So that said, there are two things that are reviewable at such a store; people and presentation. Forest Park Emporium did well on both points. I went there looking for a handbell and found one after maybe ten minutes. But the guy who was overseeing the store kept looking and actually found one that was more suitable for my needs. As for presentation, I strolled through most of the "booths" there and they were all pretty clean and in good order. Much easier to shop and look for things in a store like this. This was my 2nd or 3rd visit and I'll be back again I'm sure!

It's a small store with a wonderful selection of books perfect for every book worm. The prices are incredibly low and they are supportive of local artists. I was so pleased to see a father with two kids in shopping. It added to the warmth of the place and the neighborhood feel. Don couldn't have been nicer. He introduced himself to his customers and I had the luck of having time to have a nice conversation about the ever growing stack of books in my house. I am so glad I can walk to this store. It is exactly what this neighborhood needed. This store is what the Oak Park Arts District is all about.

Almost any volunteer is wonderful & very friendly & kind. But today I encountered such a rude witch! I am very mellow & I bought alot as everything in the store was half off. Well, I bought so much & when I went to pay there was a beautiful black lady working the register & she is so kind & cheerful. But the woman bagging my items had a very mean attitude. She jumped on me because I removed the hangers. She demanded to know what I did with them. I told her I put the hangers on a rack. She went off on me! It took me by surprise because as I mentioned usually all the volunteers are super nice. This lady has a lousy attitude. She also told the nice clerk the wrong prices. Everything was half off & that nice lady had to correct it. The mean lady proceeded to rag on & on about how now she has to get all the hangers I hung up! I did tell her I am sorry I did not know it was so important to her. But she just acted like a jerk. I never had this experience with anyone there. The baskets are very small & I was shocked this jerk would get on me like this. I remove the hangers to make room for what I buy. She was totally out of line. I posted this on their page & I seen it was removed! Don't they care if someone is out of control working at the store? If I see her again I will not put up with her or just not reply at all. It is hard enough in this world without fools like this around. I spent $64 over there & you would think my business would be appreciated. I have shopped at other thrift & resale stores & always am treated with kindness. This lady should not volunteer if she has such a sour attitude. It is a good store but avoid the small blond with greying hair. I am 68 & do not act so crabby like her. Who ever is in charge talk to this fool & tell her to treat customers with kindness or hit the road. I am sure they can find volunteers who are nice.

Some things are new, others are damaged or out of the package. Each day has a different set price. I went on Tuesday when everything was $1.00. I found a few good items which made the experience fun.

This Store is like any other "outlet" type store you can think of except that they also have "Home…read moreGoods" inside. It's a huge store and they have almost anything you can think of. They have furniture, shoes, makeup, active wear and even snacks. I saw some some really high end makeup (Nars) after digging for a while. But the price made me blink uncontrollably. So I put it down and slowly backed away. I could have sworn this was an outlet store. The customer service here is ok, I haven't had any issues or problems. The cashier that helped me was really nice and pleasant. I was able to find a few things on clearance which is nice but I do wish they had all the clearance items in one area instead of randomly placed or "hidden" throughout the store. It was really hard to find clearance items as compared to other stores that have an area you can rummage through with a BIG Sign that says clearance. The store wasn't as organized as I expected it to be, at least the makeup/cosmetic and skin care area wasn't. It was badly unorganized. But I'm sure some of the customers had a lot to do with that, or maybe they didn't I don't know :D I would definitely go here again if I NEED to but their prices aren't that low compared to other places. I saw purses for over $100 dollars, makeup for [insert high amount here] and so many other insane prices for this store to be an outlet store. Overall it's a pretty cool place to check out if your looking to save a few bucks, if you're lucky! Defintely check them out at least once!
