Urban Outfitters Surplus Store

I love coming here, especially when there is 50% off of the 50% mark downs! I really don’t know how they do it, but there is a wide variety of styles and how often they update is just right! I purposely drive from the South to this Urban. It’s so worth it.

Went here regularly when I stayed in Chicago, and some of the deals you can find are ridiculously good. The stock changes quite a lot, so the quality of clothes is very variable, but I guess that’s the nature of surplus stores. Definitely worth checking out.

Currently crying over the fact I don’t have an UO Surplus store anywhere near where I live)):
While visiting Chicago over the weekend I knew I had to stop here. Thank god I did!!! The store was extremely organized and easy to navigate. Most of the pieces I saw were around $ 20. On top of the already cheap prices, the store was currently having a 50% sale on all of its dresses.
I was able to get:
— A lace dress for $ 5
— A slip dress for $ 7
— A hat for $ 5
— And an oversized tshirt for $ 5
Such amazing steals!!! I would recommend the store to everyone!!!

On the day before Christmas eve my boyfriend and I stopped at this store to make a few last minute gift purchases. It turns out the store’s hours on Unilocal were inaccurate and it turns out they were opening later due to the holiday. It was cold, torrentially raining and fiercely windy. We stood outside, looking into the store, with a group of at least 5 others, soaking wet as the doors remained locked. The store was set to open in only 20 minutes. For the next 20 minutes the sales clerks proceeded to sit on the counter, playing on their phones, whilst staring at us outside, visibly in distress. The group was knocking, asking them to please open the doors, mere minutes early. They would not, and utterly, intentionally ignored us. When the time finally came, a sales rep slowly walked toward the door, as though taunting us. He reached for the lock and instead bent down to open the mail which was on the interior doormat. He opened the envelopes, one by one, in an almost sadistic manner. We were absolutely drenched, and as visitors to Chicago, we didn’t have the luxury of ducking into a neighboring parked car. This behavior, lack of customer service and downright inhumane nature of one sales clerk in particular was dripping with narcissism and truly made the entire group feel as though we were being mocked as second class citizens.

Definitely not worth the trip. I went here during a weekend trip. The selection is not that great. Prices are cheap so if you have nothing to do and are like size xxs, I guess it might worth checking out. Maybe you could find like 1 – 2 things. My friend who went with me is basically a size 0 – 2 and couldn’t find much except for an oversized white shirt.
If you are visiting though, I suggest you skip this and find something else to do.

It’s an UO outlet store. It appears to me that surplus merchandise from the retail stores will liquidate here. In fact, many retailers nowadays have started their «own» outlet or liquidation centers so that they can keep most of their profits within the companies.
I surfed the UO official website the day before and noticed that many discounted items online could also be found at this UO Surplus Store. Lots of UO stuff looks unique and fashionable, and some has this modern-​vintage twist. Sounds cool, right? I highly recommend you to try on everything, especially the shoes. I saw a pair of vegan-​leather combat boots that might be «dressy» enough for work. I was excited to try them on, yet their awkward ankle design could potentially rub my delicate skin.
Rosa J. can endure a reasonable amount of pain, but she definitely cannot compromise on an inferior pair of boots. In addition, the price was so far from being desirable, even with the additional 30% off (40% off for UO members). For $ 70, I walked away from the shoe department immediately with no regrets.
Nevertheless, this UPST does a great job organizing each and every shelf and rack. Sales associates are nearby and are identified with their lanyards. This location gets constant traffic because 1) this vibrant part of Lincoln Park neighborhood is walking-​friendly; 2) DePaul University is on the east side of Fullerton Ave,; 3) it’s accessible via CTA #22 (Clark) and #74 (Fullerton) buses.

The Nordstrom Rack of Urban Outfitters!
This surplus store has way cooler clothes and for way cheaper. You’re definitely at the mercy of what’s left in stock, but you can almost always find something that you’ll wear and usually for under 10 bucks.
Since it is a discount store, you can almost count on some really obnoxious people shopping with you, but that’s the price you pay to pick up $ 5 Mom jeans. (Yes they have a section for this)

Was really hoping for a lot of $ 5 goods but most clothes were around $ 20.

Heaven. Don’t cheat yourself by going to the real urban.

I went there 3 times. All with great enthusiasm before I went there but gone home without buying anything. It’s a good store. It’s just not my style. Sad.

This store is awesome! I always have to swing by here whenever I’m in the Chicago area.
I promise– you won’t go out empty handed!
They have a variety of things from dresses to handbags. There are even brand name shoes such as Jeffrey Campbell!
Whenever someone tells me they are coming to Chicago I always tell them to come here!

Don’t really shop at Urban Outfitters but had to check it out as it was an outlet store. Everything is either $ 10 or $ 20 so I got a few t-​shirts. Would definitely go back to get more casual clothing from this location.

this store is A M A Z I N G.
everything is so cheap i just want to cry tears of joy.
i buy so much from urban outfitters on the regular. to be honest they are really way over priced, but its my guilty pleasure.
i never had the chance to pop into the surplus store since i was never down that way. until my place of work moved right down the street.
now i am in here on a weekly basis.
YASSSSSSSS!

LOVE THIS PLACE!
I’m a college student who happens to love shopping. This surplus helps that. Some days they even have student discount deals on top of their already great prices.
It’s unbelievable how much of a markdown there is. My friends and I like to compare original prices to what we got it for.
Sometimes we frequent too often and are left out of options for things to buy. So wait a few weeks before visits or you’ll get tired.
Great deals here.

The deals here weren’t what I was hoping for. With a line out the door for checkout it leaves you wondering if the items in your hands are worth the wait.
I much prefer shopping OU clearance online.

I came here for the first time today, and I knew right when I stepped into the store that I would regret discovering this wonderland.
Even before the store opened there were at least 10 girls standing outside, which was a good sign. because people rarely ever show up early for anything unless they absolutely have to be there.
The first thing that I noticed when entering the store was that they have a huge selection of clothing! They have at least 15 racks of dresses, 20 + racks of shirts, and 10 racks of pants. They also have a large selection of panties, undies, lingerie, and the miscellaneous items you usually find around the counters on sale.
They had many items that were only $ 5, which if you shop at UO often like I do, you will know that this is a huge discount, I purchased 3 dresses, a pair of pants, and a shirt, for only $ 34 …
The dresses were originally $ 79 and $ 44 each, the denim was originally $ 89, and the shirt was originally $ 39. UO stuff is usually marked up an insane amount, but after shopping here I realized just how much they mark up their stuff.
The shoe selection here is also insane. they have at least 100 pairs of shoes, tons of creepers, sandals, flats, flip flops, tennis shoes, boots, etc.
Luckily I don’t have enough patience to look for parking here, so I won’t be coming that often, but if I did I would be a broke ass mofo.
The people working here were incredibly nice and the customer service was great!

If you like loud clothes, cats or the 90’s, this might be the place for you. If you like all 3, then this is definitely the place for you. It makes me sad that I’m old enough for fashion trends that I wore in my youth to be coming back, but this is what I learned from my trip to the Urban Outfitters store. I guess I’m not ready to wear these trends for a 2^nd time, so I didn’t find that this was really my cup of tea. However, if you’re in the area, it’s worth a stop in just to see if you find anything suitable. Or maybe you just want to torture yourself with a trip down memory lane – you know, back when Blossom was your role model and before the internet was a thing.
Not that I have to mention this, but a surplus or outlet store is what they normally couldn’t sell in the store. Just because it didn’t sell though doesn’t mean you should count it out. I found a few cute dresses that I would buy had they been in my size, but sizes were limited. In the end, I picked up some Dr. Scholl’s wooden sandals that I owned many moons ago for $ 10 and a few clearance stationary items ($ 1 – 3)
When I was there, they were having some major sales like 50% off sweaters and an additional 30% off housewares. Nothing really stood out to me, but then again I wasn’t in a big shopping mood like I normally am.
The girl that waited on us was nice, but not overly talkative. It’s fine because I hate making small talk anyway. She did mention the UO app, so it’s worth taking a gander to see if you get an extra discount if you plan on shopping here.

Everything is cheap. I love when they have 50% off sale. Everything just becomes less than $ 5 and I love it. But the lines can be extremely long.
Sometimes they have items that the regular urban would have. So definitely check out this Store first.
Love coming here whenever I stop by Lincoln park.

My girlfriend loved this store. She never knew Urban Outfitters had a surplus store so when she went in and saw that everything was super on sale she thought there must have been something wrong. She must have tried on a dozen different things.
On the guy’s side of things it wasn’t nearly as good. I don’t typically shop at UO so maybe that’s why, but most of the stuff wasn’t nearly as on sale as on the women’s side and while the women’s side had stuff that actually looked pretty good, the men’s side almost all looked like rejected merchandise.

Where merchandise comes to die.
I wasn’t as thrilled with the surplus store as I always am with the regular stores. That’s probably because all of the merchandise here is clearance merchandise that no one wanted to pay full price for. There were some decent items, but they were mostly in the men’s section. The best variety in the ladies section was the dresses. A lot of it was too young (sweatshirts with weird phrases about being a bitch or a whore) or just too crazy (cat faces everywhere!)
I didn’t have any problem finding my size (Large) and the other sizes also appeared well stocked. I was happy the sizes weren’t as picked over as I expected.
I tried on a tunic with a crazy, bold print of polka dots and roses. It was much more flattering on me than on the hanger. The original price was $ 60, and I paid $ 30. It may not be a huge bargain, but that’s still a 50% discount.
Like the other stores, there was a big section of books and handbags.
The Urban Outfitters Surplus Store isn’t a destination. I would have felt like I wasted my time if I drove all the way here from the suburbs. But if you happen to be in Lincoln Park, it’s definitely worth a stop.
Management needs to take note of how their employees dress themselves. Some of them looked like slobs — and not the vintage, slightly undone hipster look. I noticed a very large girl on the sales floor wearing a long, flowy tank with a cardigan. Then I noticed her rather large belly («panus» is the technical term) hanging out below the bottom of the shirt. I really don’t want to see anything hanging out on ANYONE. Even if it’s the sexiest man alive, I don’t want to see his dick hanging out of his pants, right?
