I do think it was a bit more overpriced for the quality/condition that a lot of their items were in. It is huge and they have tons of home/kitchen stuff. The drive coming from Grand Rapids wasn't bad though I just wish the prices reflected the condition of the items more closely. All that being said, I would go back again to give it another shot.

I've been to Elevated several times now and have really enjoyed my experiences there. I don't…read morealways love antique markets/warehouses as they can be quite congested and claustrophobic - not Elevated! The aisles are wide, the booths are nicely appointed, and there is lots of great natural light from all the windows. I love that they are arranged by "streets" with numbers for each booth, making it easy to remember where you saw something. There are lots of fun things to check out - I love the reading room that also features art from local artists. They have the ability to rent a shelf vs. a whole booth, which I thought was really cool. Possibly the best part - the free popcorn! I also really like the fun decor like the board game wall. Parking is ample on the street in front or the free lot across the street. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Elevated.

September 6th is their official Grand Opening but they are open to the public NOW. My father and I…read moreheard about this reinvented warehouse thrift/furniture store that opened and had to check it out. With parking directly in front of across the street both free of charge. The entrance was a little tricky to navigate. There was a colorful toy/deco arch far off to the left that we went to only to read a note that said Elevated entrance with and arrow pointing to the right. So we turned around and headed to what looked like an office building entrance but once we opened the door there was a black sign with a white E and an arrow to the right with a open door. At the entrance is an old school telephone booth, with either an elevator (ring the bell for service) or stairs. The stairs were super easy to navigate and we were at the top on no time. The minute we walked through the door there is this cool vibe that permeates throughout the establishment. The way the booths are spaced, decorated, and displayed was very unique giving me lots of space to move about and enjoy the thrift experience. I really enjoyed the use of game boards and how they decorated the walls. I plan on using that idea somewhere in my future. There were many items available from jewelry, dishes, clothing, furniture and list goes on. The air was moving with open windows and fans. Also there are four large dressing rooms available that are spacious and clean. We had the opportunity to speak with one of the proprietors of the establishment Heather. Getting her feedback on the space, wanting to create a unique shopping experience for the community melted my heart. Loved they provided free popcorn and all the time not feeling rushed giving the opportunity to enjoy and possibly find a hidden gem. We walked away with some cooking items and stickers but there was a VERY close call on an antique display cabinet that we are still considering going back for. Great value for all of it. Highly recommend to stop in especially September 6th!

Thrift stores are a hit and miss. This was is a definite HIT! It's a labyrinth of rooms displayed…read morenicely giving a lot to take in but not feeling overwhelmed. There is a decent size parking lot outside, and a very simple store front but when you walk into the blue sea and smiling staff welcome you. There are bathrooms throughout the facility that are well stocked, clean and taken care of. The selection of items varies as every thrift store does. You will definitely walk away with something when you stop here. Today is Wednesday and although the site says 6pm they are open until 8pm. They take cash, and credit cards for purchased and will hold items as needed to allow you to continue to shop. This place also offers for purchase water, pop (soda), Pringles, assortment of candies and snacks to keep you going because when you get here you will be here for a while. I felt very comfortable being here, walking amoung the items and I teracting with the staff. Highly recommend.

People working there weren't particularly friendly.

Nate and I were specifically looking for something for him to wear to our friend's 80s-themed birthday party, and we really lucked out! Lauren was so helpful and friendly, and helped us find an awesome black sequined bomber jacket which was a perfect match for the pants he already had. It was fun looking through all the items - it's mostly clothing, although they do have several cassette tapes. I saw things from the 80s, 90s, and 00s and it was a nice mix of more casual pieces and some fancier things - definitely saw some great 80s prom dresses there! The prices were awesome; I got a super cute red jacket for spring for only $10! I am trying to get into more thrifting these days, so I'll definitely be back to treasure hunt at Flashback again soon.
