“This store is absolutely gorgeous! Inventory is amazing, prices are awesome and staff is super friendly. My go-to place for great finds! Highly recommend if you are furnishing a home or just redecorating. If you want to sell furniture or decor, their consignment process is super easy too.”
“Best plus size resale store. The owner, besides being beautiful inside and out, changed my way of wearing clothes I never would have picked out for myself. ❤️”
“I’ve been coming here since high school and now I have high schoolers. This place is always a delight with friendly staff and wonderful items. It’s a hidden gem.”
“I love coming here!!! I’ve been a loyal customer of Julie since before COVID, and there’s a reason why! So many awesome gifts, if you’ve got a person with niche interests, Gather and Collect has the gift for them! Also love shopping the resale items, overall a great place to be!”
“I had the most fun here! I found a some gifts, something very special and a couple of things just for me. The sales gal, Julia was especially kind! Here a few snaps of what took my breath away!”
“Such a lovely shop with so many varieties of items. The ladies that work there are so friendly and kind. That in itself was an absolute pleasure. I’m excited to return.”
“This is a great thrift in a great little downtown area in Glen Ellyn. Lots of great, higher-end decorations and homewares that you don't see in other thrift stores. They had some smaller pieces of furniture like chairs and coffee tables that all looked in great condition. In the back of the store there are racks of nice clothing. I didn't see anything that was dirty, smelled, torn, or damaged.”
“A sizeable Goodwill location; some of the housewares were very disorganized, other areas were better. Lots of clothes, and there are dressing rooms to try things on. Watch for the sticker color of the week that is half off! Found some clothing and home goods here”
“First time visiting here with my adult daughter. This is by far the best resale shop I’ve been to. Everything is organized so well, clean and prices are very reasonable. I have a trunk full of items I will be donating knowing they will be able to use them. Daughter bought a couple of items too.”
“Once Upon a Child is an amazing store for parents looking to buy or sell gently used children’s items. The selection here is fantastic—they offer a wide variety of kids’ clothing, toys, shoes, and baby gear, all in excellent condition and at a fraction of the cost of buying new. It’s a perfect spot to find quality items without breaking the bank, and the inventory is constantly rotating, so there’s always something new to discover.
The store is well-organized, making it easy to browse by size, season, or item type. I was impressed by how clean everything was, and the staff clearly takes the time to ensure that only the best products make it to the shelves.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they make the buying and selling process incredibly smooth. If you’re selling, they inspect items thoroughly but fairly and offer reasonable prices based on condition and demand. It’s a great way to declutter while getting some value back for things your kids have outgrown.
One thing I love about Once Upon a Child is that it’s both eco-friendly and budget-friendly. You’re not only saving money but also contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle by reusing high-quality items.
Whether you’re looking for great deals on kids’ essentials or trying to offload gently used clothes and toys, Once Upon a Child is a fantastic option. Highly recommend for parents and caregivers!”
“5 stars. The poor reviews and experiences are very shocking to read because I've only had pleasant experiences with this shop and its owner over the years. I began shopping & consigning here over ten years ago. I found the experience to be convenient and extremely helpful. Catrina has great style and can find pieces that will complement your shape and aesthetic. Some of my favorite pieces were amazing finds from this shop. My fur was a GREAT deal! Several purses and accessories. Dresses and special occasion wear, too. I will say that she is very selective when selecting piece to consign and I appreciate that. I prefer to shop high quality items versus a high quantity of items. I appreciate that she will try and sell items on eBay as well as in the store to increase the odds of sale. She's always been great about supporting community efforts and has a philanthropic spirit around certain causes. If you didn't have a pleasant encounter with this store, I encourage you to return and share what wasn't to your liking. An honest conversation and an open heart can make a huge difference. I will continue to support this local shop whenever I can.”
“I have been going to this store for years! I always find something while shopping. They have beautiful clothes, some with the tags still on, brand new. The prices are so reasonable, I honestly won’t shop anywhere else for clothes.
The manager, Mandy is super friendly, yet professional, welcoming and knowledgeable. She always makes it a pleasant experience when I shop.
The rest of the staff are friendly and helpful as well.
I would highly recommend shopping at this store. It’s a little hidden gem that is worth checking out!”
“Doing the most good,
not giving $100k to district managers and Millions to CEOs as Geed-Will does
Blessing others is a great way to receive a blessing. If love doesn't cost you something, is it really love? ?”
“Went to Plato’s last week just to browse. Luckily the associate, Anna, was there to help! She was awesome. She helped me find items in my size and styles that fit me best! I will be going again. Thanks Anna :)”
“I've enjoyed coming in to this spot the past few years. There's always interesting finds and the staff is super chill and easy to talk to. Last time I was bringing in clothes and Catherine was super helpful throughout the whole interaction. Even when I was sure there wasn't a lot of stuff in my size, she helped me find some really cool pants and Old Skool Vans. Will for sure continue to support this location ?”
“BROOO I drove 20 min in heavy traffic to shop here and they were closed at 1pm when the website says open. They are so reliable it’s crazyEdit: I actually had no idea my bad. Hope it didn’t burn down the clothes so I can shop later”

“I love Frocks and Frills! The owner is so kind and you can tell all the hard work she puts into the shop. All of the vintage clothing is measured and organized by measurements which is a game changer for shopping vintage, I was even measured in store to make it an easier shopping experience! Overall, this store is a treasure trove of vintage and definitely a must stop every time I visit Wheaton!”
