I mean, there's more than you would think walking in. I found a FOUR pack of solid movies Repo The Genetic Musical a copy from Hollywood Video complete with lock on it lol, Phantom of The Opera, Phantom of the Red House and Ikiru. So I got some classics for like under $2 lol. Didn't see much clothes of use. read more

What a great find! Staff were so nice and everything was well curated and labeled, and prices can't be beat! I found an amazing dress for $8, a Nigella Lawson hardback cookbook for $2.50, and a huge candleholder for $5. We'll definitely be coming back here! read more

Twice Is Nice - They're not wrong! - Antiques Near Me - Carol Stream, Illinois

See all

Twice Is Nice is a vintage/antique/resale shop where the proceeds benefit Outreach Community Center. Love the feel good part of that! The store is organized by size... and then type (short sleeve, long sleeve,etc)... and then by color. It's very easy to shop. The outside and inside are a bit beat up- they could really benefit from a nice coat of paint and updating/cleaning their windows. The gals are around and friendly. Prices are super reasonable! read more

Hunting for treasures here is Always amazing! It is a rare day I don't come home with some special treasure! Live this store and the special people who work here! read more

I highly recommend this thrift store. It might be on the smaller side but it is organized and is easy to navigate. The staff is amazing! They inspect all of the clothing searching for damage. I have been shopping here for years and have only purchased one item that had it a very non-obvious stain. One of my faves! The prices are extremely reasonable and the quality of clothing is higher end. Prophets go to battered women which is such a good cause. Definitely worth the visit! read more

I donate to this place often. people are helpful unloading our car . this place does a lot of good work and is associated with college church in Wheaton. read more

One of those cute thrift shops where you usually come away with a treasure at a steal. I found a beautiful 100% silk sweater for $3 today, for example. It's a must visit for thrifters. read more

People are great, new items all the time, I have purchased many things there from clothing to decor items

They used to sell good clothes and things at a bargain. Now, they have drastically increased their prices and what they sell are very old and worn clothing, shoes, and things. They sell lots of junk and is a waste of time and money. read more

I usually like to support this place and used to recommend it based on the cause but today when I got a few items, my method of payment did not go through right away Let me tell you when you're using contactless payment, if there's anything within that IT system, (this is per IT!) like the signal is weak or my phone data is not strong, whatever the case may be, it might not take it the first time. so with insincere disapproval. They're like it's declined with a nasty little scowl on their face. I'm like well I'll just pay another way I'm not gonna mess with this. You know I wouldn't be here if I didn't have the money to pay for the stuff I just found it extremely offputting, and they didn't have a lot of selection, I don't really think I'll be frequenting this place nor recommending it anymore unfortunately and I hate to say that I know they support the outreach center but everyone deserves to be treated like a human being as well And by the way, the rest of my errands where I used my contactless payment went through seamlessly with no problem after this, so the problem was on their end not mine, and they've just lost a supporter over it read more

A great resale shop that also supports a great cause. Good bang for your buck. I love visiting every time I'm in town. read more

Very friendly staff! Prices are great and I'm always able to find something cute!!!!!!

Came here in search of some cute jewelry. Unfortunately, I did not find the ring I was looking for nor any rings at all. The store was pretty organized and service is good here. I did find a souvenir cup that has drawings of peace, love, and a sun. Great find. I would definitely come back here if I were to visit Chicago again. There is a large parking lot outside so this is a very convenient location to shop at. They carry so much furniture. I wish the thrift stores near me had so much stuff! read more

Charity resale that's run well, and always has great prices. The items are clean, the store is organized, and the staff is always sweet and polite. I donate to this store constantly, and I'm glad to see the items benefit the community instead of lining the pockets of a CEO. read more

WOW! A man that cooks,c leans, listens, brings home lots of money and loves cats? Thats "Twice is Nice"! Finally a thift store full of clothing that DOESN'T SMELL! The racks are sorted by size and gender and everything I looked at semed to be clean and in good repair. They hd nice displays of how the cothes could e wore together. Lots of well organizted books and a nice jewelry selection- particularly clip earrings. I was a little disappointed in the houseewares - nice but not quirky. read more

First time stopping by. Good deals well priced. well organized as well found a lot of shorts for $2 and battery cables for $5 not bad better than goodwill if I say so myself! read more

My absolute favorite thrift shop. I love the cause as I believe all the proceeds go to charity since the shop is run by volunteers. Although it is a small shop, I always find so many cute pieces for such cheap prices!! read more

This is your typical small resale store, but, like the other reviewer mentioned, it doesn't smell!! The store recently changed locations into a bigger space two or three doors down from where it used to be. What's good: -Good prices that aren't jacked up to reflect the "thrift-store-shopping- became-cool-when-the-Olsen-twins-started-dressing-like-they- shopped-in-them" movement. -Awesome selection of cool and quirky home goods from the 50s and 60s, some still in their original packaging. I've seen hair curlers, fry cutters, waffle irons, tanning lamps, and "back massagers" all in their monochromatic, script font packaging from circa 1968. (gotta love the tanning lamp ad that says it gives you a healthy glow and to stick your kids in there for a few minutes a day!). -Two changing rooms to try on clothes -A large selection of fairly-priced books and cool and fun kitchen goods What's Not-So-Good -not such a great selection of women's clothing -stuff is jam-packed together in some areas Really though, the good does outweigh the bad, and shopping here is kinda like going through your eccentric auntie's attic. It's one of those stores that brings me a little piece of the past and a bygone era in which it was ok at put your kids under tanning lamps for that healthy glow while you set your hair in curlers so that your husband saw you fresh, clean, and pressed when he got home from a long, hard day at the office. :0) read more

Twice Is Nice is quite nice. When I first walked in the store, I was concerned that they may be overpriced. Well, if I was to be 100% honest - they probably are on a few things here and there. Thankfully, they had plenty of other items that seemed to be priced just right plus the money goes to a good cause, so I can definitely see myself visiting here again. This shop was very clean for a thrift store environment. Most areas were well organized and easy to look through. I encountered two staff people while I was there and both were really nice. Even the other customers were friendly. I'm always a fan of kindness. I surely did enjoy my visit here! Plus, I found the cutest little side table for the right price, so I left happy! read more

this place is the best! truly a hidden gem. affordable prices, quality stuff, the staff is so incredible nice and the profits are donated (which is great opposed to a goodwill that's for profit) read more

On a whim, I took a spin through Twice Is Nice today and bought a name-brand cardigan, two shirts for my son, and a Pyrex measuring cup for $3.50 total. I recently broke that exact same measuring cup and was thinking of paying full-price for a replacement, it's been bugging me so much to be without it. Close call! Extra star for taking debit cards without a minimum purchase. read more

I hadn't gone in here for awhile and I just stopped in for an overdue visit. I got a skirt and 2 shirts for $7! All are great name brands and in fabuloust shape. As my visit many years before, the woman in charge was very helpful. I was asking some questions about purchases as well as donations. (They will take any season clothing). Lucky for me, this is located near a small grocery store that has awesome produce! read more

Jewel in the burbs! Super awesome people who own it. Found some great quality second hand. This place is great help to anyone that wants to try to buy ethically read more

I am hesitant to write such a review b/c it is our secret little gem! The people that work here are beyond friendly. The store is small but packed with so much stuff, and actually stuff that you want to purchase. I love their baby section! I think thus far our entire baby clothes stock is from here. It has become our weekly stop when we go grocery shopping. read more

I love this resale shop! I always score some good finds every time I visit. Compared to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, their prices are such a great deal! Anytime I'm getting rid of things, I donate all of my items to this store because I know that all of the proceeds are going directly to a specific cause. Kudos to the volunteers who run this place! read more

Totally wonderful. The workers are warm and friendly. The things they sell are priced very accessibly and are in great condition. The place is clean and bright, with artful arrangements of things here and there that have clearly been done with love and care. They even put on music from the 1950's, 60's and 70's that give it a nostalgic atmosphere. And on top of all that, you know that your money is going to a good cause. Love to go there. We just moved here from overseas, and most of the things I've furnished our home with came from this shop. read more

One of my absolute favorite resale shops in the area! This shop is always full of amazing finds at good prices. I can honestly say never leave here without buying a cart full of great things! The store is on the smaller side and very full, but well worth the tight-ish squeeze. Every employee is so friendly and always make you feel welcome. They even have helped me to my car a few times when I've bought larger items or just simply had a lot to carry. One of the greatest things about Twice is Nice is that they donate their profits to the Outreach Community Ministries. Unlike Goodwill who overprices and hoards profits out of greed, Twice is Nice keeps their prices reasonable and gives away the profits. I only ever give my personal donations to shops like them. You will always find a great range of old and new and a large variety of all types of things. Furniture, clothes, shoes, accessories, housewares, toys, tools, electronics, books, art/craft supplies, and jewelry. I have found new items and even a selection of vintage pieces as well. All for fair and affordable prices. They even have almost daily sales depending on what color 'price tag of the day' it is. You can also always count on there being a nice window display full of unique merchandise. The employees truly put heart into their shop here. read more

This place is a gem. I'll be back really soon. Lots of unique items here as well as antiques towards the front of the store. I found an awesome free people jacket here for four bux! As well as several knick knacks for my house. They had some interesting art work in here as well. Very organized book selection too. Everything is priced so well and it's priced to move. Love this place. read more

I came here on our resale shopping spree and I bought so many awesome things! The staff are friendly and willing to help you out. It is spacious and well-lit and organized. I bought some things I had wanted for so long and had finally found. It does not smell musty or anything bad, it was a great shop and had even more things I wanted to buy but couldn't because I did not have much time left. This store deserves every single star it gets because it is just amazing. read more

Great ReSale. Affordable clothes and furniture. All proceeds help an Outreach Center in Wheaton. Very nice people working there

The people who work here are wonderful! They are always happy to help. The store itself isn't very big, but it's always fun to stop here before hitting Village Market next door to see what they have. read more
