I was visiting friends in the Quad Cities and had the pleasure of stopping in to check this place…read moreout - what a find!! This place is awesome! I'm not an antique store type of person. I'm not a big fan of shopping really but I do like checking out furniture and unusual items. I could spend hours here and the best part is that everything is displayed so nicely, no digging through mysterious piles to locate something worthwhile. You actually feel as though you can see everything and think about how you might like to use it in your own space. The amount of art and re-purposed items is amazing. And I've never seen so many cool vintage items (the kind of treasures that your friends tell you about after they've spent hours combing through the back of some dusty old thrift store that you would not even walk by, let alone enter). This place is a treasure itself - a refurbished funeral home with just the right amount of abstract art and unique pieces that peak your curiosity and make you want to return to see if that vanity you had your eye on last time you were in sold...or find an unusual gift for that cousin that likes odd designed, yet functional kitchen items. Quad City residents...stop by once and you'll be hooked. If you're from the surrounding area (or nearby states)...make a monthly pilgrimage to see what's new...well worth the trip! I only wish I lived closer.

Great service with a variety of products for the serious hobbyist: Models, trains, rocketry, slot cars, radio control, art supplies, tools, paints and more. They also have an integrated framing and craft center next door. Static Salon is right next door and there are lots of restaurants and other small shops near by to make a day out of it.

i had been here as a kid several times, decades ago. Seemed like a good store…read more i went in again at the height of COVID, and no employees bothered wearing a mask. i even asked about that and only got a shrug. okay, so they can have their MAGA like views, as undefensible as they are from a public health POV. But i cant think of a more obvious "screw you" and self-centered attitude, which advertised that their ignorance or arrogance outweighed customer safety or comfort. They made their political statement, so whoopie! for them. I wont support that crappy attitude toward customers (most arent in the Cult).

The checkout gal, Mango, was way more interested in her phone than trying to help us locate the item. When we checked out after finding the item (with the wonderful help from another employee in a different area) we were fortunate enough to go through Mango's line again. She was apologetic when she realized who was at her register. Unfortunately she, again, was more interested in her phone instead of making sure my rewards card, coupon, and voucher were scanning and applied correctly. Extremely poor customer service,

I visited SIS International the day after a concert at the Redstone Room, and was instantly charmed…read moreby the shop. It's not a huge place, but it is *packed* floor to ceiling with nifty goodies from around the world. I was really impressed by the range and quality of merchandise, and along with that the price range. One expects to pay a premium for fair trade, hand-made, and artisan products. SIS isn't exactly an exception - things aren't cheap here - but the prices are very reasonable and you get good value for your money, especially considering that your purchases support decent standards of living for the people who make the merchandise. I bought some candles and soaps for a birthday present, but it was hard to choose. There were a lot of kitchen items that were tempting, figurines and knick-knacks that were actually really cool, a lot of fabric items, and even a few musical instruments. The amount of quality stuff here is really impressive, and I'd bet you could find something for almost anyone. Moreover, I had a lovely chat with the owner. Her enthusiasm for her work, and her store, and for helping people find something unique was evident. This made the experience even better. I definitely will be back next time I'm in the area.
