Buy Shit Thursdays at Quimby’s!

Published on November 2, 2023 0 Comments

 

It’s that time of year again! If you’re looking for gifts that are unique, memorable and just plain cool, we’ve got you. And we’re even staying open late on Thursdays during the holiday season so you can get all your shopping done here, where we promise you a Mariah Carey-free zone.

We’ll be open 12-8 p.m. on these Buy Shit Thursdays:

Nov. 30
Dec 7
Dec. 14
Dec. 21

We might have some fun surprises, too! So stop in for the kind of BS only Quimby’s can shovel.

(Just as a reminder, our usual hours are 12-6 Thursdays through Mondays, closed on Tues and Wed. So live it up on these Buy Shit Thursdays when we’re open til 8!)

Remember our 2022 holiday window by Ashley Wilfong (as pictured above)? We do!

QuimBurger Celebration, Oct 28th

Oct ’23
28
12:00 pm

Everybody knows if Halloween falls on a weekday you do your partying the Saturday before. 2023 is no exception (especially because we’re closed on Tuesdays anyways). So join us all day on Saturday, October 28th from noon to 6pm while we transform Quimby’s into QuimBurger, with special themed merchandise and activities (and of course, candy).

No, we won’t have hamburgers and fries, but we will be selling a super special secret thing you can only get at Quimby’s, inspired by our newest window display! Chicago artist/writer/Meanwhile reading series organizer/fast food aficionado Megan Kirby transformed our front window into a vision of greasy fast food, inspired by Chris Ware’s store logo. We’re big fans of Megan’s work around these part, from her works like Another Day In Paradise and Coffee Spoons, to her pieces in the Chicago Reader, we are thrilled to have her art in our window! We’ll have some themed things to buy related to the QuimBurger theme we’ll surprise you with that day.

And since it’s the spooky season, we have to pay our tributes to the energies from beyond the veil. And that is why we’ll have tarot readings by Echo from 3-6pm! Echo has been reading tarot cards for decades. She uses tarot as a mind-opening tool, a method for helping us see more, a path illuminator. Find her on the internet at @fraulein_echo + echothehuman.com.
