What is the I.D.E.A. Store?
Those at the I.D.E.A. Store are passionate about finding fun, functional and creative reuse for the materials we often take for granted. They have a massive and ever-changing inventory of donated materials. They are a store, a community, a donation center – a marketplace of items and ideas.
Gail Rost, General Manager of the store, toured the class around the warehouse. The I.D.E.A. Store is a one-of-a-kind business and has a business model unlike any other. It successfully turns a profit every year, and donates to the Champaign-Urbana schools.
