Anyone who has shopped at Upcycle knows that we are in a big beautiful space, but it’s not all ours! The Collective at 3309 Meramec St. has served Upcycle Exchange well as a business incubator, and thanks to our wonderful community and customers, we are prime for expansion. We found the perfect new location in the heart of the South Grand Boulevard Business District. It’s got the space we need, along with gorgeous, tall tin ceilings and wood floors that have come to define Upcycle’s identity of being a beautiful place to springboard creativity. It needs a lot of work to bring out it’s full potential, and we’re working night and day on remodeling, but we need to be moved out of our current location by the end of November.

So! …Upcycle Exchange will be open for your craft supply needs through Saturday, November 27th (but closed for Thanksgiving, of course), then will be closed to move everything out and finish up the remodel. We estimate our re-opening day on 3206 South Grand to be within the first week of December. We will be sure to let you know through every channel available to us when we have a confirmed date for re-opening. Our hours from then on will change remain the same, except that we will be open later on Saturday nights (till 8pm).

We are really excited for all the possibilities in this fantastic new location that we are planning: a handmade consignment shop, craft classes, shared studio space and a high-end equipment lab. It will all come together in the next few months, but for now, a bigger, better Upcycle Exchange is just around the corner!

  1. I have missed you since closing to move. I’m sure your new location is going to be fabulous. I’m so excited for you. Can’t wait to see the new store.
    I gave Siteman Cancer Center’s Art Center the Cuddlebug I got from your store. They were thrilled to get it. Patients can’t have real flowers. She bought flower and leaf dies for it and is making felt flowers for the patients. They are so cool. But I love felt anything. LOL
    Thank you so much for giving us a wonderful store. I love the face we are recycling. I hate wasting and throwing stuff out that can be reused by someone.

  2. Will you charge a fee for the craft classes? What type of equipment will be in your lab? Will the shared studio space be a place for us to come and work in? Will there be a fee for that as well? I’m so excited about the new changes.
    Thanks,
    Laurie
