kind. I go there on every Monday and Wednesday. It's really fun and new learnings. Hats off to their work”
“Upon first entering The Brown Elephant, you might feel that this is not your average Thrift store. In some sections, it is more organized than other stores of its kind. This store has more furniture than anything else, and the prices were a little higher than your average Thrift store. I would suggest checking in here every once in a while, as their inventory changes quickly. Also like to support this store because proceeds go to health screenings and support for the LGBTQ community”
“I call Treasures Depot the "Treasure Trove" of the Canal because of the store's unique qualities. This is the store that will redesign a home to its unique, vintage, and modern stages. When stepping into the store all you would see are endless possibilities, an array of valuable pieces for your own interior design and your unique taste. The first thing that I bought was ceramic tile for my floors.”

9AM - 7PM
9321 S Western Ave, Chicago“Always a line when I pull in. However they move quickly. If you get out no problem to give bags however I have seen vehicles in front of me where they open their trunk and the clerk takes the items out”
“I stopped by today for the first time. Nice, clean, store. Very friendly manager and unfortunately I didn't have enough time to really take a look at things because they were closing in 15 minutes but I managed to find a really pretty throw pillow. Very reasonably priced and the pillow looked new, I will be back”
“I wanted to say that being in Florida it is nice to be able to see items on Tik Tok for sale live whoever does that is very polite and goes the extra mile to show me what I am looking for. The Young lady is knowledgeable and professional she is very warm when she explains the stuff to me. You are very looking there to have suck a passionate employee that wants to help people. I hope she continues to show what you have online for us that don’t live within driving distance to your business thank you for taking the time read this.”
“Amazing store. I was able to find all the characters from Toy Story for my son’s birthday. Definitely will be coming back for all my sons action figure needs: they have Spider-Man, Batman, teenage mutant ninja turtles and soo much more! Highly recommend”
