The chick working the register just refused to give me back my bags even though I clearly described what was in them. They make you check in your bags and give you a sticker- I lost the sticker . Big whoop. I had to go and find the sales associate who took my bags to begin with so she could give me my bags. I get it- it's a security measure but how can I even prove it's my bag if you're holding my bag/ wallet/ ID behind the counter?? Then to top things off when I'm going to purchase my items (considering I now have my wallet) the girl literally throws my things in a bag by sliding it off the counter into the bag. She didn't even bother to fold them and put them in the bag like any customer service/ sales associate would do. This place needs a new system or to upgrade to getting some security cameras if they're going to be THAT particular and paranoid. Last time I checked I don't look like a homeless vagrant. Despicable service. read more

I love Ragstock and have been coming here since junior high. They have great vintage items (i.e. t-shirts, etc) but most of their high quality vintage stuff are NOT for sale. You can find them around the cash register. The place is hidden and off of Belmont Ave. There is a big long sign on Belmont so you can find the store. It's in the same building at Hollywood Mirror and you'll find the door off the alley and then go up the stairs. Anyways, they have lots of random clothes here and it's fun to look through. If you need cheap sunglasses, tanks, sweats, going out clothes, come here. It's new clothes (but they do have a used clothes section) and everything is pretty cheap. I got the cutest panda bear sweatshirt for only $7! And a super cute wallet for $8. I didn't give it more stars because the staff are EXTREMELY rude and not helpful. My friend wanted this shirt that was on a manican so when we were checking out, she asked where she can find it. And the girl said that they didn't sell it anymore so then I asked if my friend could take it off the manicin. And she said no really rudely and then I muttered, why put things on the manicins if you don't even sell the item. Ugh so freakn annoying!!! The workers there are stupid!!! Oh and after you try on clothes, you're supposed to put everything back on the rack. Yeah I didn't do that. read more

"Don't be fooled by the title, you can get some quality stuff at this vintage clothing store. Whether you're looking for that special Bill's 42nd Birthday Bash t-shirt or a crazy outfit for your "pimps and ho's" party, Ragstock is a one-stop shop. Also worthy of note, is the fact that Ragstock carries overstocked diesel jeans, which are brand new and still contain the tags. They usually price at around $30 a pair. So if you want to be fashionable but not pay $200 dollars for denim, check out Ragstock. Note: you must walk down the alley next to Hollywood Mirror to walk up to Ragstock. Just like the clothes, finding it is half the reward!" read more

Ragstock - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

Ragstock is the biggest independent clothing shop in Lakeview, carrying all manner of new and used clothing. This is a great place to find retro items and cheap accessories. If you're planning a costume or would like come clothes you can cut up for other projects definitely try here. Most things come quite cheap unless they're military garments or old formal wear, and they definitely cater to trends. Sales are regular as well ($2.00 t-shirt racks!). And not too long ago they expanded to the basement of their building as well. As a disclaimer, this is not the place to find clean, fancy clothes. A lot of items are cheap because they're cheaply made. But as I said, perfect for costume dress and a fun store to visit. read more

Came here out of boredom after work really in-search of some Champion NBA jerseys from the 90's ... love em in the summer. Their jersey selection wasn't doing it at all tho. Majority of their NBA jerseys were in youth sizes. Most of their jerseys are from the Minnesota Timberwolves ... like damn near all of them. Been back a few times and still haven't found anything really worth grabbing from that rack. I work at Belmont Army down the street and I've had better jersey finds there than at Ragstock. And unlike Ragstock we don't have a giant warehouse to get vintage clothes from. ALTHOUGH!!! The only thing that gave my visits any type of meaning were the Starter Jackets I stumbled across ... I love and miss them from the 90's. Digging through the racks I found an okay Atlanta Braves one and then a pretty sick Oakland Raiders one. I love the Raiders one. Big props on having these. The guy that works there said he's been asking the warehouse to send him better jerseys .... WHICH THEY SHOULD!!! But otherwise this place seemed pretty decent in regards to their other Men's selection. read more

Immaculate vibes Awesome customer service! Nice location in the city! A lot of great variety! It has everything!!!

MY FAV!!!!! i LOVE ragstock! The selection of clothing they have is unbelievable, they have vintage threads, name brands, and everything else. Kelly Osbourne has been spotted at the belmont store!!! cool beans! anywho.....i'm uber glad this place hasn't caught on in the burbs or I would be fucked. Good selction of clothes and accersories. LOVE! LOVE!LOVE!!!!!!!!! read more

Sometimes you can find cute stuff. Sometimes you find crap. Most is cheap. I like their socks. This will be my new Halloween destination place. But...to be honest, this place is definately a buyer's remorse place...did I really need my cherry-covered tshirt? Probably not. I should probably buy less and look more. read more

I'll agree with the person who said it's the most organized thrift store they've ever been in. The other day when my friend told me she was looking for a long skirt for a Halloween costume, I immediately referred her to Ragstock, because they always have very organized racks of the most arbitrary things. Oh look, a whole rack full of plaid jumpers! Oh wow, a whole wall of long black skirts! It's strange. Occasionally I find a shirt from last year's GAP collection or a pair of NY & Company jeans to buy at a fraction of their original cost, but a lot of the stuff here can be ratty and/or very old. The staff are complete morons who are totally full of themselves and scoff at any purchase you make. Additionally, they make getting a key to a dressing room as frustrating and annoying as possible. Still, there are some gems to be found. read more

I love this place because: It's cheap and they have great sales 1.99 for a brand new dress with the tags still on is excellent. The clothes are DIFFERENT than what you would find The clothes are not ratty with armpit stains like that of goodwill. My girlfriend found the exact hoodie she's been wanting for damn near a year here for $15 Why I didn't like this place: They check ID so on the morning when you just grab your card because you're going to meet up friends and you didn't feel like taking your entire purse/life with you, you're going to the ATM before meeting the cashier The great hoodie I found for my girlfriend had to be sewn up because we found that it had a 6 inch gash down the side, this was an unused brand new hoodie so that concerns me I found a live bug in the mens section of clothing crawling on V necks The sales section is confusing read more

I first shopped here with my mom when I was 13. Now, as a disgruntled old hag in my late 20's whose marrying some Louis CK-looking wonk, I'm still coming here. Part of this is because I'm a crass old sea witch who hates change and wishes the Clinton administration was still around. The other is because, unlike American Apparel and their insane prices, Ragstock does have a multitude of different layers and accessories for very cheap. Leggings? $5. T-shirts? $5. Earrings? $2. Sometimes there are very good end-of-season deals; one of the interns at my job got a very pretty silk dress for $10 in July this year. The best time to come for cheap, fun accessories is right before the big holidays. Screw Party City and their stupid crap; Ragstock is the place to get your light up Halloween earrings, stuffed dreidels, and, of course, all PRIDE material! This place is a goddamn nightmare around Pride, FYI. Clothes everyone, screaming college kids, and general chaos. God, children, it's not time to see Santa, it's a parade with other goofy people in it, you're an adult, act like it. read more

I dont know what really happened to this place. It might be just me but it seemed to be A LOT better like a year ago. Now all i see is, eh, kinda-cute-i-might-wear-that stuff. The arm warmers there were like, 14$ and at hollywood mirror right down the block, 5$. When I walk into a place like that i excpect to see everything under 40$ atleast. not a peice of clothing thats already falling apart for 45$. read more

Still a pretty decent store, and one of the few places I can think of in the Belmont/Clark area that I frequented when I was younger that hasn't worsened from my youthful memories. Prices aren't the best or the worst in the world, and most of the time they're decent. If you look hard enough, you can find some bargains here and there. Staff still has a slightly unfriendly and rude vibe, just like they were in my youth. And if you want really dirt cheap clothing, you're better off going to Howard Brown(Brown Elephant), or any other thrift store in the city. They did the odd thing of flipping back and forth between playing real crappy music, and despite being in Wrigleyville, had a White Sox game on the radio. Yay for that! Also, the addition of the basement area has improved this place, and made it more organized overall. Finally, I thought it was interesting and cool that they sell certain Japanese clothing, such as obis(sp?) and kimonos(sp?) on the 2nd floor. And though I miss their location on Sheridan Rd. by Loyola University, I hope this place continues to stay here for a long time to come. Especially since even when I don't feel like buying anything, it's a damn easy way for me to impress Chicago visitors. :) read more

After braving the alleyway to find the side entrance of this Ragstock, I was pleasantly surprised to find a HUGE space upstairs filled with anything and everything you would want to find in a resale place. I thought the randomness of it was hilarious, and because it was fairly recently after Halloween, there was still a large area where they had had all the costumes hanging up. I was able to find several things that I was interested in, but then they lose a star for their dressing rooms. I ended up not going into them because they are behind this chain link fence, and there was a line. The first girl I had to deal with behind the counter was totally out of it, but by the time I went to pay there was another more lucid girl there to complete my transaction. BONUS: Check out their men's selection downstairs, if you have a chance. They have an entire rack devoted to Magnum P.I. and at this time of year there is a great selection of UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATERS! I always enjoy an ironically ugly red and green sweater, and they had at least two racks of them. read more

Picked up a cool Paul Frank "Rucksack" for $12.99. SOmetimes you can find great stuff for cheap... sometimes you walk out of there empty handed. You just have to look. It's sort of a thrift store w/ some new stuff. Prices range from "I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY'RE CHARGING THAT MUCH" to "I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY'RE CHARGING THAT MUCH". There's cool crap here Sadly the Belmont & Clark is past it's glory years.... read more

personally, I love thrift stores. But, I have to find one that measures up to Ragstock. The thing I love about this particular one is the oh-so-serious hipster working behind the counter. He rushes to the front to get my bag - WITH DETERMINATION! he's not exchanging my bag for a laminated playing card. Oh no, he's on a mission! head down, full steam ahead! read more

Do you need tacky christmas sweater? This is your place to go. Hundreds, if not thousands. They range in price from $7.50 to $20. Nothing to say what others havent - entrance is in the alley. Mens clothes are upstairs. Womens are upstairs (Not all that progressive, but eh). Vintage clothing store with good prices. Return and refund policy is where I am disappointed - the policy is no. I understand because a lot of people could wear their christmas sweater that night and try to return it in the morning. But what about same-day returns? Also, its a like cattle call in there. Things are crammed in, and on a busy day, you have to push yourself in there to get what you want. They can't control this in many ways, but if its christmas, spread out the christmas gear throughout the bottom level so people arent getting slammed into the wall. And carry some mens sweaters, eh? I wouldn't rush back unless I needed a specific item. I prefer "Something Old, Something New" or "Brown Elephant". Both have windows. Perhaps a correlation. read more

Ragstock seemed to have peaked about 15 years ago. Compared to all the other thrift stores in the city, its prices are above average, and quality below. However, I still come in now and then, partly from nostalgia. When I first discovered the Ragstock in Minneapolis as a poor college student, it was a goldmine of possibilities. I could actually put together a cool wardrobe and pay only $1-$3 a piece. To get those prices now, you have to go to Brown Elephant or Vilage Thrift. Nevertheless, there is a chance you'll find exactly what you're looking for here. read more

Get down boogie oogie oogie! I really enjoy Ragstock 9/10! You have your modern, your retro, your vintage, your costumes all in one place. Do know what you are buying though because the prices for an item could be better somewhere else. There is so many neat things here though that you wouldn't find easily anywhere else. This location happens to be the best in my opinion. read more

I like this place because 1)Everything's cheap and 2)It's pretty much across the street from my apartment. I try to go once a month to dig through the clearance racks and find some basic tees/pants/accessories. I used to go a LOT, but then I found myself digging through racks of clothes that I already owned. :-o The staff can be shitty, and the used section can be dumpy, but you can't beat most of the $3/5/10 racks in the corner. I got a lot of my basic layering clothes there, like tank tops, leggings, sweaters. You really just have to look. Some of the stuff is amazing, and some is not worth it. read more

Ahhh yeah, Ragstock. I usually try to stay away from this place unless I have to go in, which is about every other Halloween season. Then I remember why I like this place. Costumes aside, if you can't find something that reflects your tastes or who you want to be, even for one night a year, well, you might need help. Even though I'm a little too old for some of the stuff in there, I've never been disappointed with the place. On my last trip, I was scouting out the selection, letting my inner 17 year old out to roam around, while my present self looked for more realistic styles and selections. Too bad I didn't need what I came across- a fall jacket, like-new button shirt, and work friendly cargo pants, all for $20 total. Yes, I probably won't find a combo like that again, but I know that the next time I come, I will find something. As for the service? Yes, I don't have high expectations. I never did. Maybe that is why I can tolerate this place as time has passed and most of the people in here are younger than me. The music is loud (and probably be something that will irritate 99.999% of the people that go in- it was barely tolerable then, barely tolerable now) and the service is lousy. If you want someone to hold your hand, head for Michigan Ave or the suburban malls. One of the few truer hold-outs in a Belmont-Clark-Halsted area that is now a shell of its edgier eighties past, I think Ragstock has survived by being exactly what it is. Pros: Something for everyone, decent prices, great place for Halloween or costume parties, every changing selection, location. Cons: Service, items of questionable origin (just wash everything when you get home), some items are questionably priced, location. To sum it up: The more things change, the more they stay the same. read more

Dear Ragstock, You solved my extremely ugly xmas sweater issues with the four racks that I giddily searched through. The salvation army had nothing on you this year, with your bedazzled snowmen appliques & glittery santa sweater vests. I appreciate your help in this matter. Sincerely, ME read more

This place is awesome! The entrance is a bit hidden in an alley so it is easy to miss even if you've passed it many times. It is a great place for quality, low cost, unique clothing. I got a tank top here for $2 that I wear all the time and it is still in "like new" condition. This is also a great stop to get costume-like items. read more

A fun little place to visit when looking to do silly shopping. The store is quite organized for being a thrift shop. I tend to buy my winter hats/gloves/scarves here. My newest edition of scarf and gloves are super adorable but on the pricey side for a resale shop. They don't have many clothes for those of us that are plus sized which is disappointing, but for those of average size and smaller it's a land of plenty. I was very entertained by Maria F. trying on a plethora of ugly ugly ugly jackets, which is a big part of the fun in "vintage" shopping. I'd suggest everyone visit at least once. read more

I work at a boarding school with teens, and I'd been to Ragstock a few times years ago. It's pretty cool that you can buy pretty nice new stuff for thrifty prices, but I think coming here with the kids I work with made me realize just how awesome this place really is. They get a super small allowance, so they get to shop for brand new stuff all that often. Here, they were able to look around and find some choice items they would actually be able to afford. When I was in college I came a few times for the same reason that they like coming here, but with a bigger budget and just to save money. They really do have it all, hats, gloves, scarves, sweaters and coats. It has two floors of stuff and both floors are huge. So, if you're looking for some basics or maybe one cool item, it's worth a shot. They also have some funky stuff sometimes, so it might be a good call for some outrageous pieces too. I also hate just window shopping with my kids, so I'm glad we can go somewhere without feeling like I'm wasting time. read more

I don't normally walk down alleys, so I had no clue Ragstock existed until recently. Firstly, if you have some reason to need a hideous Christmas sweater, this is the spot. Oh my. They have both new clothes and vintage clothes here. What I liked about this place is the price. Seriously, how much should a person be paying for an article clothing that someone else bought 30 years ago? It's worth the rummage, even if you're not planning to purchase. Looking at those blasts from the past up close is fun enough. I do have to agree with Amy H. I'd love to see some really vintage stuff from the 40's-60's as well. 70's disco dresses I can dig. 80's A.C. Slater jeans? Not so much. read more

If you need something vintage, a staple (think hoodies, screen printed tees, oversized accessories, tights etc) cowboy boots (in so so condition) or random costume accessories (think monocle, skinny 80s ties, ridiculous gas masks etc) then this is the place for you. Guys and girls depts are about the same give or take in terms of assortment- I usually end up going with guys so I spend more time downstairs than up...and that's not meant to sound as bad as it sounds... anyway, it's average- service is definitely lacking- last time we were in, it was 7 minutes to closing and the worker said 'we don't get overtime anymore, so are you done'....as I respect the working man's goal of not staying at his said crappy retail job past closing...we were still shopping and we had a decent amount of things in our arms for even a place as cheap as ragstock....however said clerk's try to be cool attitude is expected for the shop workers in this area anyway... I wouldn't make a mad dash there, but if you're in a pinch or need wardrobe staples on the cheap check it out...just don't expect them to kiss your ass... read more

This place is awesome. You will walk out with something for sure :) Great prices and different styles. i never was into buying the used clothes though. Great halloween items and costumes as well. They have it all, maybe not makeup though haha. Guys is downstairs and womens is up. this way ur bf wont get annoyed with you he can go off and do his own thing! lol only bad thing is.... the staff. they are not very helpful or nice. usually, i never needed their help anyways! read more

1. I absolutely hate shopping. The entire consumer experience of loud club music blasting while you browse through 100 versions of the same thing is daunting to me. 2. THIS IS MY FAVORITE STORE EVER! It truly doesn't feel like shopping. It feels like exploring a quirky stylish person's gigantic walk-in closet. No headaches here, just amazing finds for REALLY CHEAP. That's the other thing - You don't need to blow your whole paycheck here. I've walked out with several dresses, some leggings and a new pair of boots for under $100, easily. read more

$15 Suit in hella good condition? Check! New suitjacket and two pairs of dresspants for reception job, all $8-$5? Check! Weird, gendered divide in three story store (people who wear men's clothes in basement, people who wear ladies' clothes upstairs with seperate checkouts and bag checks). Also, creepy, hard to find alley entrance that I got heckled at while entering? Check. It's a great store with a wide array of new and used, dirt cheap clothing for all walks of life including work, very hardcore punk, goth, and everything in between but their sizes in new garments aren't very forgiving in majority of clothing and store's kinda a pain to navigate. Worth it if you're up to the challenge! read more

Gotta love the selection of Vintage clothing, costumes and throwback jerseys. Gotta hate the people that work there. Went in there to buy an old school soccer jersey. They had two that I liked. An Argentina jersey or a Barcelona jersey. Tried them both on, decided to go with the Barcelona jersey. When I went to pay for it, the cashier said, "Dude, go with the Argentina jersey." So i casually replied, "oh why, you as Argentinian Soccer fan?" He replied, "No sports are for fags." He actually dropped the "f-bomb" on me. How horribly unprofessional and offensive. I'm sick and tired of people who act like that in the Belmont area stores. Trying to be indie and coming off as an asshole because of it. Give me a break. Good clothes though. So I guess they do deserve some credit. Just bad service is all. read more

I found a cool light coat here once but a lot of times this "thrift-like" store is overpriced for what they offer. Its pretty good for holloween costumes, I may be able to stock up on what I need for my superman costume this year. Some tights, red underwear. . .or I could dye them. Other than that its also a treasure hunt so stop it, hunt around and every so often you'll find a fantastic find that you would have never have found anywhere else!!! read more

Cool store forsure but the lady with the pixie cut has a very rude attitude. Go to a different one

Great place to hit when you're thrifting like a fiend. Upscale not overloaded with junk you have to get through just to find something decent. Best one on the block. read more

so last year around this time i found myself in search of THE PERFECT WEDDING DRESS. and i found it at ragstock. no, not for my wedding-- god, no-- for my halloween costume! my friends and i were doing the dead madonna thing (like ya do) and i needed a dress that sang "like a virgin" so i could pimp it out for my "like a vampire" getup. so i went to ragstock and holy wedding dresses, batman. there must have been hundreds of them, in all sizes and styles. sorting through that mess was not easy, but i managed to try on a couple batches. and then there it was, THE dress. it seemed too good to be true- the perfect style AND the perfect fit? i mean, i didn't even have to wear a bra, that's how made for me this dress was. (i did wear a one, though, thanks for asking.) and then the price tag: $10!?! i felt like i was in that ikea commercial ("start the car! start the car!") i was so excited. ragstock also has accessories up the wazoo. got a necklace for me (black sparkly lips with fangs- again, too good to be true) and some bling for my material ghoul. read more

I'll be honest, I haven't bought a single article of clothing from Ragstock. They do seem to have quite a large selection and it's fun to browse the racks now and again, but I haven't really found any amazing clothing finds--yet. The thing I adore about Ragstock is their home linen section (I guess that's what it would be called). I scored some really beautiful vintage tea towels here for cheeeeap (five bucks or less and in really good condition, whereas at the Chicago Antique Market on Randolph they ran $20 and up!). I also found some really sweet vintage holiday table linens for a mere $4 each--no stains, no holes, no frayed edges, just pure, unadulterated, cheap nostalgia. Of course, it's more like my parents' nostalgia with the age of these table cloths, but that's what makes them so damn cool! Yay for old stuff that's still wonderfully usable! read more

came her to pick up a costume for Halloween, what a great selection if you are patient. So much stuff to go through.

I don't even know where to begin with this one. In a way, I've been informally reviewing Rackstock for years. It's about a mile away from my apartment so when I shop there, I tend to walk. As a rule of thumb, a good portion of the walk back is spent ranting on my phone to my roommate (who also frequents the store) about my experience. I have the ultimate love/hate relationship with Ragstock. I love their clothes, but shopping there never fails take pissing me off to a new level. My first visit was for a Halloween costume. I saw that they sold casual women's clothing but I was slightly pressed for time so I focused on getting the costume with the intention on returning another time. I was impressed with their large selection of slutty costumes and selected a few to try on and was in and out quickly. There were large speakers all over the store screeching loud freaky sounding music that was distracting and actually gave me a headache. At the time I was a bartender in Wrigleyville so you can draw your own conclusions on how loud that music had to be to give me a headache. I wrote the music off as a failed attempt to be cryptic and creepy for Halloween.I returned about a month later to see their selection of clothing only to discover that loud blaring creepy music is apparently part of their day to day operation. Unlike the last time where the music consisted of screams and drums, this day's selection consisted of odd clinking sounds over a beat in a continuous state of looping crescendo and decrescendo that I liken to Chinese Water Torture. I had my Ipod on me that day but the music was so loud that I could hear both my music and the crazy clinking crap. As far as the clothes. They were amazing! I have never been a fan of consignment so I kept to the new area. Although somewhat disorganized in their presentation I liked the style of many items, and being unsure of the sizing I occasionally grabbed two sizes of the same item. I had more than the 6 garment limit so I took the time to separated my clothes into into 3 different groups so that the duplicates were together. I did this right in front of the clerk and then stood hoping he would notice me and issue me a number. Apparently he was to busy staring into oblivion thinking about the complexities of black nail polish to see the person standing in front of him. After a while I said "fuck it" and walked right by him into the dressing room with about 16 items. After I finished I walked up to him to hand him the sizes of the duplicates that were too big/small and the items I didn't like. This hard worker turns to me and says "You have to re rack them yourself." Are you serious? Could you be more worthless? You may wonder why I continue to shop at Ragstock. The answer is simple. They have really good clothing at reasonable prices. You won't find anything fancy here, but in the summer (when I do most of my shopping here - I find their winter selection to be a little blah) they have a lot of casual yet cute items. Ragstock would get 5 stars from me if they could somehow manage to get their shit together. A few other things to note: 1) All purchases are 100% final with no refunds or exchanges. This policy includes even exchanges as well. I was burned on this on my first visit when I was sizing clothes. I accidentally put back a small and purchased a medium. I returned 3 days later with the shirt (unworn with tags), receipt, and credit card used but was unable to swap out for the smaller size. 2) They use an old school tag system rather than a scanner. However, when they do markdowns, they do not note them on the tags (it takes too much work to write new prices apparently) so you are at the mercy of the memory person ringing you up. The people that work here are the most apathetic "woe is me" cutter types and generally not the sharpest crayons in the box. I have had to remind them many times that items were marked differently. Knowing they don't have a firm inventory control makes me even madder at the no exchange thing. 3)The people that work here are horrible people that lack logic, tact, or any regard for customers. My roommate had a hooded jacket that she purchased there in a previous year. She lost it and often complains that she hasn't found one like it since. I saw one just like it so I took a picture with my phone and sent it to her asking if she'd like me to pick it up for her. Rather than texting, she calls me back a little later while the clerk is ringing me up. They have a very strongly worded sign about cell phone usage (that music is WAY worse than a room full of chatters) so I briefly explain that this call is relevant to this purchase (remember I can't get a refund if she doesn't want it) and he threatens to throw me out and not allow me to make a purchase if I answered. Ragstock is easily the Soup Nazi of Chicago clothing stores. So evil and frustrating - but the end result is so good! read more

best. halloween. store. ever. they've got funky, spunky, weird, outrageous, vintage, modern, smelly, old, furry, fro-y, leopard, tiger, cheap, hairy, leather, sticky, and neon. i think that about covers it. themed parties (not just halloween) would be inspired by this store. you know how i love themed parties. my next idea: a legwarmer birthday party. JUST legwarmers. some useful info: don't steal. they have mug shots of all the jerks who have stolen from there before. don't be one of those people. read more

I'd give no stars, since I turned right around and left. My purse was slightly longer than their 10x8 rule, and they wanted me to leave it behind their counter, unattended. I explained that it not only contained my money/ID, but also several life saving medications (ones that could be easily stolen and sold illegally), they still wouldn't let me keep ahold of it. I was so uncomfortable, I just left. The location in Woodfield mall is soooooo much better. read more
