My husband and I have shopped at Embrace for several years in Meadowview. November 2023, we stopped…read morein at the new location in Bradley, Il. I made a comment on how I liked the new store-Embrace and I was waiting on my husband cuz he was trying on jeans so I asked to use the restroom. While using the restroom, the same lady that I made a Nice comment to, yells through the door loudly, to not use a lot of toilet paper and continues to be rude yelling aloud so everyone could hear her & embarrassing me. I had shoulder surgery 5 days prior and I was struggling to try to use 1 hand to get pants down to use the toilet and to reach in to get toilet paper cuz they were low. After walking out, I was embarrassed and just wanted to get out of there. I told my husband & he tried talking to the workers explaining what happened. He couldn't talk to a manager cuz all of a sudden the managers were too busy. Which the lady who was being rude was one of the managers. No apology & didn't have the nerve to even talk to us. Another customer said she was rude to her too. How do you own a business when you are rude and are harassing your customers! You don't treat people like this! We will not be returning to this business ever again. We will give our business to those who treat us nice as customers. Maybe you shouldn't have opened your business until your plumbing issues were resolved. She said customers were coming in and plugging up her toilets. I guess they have only 1 toilet working but have a total of 3 or 4 toilets. Sounds like you need a plumber not blaming your customers.

Did a yelp search for this place sincewe love thrift shops and vintage finds. Found quite a few gems here for my home decor. The prices were very reasonable in comparison to many of the vintage/antique stores in general. I live about an hour away from here but I will come back to see what new stuff they have! The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful as well. If you are looking for vintage gems at reasonable prices, they are definitely worth checking out.

I found a bag I liked in the store that was at the upper limit of the price point I was looking…read morefor, especially since the bag was worn in places. When the cashier rang it up, it was more expensive than the tag read (it's worth mentioning that their bags have two tags, a hang tag on the strap near the hanger and a detailed tag stuffed in the bag somewhere that usually takes the cashier a bit to find). I pointed out the price discrepancy, and was curtly told that the price inside is the one that counts. I wasn't willing to pay more it, and told her I'd have to pass at that price, and thanked her anyway. I offered to put the bag back on the rack. She told me I was out of luck because they had a no return policy. I had not completed my purchase and reminded her of this. She said there was no way to cancel a card that she'd already swiped. I realize I should not have given her my card until she told me the price, but wasn't concerned at the time. She said that my credit card had been charged and that I could take the bag or not, she didn't care. I told her that she could either cancel the card or that I could do a chargeback on my credit card, which shouldn't be a problem since I had not authorized the charge. She told me that if I didn't sign, it was fraud. I asked if she was going to cancel the charge or if I needed to call my credit card company. She was pissed, but reversed the charge (the thing she'd told me repeatedly that she couldn't do). Obviously, I won't be back, and was disappointed by the aggressively bad customer service from a locally-owned business.

As mentioned in other reviews the staff is RUDE, uppity, mean girls kind of rude. Reality check!…read moreYou work in a used clothing store in Kankakee county, not Some Beverly Hills boutique. Second when you turn clothes in, and meet with their approval, you are on your own. You must remember to check back and see if they sold it, and hope they were honest when they said they didn't and when you look for it it's gone. There is no record of it, so they could of sold it or "donated " it. For purchase there are a few nice things, but nothing you couldn't find at the Goodwill store down the road.
