On Saturday, May 16, many independent vintage stores across the Northwest suburbs willparticipate in Vintage Store Day, a national celebration of brick-and-mortar vintage retail. Come into the market to experience pop up sales and special merchandise give aways!!
Vintage Store Day was founded by three Chicago shop owners — Emma Lewis of Rare Form
and Kyla Embrey and Sarah Azzouzi of Lost Girls. In its inaugural year (2025), over 900
brick-and-mortar vintage stores across 46 states nationwide participated, with 60% reporting
increased foot traffic or sales. This year, more than 1,100 stores have already signed up.
Vintage shops specialize in curated, pre-owned items generally 20 or more years old — with
each piece hand-selected by small business owners who are equal parts treasure hunters and
curators. These brick-and-mortar stores are community anchors of local neighborhoods,
keeping dollars spent local and offering customers a one-of-a-kind shopping experience no
big-box store can replicate.
