“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I can't believe the amazing finds in here! If you're into vintage clothing, dishes, silverware, knickknacks or whatever, it's like a treasure hunt! The thing is you will definitely find treasure every time!”
“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.”
“Had an emergency come up and needed a used tire ASAP! called Aztex and they had the tire, put it on and had me on my way within 30 mins. Staff was great, and prices were definitely competitive with surrounding area. ENJOY YO!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“A small but unique store. I have stopped by several times. Each time I go, the store has completely changed. I always find something to buy. The owner is very friendly and I enjoy stopping there to see what treasures I might need.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”

“The staff is friendly and helpful. I fortunately visited during 25% sales and in my size find great deals. It's crowded usually during those sales so keep that in mind. They are closed on specific days so plan accordingly.”
“I had great luck here today, 3 items tried/3 items purchased. Prices were higher here than some other thrift stores, but nice stuff. They take Venmo, cash or check but no credit cards. But look out for the non-private changing room, lol. I was in there in my skivvies and someone came in -- I called out around the screen that the room was occupied -- she kept coming! I protested that I was trying on clothes, she said in an aggravated tone, "Yes, I want to, too." When I was checking out I asked about it and they said, yes, women are expected to share a common changing space, but I was assured that men were not allowed in when women were in there. Well I should say.”
“We have found a few things here over the years. Most recently a tall free standing cabinet with shelves we are using as a kitchen/snack pantry. Love the curation at Lucille!”
“I saw this place randomly as I drove by, and decided to stop. Extremely glad I did. I found a really nice jacket, and a bunch of little stuff to give as additional Christmas gifts. The folks at the desk were helpful and engaging, and even random customers started conversation and gave advise. Saved in my favorites, I will be back in the new year!”
“I go to a lot of thrift stores and this one is the neatest I have ever been in it is clean it is organized and very easy to shop prices are okay but it's worth paying a little bit more to be able to see everything that's available and having everything in its place”
“This was one of my favorite locations but these days there is a short woman who works there whose behavior is completely out of control (anyone else who works there or shops there regularly knows exactly who I’m talking about). She is overly nice to some customers but then randomly VERY mean to others, yelling at them about things they’re not doing and coming up to customers and constantly bothering them. She’s impossible to avoid because her voice resonates across the store and she runs around getting involved in everyone’s business. I have heard many other employees complaining about her on several occasions. I’m sure I’m not the only customer who has been harassed or bothered by her. Her behavior makes me so uncomfortable that I have literally stopped coming here because she ruins the experience. I feel bad for this woman because I know she obviously has special needs but her behavior is unacceptable to the customers. I never write reviews or complain but she is really that bad!”
“Fun place to spend some time walking around hunting for unique items. You don’t come here looking for something, the store tells you what you need! Found an awesome solid oak coat rack with an old “Property of Cook County” tag on it, and a cool newspaper clipping from the old Rock Island Railway. Deb knew exactly where this piece was hanging up and the story behind it, makes it that much cooler. Would love to see some of the slower moving (kitchen/commercial/restaurant) items cleared out and the boxed items displayed or made more visible. I’m sure there’s some real treasures hiding in this place.”
“Very friendly staff . I brought a donate by today in my big truck and I was impressed how friendly the staff and volunteers were to me ! God bless y’all and the service you do for your community! Live, laugh and love others Unconditionally! First Corinthians chapter 13 words to live by always!”
