That’s right! We’re excited to announce that we are going to be open on Thursday at noon! For real this time. We’re nervous and cautious, like a little fawn leaving the nest for the first time. (That made no sense. We’re hyperventilating behind these masks in Fort Quimby, hunkered down.) We will be open five days a week Thursday through Monday 12 to 6 & closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for the time being. Eight people can come in at once and you must be wearing a mask. We look forward to seeing you!

We’re still closed to the public but we continue to enjoy the responses we’re getting for our Qustomized Quimby’s Quarantine Zine Package (tell us what you like, pay $25+ postage, we send you zines). The notes people leave tickle us so.

Help save Chicago, one t-shirt at a time. Barrel Maker made a truly great Quimby’s shirt and $10 of each sold shirt goes toward Chicago-based small businesses. You can only order it through 5/31, so don’t sleep on it!
