Editorial Review for White Elephant Shop – by Suzanne Carmel
The Scene
One hundred percent of the sales at this resale shop benefit Children's Memorial Hospital, located directly across the street. Though it's at a very busy intersection at Fullerton, Lincoln and Halsted, the store is relatively calm within. Two large rooms plainly display furniture, accent pieces, art, jewelry, appliances and clothing, all donated by customers in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. The store is run by the Women's Board of the hospital and has been in business helping Children's Memorial for more than 120 years.
The Goods
Shop for dishware, furniture, wedding dresses, African art and electronic appliances among the ever-changing merchandise. The store has even sold several cars and a sailboat. Find everything from a blouse for $5 to $10 to a couch for between $50 and $600. The designer clothing is located in the front of the store, with other clothing in the back. Other sections display books, children's clothing, toys and houseware. Customers have four days to pick up merchandise from the day it is purchased and all sales are final.
