Peoria and its nearby towns offer several secondhand shopping models. The directory includes clothing thrift, antique dealers, vendor markets and architectural salvage. Start with one two-stop comparison that fits what you can identify, inspect and transport. The map is a set of leads, not a promise of stock or underpriced finds.
These suggested trips are not active because one or more stops need confirmed shopping hours or visit access. Their shop profiles remain available in the local directory; confirm each stop before making your own trip.
South Side Mission has separate Garden Street and War Memorial shops. The operator identifies clothing, furniture and appliances, with different closing times at the two branches. Its Morton store is closed; the main-campus address is not a substitute retail stop.
Anne’s Anteex on West Lake Avenue and Step Back in Time on North Main Street in Washington are separate destinations. The comparison crosses between communities. Step Back in Time describes three floors, but confirms wheelchair access only to the main floor through the rear entrance.
Peoria Architectural Salvage on SW Adams Street focuses on older building materials. Urban Artifacts on North Sheridan Road describes vintage signage, advertising and collectibles. They are different categories, not two equivalent salvage warehouses. Use the map for Pekin, East Peoria, Chillicothe and Metamora extensions.
START WITH A SHORTLIST
These are starting points, not timed or optimized routes. Check each shop’s current hours, then change the order or remove stops. Opening a shortlist does not replace your saved trip.
Start with South Side Mission’s Garden Street shop, then compare the War Memorial branch. Inspect the actual clothing or household items; separate branches do not guarantee identical stock, prices or promotions.
The operator lists both Monday–Saturday from 9am. Garden Street closes at 5pm; War Memorial closes at 6pm. Confirm holiday exceptions. Donation acceptance is Tuesday–Saturday 9am–4pm, not the shopping schedule.
Open Peoria charity thrift shortlistCompare Anne’s Anteex with Step Back in Time. Leave time to inspect maker marks, repairs, construction and completeness. Choose a smaller pair rather than assuming every nearby antique shop can fit into the same day.
Thursday–Saturday is the source-supported overlap: Anne’s 11am–5pm and Step Back in Time 10am–5pm. Anne’s is closed Sunday–Wednesday. Step Back in Time closes on most major holidays; confirm the chosen date.
Open Peoria–Washington antiques shortlistSouth Side Mission’s operator page separates shopping, donation drop-offs and bulky-item pickup. If you are also donating, confirm acceptance and the Tuesday–Saturday window; purchases do not establish a pickup appointment.
Anne’s Anteex advertises antique buying and estate services. That does not establish an offer for a particular collection. Step Back in Time identifies rear-entrance main-floor wheelchair access; do not infer access to every floor.
The salvage warehouse has selected Saturday openings. Architectural materials may require dimensions, safe handling and a buyer willing to collect locally. Urban Artifacts’ tourism listing identifies its inventory focus but does not supply a complete shopping timetable.
Set a buying limit before the trip. Inspect condition, construction, missing parts and alterations; compare recent sold items in comparable condition; then include fees, shipping, preparation and your time. Shop type and a low sticker price do not establish profit.
Use the men’s jeans research and video, shirt label checklist and video, sourcing checklist and profit calculator. Historical examples are research prompts, not current valuations.
The shortlists do not calculate travel time or optimize your route. Confirm current openings, then change the order or remove a stop. Approximate pins identify recorded business locations, not guaranteed entrances, parking or accessibility. No firsthand shop recommendations are implied.
No. The salvage warehouse lists only the first and third Saturday, while Urban Artifacts needs opening confirmation. Other pairs have their own schedules.
No. This guide scopes the map to Illinois. The Washington stop is at 116 North Main Street, Washington, Illinois.
That is not confirmed. Step Back in Time specifies main-floor rear-entrance access; ask about any other area or facility you need.

YOUR SOURCING DAY
Add up to 20 stops, then use Move up / Move down to set your order. Check shopping hours before heading out. Directions follow your order; they do not optimize it.
Between-stop straight-line distances use approximate map pins. Rough driving ranges assume roads add 20–60% distance, with 20–35 mph for legs under 15 straight-line miles and 35–55 mph for longer legs. These are planning assumptions, not calculated road routes. Rivers, road layouts, traffic and parking can make actual travel much longer. Excludes your journey to the first stop, return home and shopping time. Check the route and current timing in Google Maps.
Your trip is empty. Choose “Add to trip” on a store card or map pin.
Longer trips open in groups of four stops so every stop is included on phones. Your saved trip stays in this browser and does not sync across devices. In private/incognito browsing, it is removed when you close the private session. Copy the share link to keep a portable version. A shared link contains only public store IDs.
