“I love thrift shopping, so while I was in the area for a disc golf tournament at Brewer Park, I searched for thrift stores in Grand Rapids. Elevated caught my eye with its intriguing name, and it did not disappoint. The place is much bigger than I expected, and everything is thoughtfully arranged. I had a fantastic time exploring—it's a true thrifting adventure with just the right mix of quirky items like creepy baby dolls, disco balls, books, and offerings from local vendors. I'll definitely be back with my thrifting friend the next time we're in town for a disc golf tournament. I found some great pieces at good prices that I'm excited to refurbish.
GO HERE IF YOU LOVE VINTAGE SHOPPING. #1 on the list in the area.”

“Flashback is such an awesome spot! They have a great variety of clothes and the prices are unbeatable. Even better than the clothing is the owner, Peri. She is such a kind soul and a very giving person. You can tell how much she cares for her community and those around her! She is so easy to talk to and has great recommendations for other vintage spots to check out! Flashback is my new favorite shop!”

3516 Plainfield Ave NE B, Grand Rapids“We recently purchased an expanding teak dining table and 8 chairs from here. The set was beautiful on its own, but the owner Jon took it upon himself to oil the table and repair some loose joints in the chairs along with minor stain removal, leaving everything even nicer than when we first bought it. We love our dining set, it looks amazing in our dining room and we loved our experience buying from here!”
“Lovely thrift store with unique vintage finds! My mom and I dropped in while visiting Grand Rapids for the first time and Jodi was so welcoming (even gave us a few solid suggestions for lunch/dinner around town). I snagged a pair of 90s Levi's for a fair price and loved the selection of wool sweaters and t-shirts too.”
“A really, really neat little vintage store that has a lot of really, really nice items. From men and womens clothing, to jewelery, purses and more. I took my wife here for her birthday and she picked out a set of earrings and a ring. She loves it!”

145 Diamond Ave SE, Grand Rapids“Really cute place, small but had great items, bought a couple dresses quite unlike any of my other dresses. Great prices, great selection, great staff. My only thing is the mannequin by the changing room makes it hard to close the curtain without a gap.”
“Unfortunately I find that items are overpriced compared to other consignment shops in the area and there are no returns which is unfortunate considering other consignments do offer returns. On my last visit I found a dress with the original tag still on, the original store had marked it on sale with a sale price of $55 and urban exchange was asking $104.It’s a bummer that folks are asked to set beverages down while shopping, not a great customer experience especially when located a few doors down from a local cafe and I love to sip while I brows.”

4160 Plainfield Ave NE, Grand Rapids“I love this location. It's minutes from my house, always well organized and has ample parking. I really like Mason and the rest of the regular staff. Everyone is so nice and funny, with a little quirkiness that always makes for a fun chat during checkout. Please continue to price items reasonably and treat your staff and customers well! Don't change!”
“I had a neighbor who moved into my apt. building and had no furniture. I could not believe how friendly and warm the owner was, and gave us a discount on a sofa she was selling, and chair and table. It really helped us to be able to find a few pieces for her. They also helped move the couch and furniture into the van. Such a nice place and good people to help.”
“I stopped by the 4 Mile Goodwill on January 5 in a snow advisory. There were only 2 cars in the parking lot. It was a nice leisurely treasure hunting day! All the employees were rearranging things and having a nice work day. I imagine it is nice to have those days when it is not that busy to prepare for the busy days.”
“Found so much stuff, I'm definitely going back for an entire day soon. I have never seen something so laid out and organized. It's like the perfect storm of antiques and collectibles...”
