Different Location, Same Brown Elephant.

Serving as our home for the past 25 years, this summer we said goodbye to the Brown Elephant Resale Shop's flagship store located at 3651 N. Halsted Street. Over the years, together with our staff, shoppers and donors, we have made some incredible memories and also helped the community.
Now it's time to create a legacy at our new flagship store located at 3020 N. Lincoln Avenue, which is only a mile away from our old Halsted store. Nestled in the Lakeview neighborhood between W. Wellington and W. Barry Ave, this location is accessible from both the Paulina and Wellington Brown Line CTA.
"We're really happy to have the opportunity to offer shoppers, donors and staff a bright and inviting space to showcase all the amazing items that folks are kind of enough to donate, says Bill Joure, Howard Brown Health Center's Senior Director of Retail Operations. He adds, "We're working to learn our new neighborhood and make sure we're reflecting the kind of offering shoppers have come to expect of the Brown Elephant."
David Ernesto Munar, Howard Brown Health Center's President and CEO envisions that this new location is better suited for retail operations, but can double as an event space.
"The Lincoln location's flexible floor plan and private offices will allow us to host community events and on-site services, which will essentially enhance our ability to meet the health needs of LGBTQ people and our allies," he says.
And while our flagship store's locale may be different, we want to be clear: We're still the same Brown Elephant store with the same character and friendly staff you've loved for years. Most important, we're the still same trusted spot to score the coolest vintage stuff, everyday, from clothing to electronics to furniture.
Our mission remains the same too.
Created in 1980s by Howard Brown Health Center, the revenue generated by donations and purchases at the Brown Elephant Shops help fund numerous health care services for the more than 50% of HBHC's clients who are under or uninsured. HBHC offers an array of programs that include HIV/AIDS testing, breast and cervical care, elder services, primary health care, youth services, violence recovery programs and transgender programs to name a few.
So we ask that you come visit us at our 3020 N. Lincoln Avenue store and continue to keep shopping for a cause at all of our Brown Elephant locations throughout the city.
