This location has the best employees and is stocked with a lot of what I am looking for. The staff here is helpful, knowledgeable and friendly, so unlike the Binny's Evanston location. i also think the organization of inventory is more intuitive at the Skokie location. Even though Evanston is closer to me, Skokie is definitely the better option.

Skokie location was awesome! I would never again shop at the Gurnee location... Gurnee staff rude, racially motivated and terrible customer service!

It's ok to not sell alcohol with minor but it's ok to sell alcohol if you have kids with you so professional cashier. Just because of cashier I will not buy from this store.

Always a great experience shopping here. They have an incredible selection of wines, spirits, and craft beers, and the staff is both friendly and knowledgeable — they really help you find exactly what you’re looking for. The store is well-organized, so it’s easy to browse, and checkout is quick even when it’s busy. A real gem to have here in Skokie.
