Since 1976 the Antique and Resale Shoppe Inc. has been an independent owners-operated business. We are not a mall, and we strive daily to keep our inventory fresh, appealing and affordable. We buy and sell every day. We’ve been having fun buying and selling antiques for over 30 years, and you’ll have fun being here.

Whether you’re a lifelong Chicagoan or just planning a visit, The A/R is a must see for any vintage and antique enthusiast. Dealers and collectors agree, “Don’t tell anyone about this place!” Come discover why we’re such a closely held secret. You don’t need a secret password to visit, just a treasure map.
