I stopped in to UFS with my father in-law. He and I like to indulge in craft brews when I come to…read moreIllinois to visit. UFS, is located in an older area of Peoria and includes 2 different buildings located across the street from one another. One building houses furniture and the other building carries all of the other general retail and house ware items. You wouldn't expect a store like this to have an outstanding beer selection, but I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised at the wide variety of beer that they carry. Even more surprising is their low prices. They undercut prices from other beer retailers by at least $1.00 per six pack of craft beer. I picked up several 6 packs that I'd never seen before and took them back to Tennessee with me. I'll definitely be returning during my next visit to the Peoria area. On a side note: they often have beer tastings here. During our visit, they were giving out free samples of Bridgeport beer. Check your local listings for details.

If you are an old UFS shopper. You may be very disappointed with the new style of the store. A lot…read moreof liquor ( with great prices) back 1/3 of store furniture /appliances and the sm area left is the aisles of merch. All very organized and faced. Nothing unique or 1 off items. No holiday gift bags etc Approximately 10 handbags no jewelry displays. I felt like I was shopping a UFS that is trying to reinvent itself. I wish them lots of luck they are a great group of employees who have been with this store a long time. So drop the merch and refocus on only alcohol and furniture.

We were needing a day out and decided to go to the mall. The mall had some very unique stores and…read moresome vintage store that I had not been to in a while. I ventured into the arcade and found a skeet-ball machine. It brought back memories of a time from my past. Please give this mall a try, businesses need us to venture back to the mall!

I remember when this Mall was one of the best around.. I worked at Coach House Gifts in the mid…read more90's and back then, this Mall had it all.. Now it's trashy, and ghetto-fied.. You seriously sometimes want to "carry" going in there.. Oh wait, the thugs do that already.. Poor Security, stores are leaving left and right.. The Round One is a joke.. Which is sad, because that really is a nice place.. This really is the ghetto mall of Peoria..

I received a final notice from the States Attorney's office regarding my complaint against Castaway…read moreConsignment. The owner never replied to any communication from the State's Attorney's office. The recommendation is for ANYONE who has been a victim of fraud from this business to file a complaint so the State can gather enough evidence to investigate. Filing a small claims lawsuit is not possible due to it being her word against mine regarding what items actually sold. Given the complaints from the Facebook page (she conveniently removed) and the others who have reached out via FB messanger this store contiunes to steal from consignors.

Runnings is built on the same concept but taken to a new level. The selection is not only vast but presented in an organized manner.

I've been to the sporting goods section on 3 separate occasions and each visit was more tragic than…read morethe last. First off, nobody is monitoring the area; you have to page someone to come help, and whether the store is busy or not, it takes someone at least 15 minutes to get there. God forbid someone wants to purchase a firearm because multi-tasking is a foreign concept. If you've got a couple people just wanting to pick up ammo, that should be a no-brainer, get those folks serviced quickly, especially when you know the firearm purchase application takes 30+ minutes to complete. That place is going to last about as long as every other place that was in that location before it.

I just happened upon a truck show where they had 3 & 4 mm thunder polish crystals as well as rondells on sale. They also carry the mesh wire that is becoming so popular for making bracelets. If you are one who likes to have all the colors put together for you to make a project, they also have a large selection of kits with all of your supplies and you can just start beading your project. So if you're looking for beads and in the area Morton, IL make sure you check them out. This is not a place to miss!

Simply amazing! Ran in here with my niece to pick something up for my mother-in-law. Once we got…read morein, we were both in hog heaven! It happened to be my niece's 6th birthday so I let her make a necklace. The people working were so wonderful and knowledgeable in helping her create her masterpiece. Some places like this do not like kids in their store but here they really treated her like an actual person who mattered not like a child who was going to break everything she touched. It seemed as if she was the most important person in the store. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. I just wish we didn't live out of state or We'd be frequenting way more often!!!
