ACS 313 Blog #6 Topic: Riverbend Resale

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Blog #6 :)

Today is March 7th, 2025

I just recently found out about Riverbend Resale, but it has easily become one of my favorite thrifts!  Riverbend Resale sells items ranging from household décor to children-adult clothing. They are located at 41 E. Ferguson Avenue, Wood River, IL 62095. They are open Monday- Saturday, 9:30 am- 5:30 pm.

When I visited Riverbend Resale just a few weeks ago, my friend and I were looking for wall décor and other apartment finds. We found more than enough items that would look perfect in our future apartment. Might I add that it is for a good, affordable price.

Riverbend Resale has been open since 1994 and is owned by the sweet Lena Hartsock. When I was there, Lena was working, and she was sweetest, always checking on us. She also gave us a deal with our purchase, which is always great! Riverbend Resale also has over 300 positive reviews.

The store is full of all kinds of items and was a fun environment overall. It has two floors, one being a basement. The upstairs is filled with adult clothing and accessories. The basement caught my attention the most, it was full of beautiful paintings and other décor pieces. It also had a section dedicated to youth clothing and toys.

I suggest this store to all the thrift store lovers out there!
