    I've been to Elevated several times now and have really enjoyed my experiences there. I don't…read morealways love antique markets/warehouses as they can be quite congested and claustrophobic - not Elevated! The aisles are wide, the booths are nicely appointed, and there is lots of great natural light from all the windows. I love that they are arranged by "streets" with numbers for each booth, making it easy to remember where you saw something. There are lots of fun things to check out - I love the reading room that also features art from local artists. They have the ability to rent a shelf vs. a whole booth, which I thought was really cool. Possibly the best part - the free popcorn! I also really like the fun decor like the board game wall. Parking is ample on the street in front or the free lot across the street. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Elevated.

    September 6th is their official Grand Opening but they are open to the public NOW. My father and I…read moreheard about this reinvented warehouse thrift/furniture store that opened and had to check it out. With parking directly in front of across the street both free of charge. The entrance was a little tricky to navigate. There was a colorful toy/deco arch far off to the left that we went to only to read a note that said Elevated entrance with and arrow pointing to the right. So we turned around and headed to what looked like an office building entrance but once we opened the door there was a black sign with a white E and an arrow to the right with a open door. At the entrance is an old school telephone booth, with either an elevator (ring the bell for service) or stairs. The stairs were super easy to navigate and we were at the top on no time. The minute we walked through the door there is this cool vibe that permeates throughout the establishment. The way the booths are spaced, decorated, and displayed was very unique giving me lots of space to move about and enjoy the thrift experience. I really enjoyed the use of game boards and how they decorated the walls. I plan on using that idea somewhere in my future. There were many items available from jewelry, dishes, clothing, furniture and list goes on. The air was moving with open windows and fans. Also there are four large dressing rooms available that are spacious and clean. We had the opportunity to speak with one of the proprietors of the establishment Heather. Getting her feedback on the space, wanting to create a unique shopping experience for the community melted my heart. Loved they provided free popcorn and all the time not feeling rushed giving the opportunity to enjoy and possibly find a hidden gem. We walked away with some cooking items and stickers but there was a VERY close call on an antique display cabinet that we are still considering going back for. Great value for all of it. Highly recommend to stop in especially September 6th!

    Thrift stores are a hit and miss. This was is a definite HIT! It's a labyrinth of rooms displayed…read morenicely giving a lot to take in but not feeling overwhelmed. There is a decent size parking lot outside, and a very simple store front but when you walk into the blue sea and smiling staff welcome you. There are bathrooms throughout the facility that are well stocked, clean and taken care of. The selection of items varies as every thrift store does. You will definitely walk away with something when you stop here. Today is Wednesday and although the site says 6pm they are open until 8pm. They take cash, and credit cards for purchased and will hold items as needed to allow you to continue to shop. This place also offers for purchase water, pop (soda), Pringles, assortment of candies and snacks to keep you going because when you get here you will be here for a while. I felt very comfortable being here, walking amoung the items and I teracting with the staff. Highly recommend.

    The Wally's on 28th St is much better. This one is in a building with a strange layout that's hard…read moreto follow, and it seems like most of the booths have the sort of things you find if you go to Goodwill or Salvation Army. There are booth that are loaded with VHS tapes, others with Beanie Babies, others just random, used books and miscellaneous "stuff." Not great. Not a lot of antiques. People working there weren't particularly friendly.

    I'm not typically one to write reviews, but I've had the strangest experience with OfficeMax/Depot…read moreand I'm still very confused. This all started on a Thursday morning, when I ordered two booklets to be picked up same-day at the Alpine location. I never received the email telling me my order was complete that day, which was odd because I ordered for same-day, but whatever, things happen. The next day, Friday, I get an email saying my two booklets are ready for pickup. I drive about 20 minutes to the store, park, and see there's a sign on the door that says "closed due to technical issues until further notice". Well that's odd because they just told me my order was ready for pickup! But again, things happen, hopefully they'll reopen soon and I can get my order. Friday evening, I call the store. The automated message says the store is open, but just to be sure I press the 2 to connect to the print dept. No answer. Saturday morning, I do the same thing. No answer. This order is important to me and I wasn't anticipating waiting a couple days longer than planned, so I message customer service and they basically told me I'd have to handle it with the store. Well, not sure how I can do that when they're apparently closed until further notice, but great I'll keep waiting. Saturday night, I call, the automated voice still says they are open but then I can't connect to anyone. Sunday morning, same process, no luck. I decide to message customer service again, because perhaps the store has suddenly permanently closed. I chat with someone who tells me the store is open and kindly gives me their hours. Okay. I assume they must have reopened and are just not answering their phone. After all, they must be busy following an unexpected closure. I drive to the store again, 20 minutes. The sign is still on the door, they are still closed. I am beyond confused. Do the two people I spoke to in customer service not know an entire store has temporarily shut down for three days at this point? Why can no one tell me the store is closed when it clearly is? I've since been able to get in touch with a third person at customer service who was able to cancel the order and get it shipped to me instead, which is not ideal because I really needed same-day pickup and will now not get my order until next Friday, over a week from my original order date. To reiterate, I am not upset that the store closed because I understand things happen. It's that this was meant to be a same-day pickup, and here I am four days later without the two booklets I paid over $100 for while they sit on a shelf in the store, with no idea when I can pick them up. And the lack of knowledge from customer service about a multi-day closure is just odd. The automated message when you call the store is also incredibly misleading, because it says they are OPEN. I'm just confused at their whole process, and annoyed that my order is technically ready and waiting on a shelf, but now I have to wait over a week while no one has communicated anything with me at all or given a correct answer in regards to their store being closed. I actually worked at this store as a teenager about 15 years ago and I loved it, so there was still some lingering loyalty. No longer. I think if a store closes unexpectedly, then customer service/corporate should be alerted immediately and someone should reach out to anyone who had an order in process with the store to find an alternative solution, or at least let them know they'll have to wait to pick up their order. Or even a generic email! Something, anything. This has been so, so weird.
