In April 2024, Ten Thousand Villages Evanston relocated to a new storefront at 1509 Chicago Ave (just a few blocks North of 915 Chicago Ave). This move helps us establish a more sustainable, long term home for fair trade in Evanston. Ten Thousand Villages Evanston is a nonprofit, fair trade retailer established in May 1997.

We carry a wide variety of ethical goods and gifts - including unique home decor, jewelry, fair trade apparel, games, kids’ toys, soaps, coffee, tea, chocolate & more
