First, staff is great, very helpful, told me about the THREE buildings FULL of items/treasure. I admit, I'm coming back this week bc I need to go through all the buildings again...row after row of items in excellent shape and quite frankly, pretty good prices...they did tell me if I found an item i was unsure on price, they could call the seller...anyway, not only antiques, but much more mid century (MCM) cool items than anywhere I've seen....i ended up making a couple of purchases and have my eye on a couple more...I really enjoy the older vs new *rap they make today!!! again, I'm coming back lolol!

Couldn't even "find" the dead dog on the side of the road even with an exact location, I had to go sit with the animal until she decided she was competent enough to do her job and come to the sight that I had been at waiting. She rather worry about animals that are on their own property minding their own business, quite literally. Next time I have a stray animal or abused animal situation I will be calling elsewhere..Somewhere that actually cares about saving animals.

They had some awesome merch (I bought a postcard and sticker), and I got to meander through the aisles of cool "stuff."

I highly recommend a visit - you never know what treasure you might stumble upon!

These type of stores are notorious for that, waiting for the right buyer mentality, both endearing and slightly insane. Is there anything I personally wanted here? Not at all. Even for free? Still a no from me. Where others in my group tempted? Oh yes! The funny socks, big game fish scene, and a fashionable classic lounge chair all got attention. I understand the appeal and can easily recommend driving over from downtown Peoria to check out this junk church.

We came in October and there were so many wonderful holiday items, including these pumpkin pillows the owner made herself. We chatted with the owner for a bit and she's even getting classes started for newbies, like me, to get the hang of this craft thing. I'm pretty sure she will make any specific item you are thinking about, as well. This shop is definitely worth the visit if you like vintage items!

One of the most basic things is guest service - the beginning interaction, the overall continued guest service while they're in your shop and the lasting impression that will be the deciding factor if someone will come back or not. I brought my family in and on a slower evening, mind you there were only (2) tables with (2) ppl at each table already painting their pottery. We walk in and the two girls at the register didn't bother to make eye contact, greet us, get up off their bums and ask us how our evening was... let alone helping us get started. They were more concerned about their personal conversation than working for the money the owners are paying them. Then basically they had to pry themselves out of their seats to get us paint... still no smiles, advice or anything. While we were painting they stopped at NO tables to ask if We needed anything or had questions. They just continued their personal conversations. Correct me if I'm wrong but they're there for the guests, not themselves. I can only hope they're better than that otherwise ownership really needs to take a closer look at who they let run their business. This is the first time and last time we will come back after spending almost $200 that night. It has a lot of potential to be a fun place to come and hangout but with employees like that, it was a turnoff immediately. I would've immediately turned around and walked out if it wasn't for me coming into town for a week to specifically spend time with my family while I was in town for a short time. But I was embarrassed I brought them there and we were treated or should I say ignored almost the entire Time we were there. When they wrapped up our session, again there was no smiling, zero personality and no cause to want to come back and spend more money. Debating if 2 stars is too much. Disappointing...
