Thrift Stores in McHenry, IL

“We shop here a lot, weekly almost. Sometimes they will have some good finds. Often I leave empty handed. We have bought furniture from here at decent prices. Some kitchen stuff. A dress or two. Lately I feel like they could have more inventory, I don’t think it’s because they aren’t getting enough donations, I think it might be because they are a bit picky and refuse a lot of stuff or simply throw stuff away. I mean put it out there and see if it sells!
I bought a table set there, it was a bit raggedy, it only had three chairs. I re upholstered it. Tried to donate it back months later and they wouldn’t take it cuz it only had three chairs…. I bought it from y’all with three chairs! And I made it better with new fabric! Any ways, I took it to the pink door across the street. Meanwhile they had some funky, busted shelves, nails sticking out on all sides. Those needed to go in the trash!”

“This is easily one of the BEST thrift shops I’ve ever been to! Quality items at a great price. Lovely atmosphere and welcoming staff. Wide selection of newer and older things. Great sales. Proud to have this store near me in McHenry”

“Absolutely love having this store so close! When I moved into my new home and started reburbishing it, I found some gorgeous brand new furniture at an absolute steal at Restore.”

“I love coming to this good will, everything is clean and the staff are really nice. I always tend to find things that are really interesting and/or useful. Though I especially love looking through their movies, as they have such a large amount, that it ends up being an adventure of its own. While I tend not to and come out for the sole purpose of going to goodwill if I am in the area I will definitely stop by.”

“I've been shopping at this place for years and I can say that it improved quite a lot. It's better organized and cleaner. They obviously listen to customer complaints. It's true that there's still no fitting rooms or public bathrooms but I assume it might be a budget and shortage of staff issue. It is also true that their prices are higher than the local Goodwills but they are lower than Saver's. Either way is a good place to shop. You never know where and when you're gonna find your next treasure. Another thing that I want to point out is if they would be a bit more selective about the stuff they put on the floor: I found items that were either stained, ripped or smelly. Being more selective would reduce the clutter on the floor and improve customer flow.”
