Aspire On Broadway

Sad to say that this store is closing October 31, 2014
Stopped in today, 10÷11÷14, and everything was half off. Furniture was 75% off. You also get to choose 5 books for free with your purchase.
This is a really cool thrift store. Not crowed and very neat compared to many thrift stores in the Chicago area. More of a small town thrift store feel, if anyone understands what I mean. Neat finds throughout and happy/​polite staff. I’m bummed that I didn’t find out about this place sooner.

MY 100TH Unilocal REVIEW! YAY! THIS CALLS FOR A CELEBRATION!
When I lived with my aunt in Maywood between 2002 – 2007, we use to always shop at this resale store, and every trip was a great one, consistently offering great items at great prices and a great selection of items. Not to mention, great people too, although many of the employees at this place are pretty up in age. They sure don’t show it though.
One time, when a couple employees were about to throw out a small chest that the store couldn’t sell or whatever the problem with it was, my aunt caught them moving it out the back door of the store. I was with her that day. Do you know that they let her put the chest inside the trunk of her car for free? And do you know that they helped her put it inside the trunk of her car, for free? They didn’t want anything for it! LOL. You don’t see employees that friendly at many stores these days! :)
