Purple Manatee Resale Shop

"I went to this place first time and i was amazed with how organized this place is. Each area is tidy with not overwhelming stuff all over and easy to walk around with cart. Selection is very good and prices are just right. They had section of each area but my favorite was library section. They have books arranged by genre of books. A separate room for antique and seasonal décor. The staff was eager to help. Greeted when i was entered and informed me about special as well. Easy accessible parking available for handicapped as well."

"Organized and clean. Staff is nice and prices are reasonable. The only issue I had was that the pink and “purple” tags look too similar in Color. Kind of hard to tell the difference especially if there’s a sale going on for either Color. I overheard another lady having the same issue at checkout."

"Everyone here is so so soooo nice and will welcome you as you come in. It feels cozy and has a lot of wonderful items. They have a separate room for antique items which I found really cool! I got my two living room lamps here for only $6 each so I was super excited when I got them!! I wish the clothing sections had more bigger sizes but other than that I absolutely love this little resale shop. My boyfriend and I regularly visit to see what new things they have. :) I can't recommend this place more."

"I am tempted to not leave a review to save my favorite thrift store from the gazillions of influencers out there… but alas here I am. This place is a GEM. I award all points to the organization of the store- there’s an antique room, Christmas/holiday room and a beautiful display of jewelry (with a woman parked right there to show you anything you want to see!) There’s a nice mixture of new and gently used things. I’ve never walked in and NOT been greeted and alerted to the chalkboard showing all the deals for today. Truly a gem! Thanks for being here Purple Manatee!"

"I gave this store 4 stars only because I think it could be organized differently. It was a bit confusing on where different clothing items were as they had women's in three different areas as well as a few others like men's clothing. I think other than the organization of the store I believe it was a nice resale store. It provided many categories for shopping. The prices are very good compared to other resale shops I have been to. The employees were welcoming and friendly. If in Lombard I would definitely stop in again to shop. I did not buy anything this time but I was just out looking the day I stopped in. I did however find some very cute shoes and a few other items I did consider buying."
