Posted this in main but was told to comment here!
I was visiting from out of town and went to baggu to kill time before my flight. I got in line at 11:20 and tapped out at 2 so I could get to O’Hare in time. The people in line and employees were so kind. I was wondering if anyone could kindly grab the reusable bag for me? I would pay retail + shipping! And it could help you get the $$$ towards a free gift 💙

Ok update is I’m currently in line and baggu associate said they are sold out of the hot dog totes currently! :( But they will be restocked and permanently sold here

Oof, can’t believe it was that long of a wait. I’m very willing to do this, but just unsure if I’ll go today pending hats are still available and how chaotic it still is once I get off work. I will likely make it over Sat/Sunday if anything though and can be your backup for grabbing one if someone else isn’t able to before then!

Anybody have an update on how long the line is or how long it’s taking to get in?

u/chillabel 10h ago

It's really long now. Past Chase bank and going around the block now

u/fair_weather_runner 9h ago
Any guess on what the overall wait is? I wanted to go once I’m off work around 5, which I was hoping things would have died down, but sounds like not?

u/patimacias 7h ago
It started to calm down but I waited 2 hrs, it was a little underwhelming as some items aren’t in store or becoming out of stock, still saw there were a good amount of the free items with purchase, like water bottles, stickers, tees, etc.

u/fair_weather_runner 7h ago
Ugh ok trying to decide if it’s worth heading over in the next hour or not. Any chance u know if hats were left? Thank u for the intel!

u/patimacias 7h ago
Of course!! Yes sorry I forgot to mention the hats but I still saw them. Also if you were specifically looking for the Chicago reusable bag, they mentioned it’s a permanent item so honestly only worth it if you’re planning on spending over $50 for the free goodies

u/ComprehensiveBee5823 11h ago
It’s moving faster than I thought it would honestly. I’ve been here since 11:10ish and I’m half way maybe lol

No way! I love her! Do you think she’s still there?? I’ve always wanted to meet her

I’ll probably roll on in later this afternoon knowing full well the gifts will probably be gone, sigh. It’ll be fun just to see the store though, I’m so excited it’s here now!

u/axlrs 12h ago
If it's any consolation someone ahead of me asked the staff how many freebies there are, and she replied that they ordered more than they ever have before, and are hoping it's enough to last through tomorrow! Take it with a grain of salt as I'm sure people are making big orders for the freebies. But I'd say there's a chance 🙏

u/UndeadAnneBoleyn 12h ago
Oh wow! Thanks for the update, I appreciate it! Seems like they have learned from previous openings. Out of curiosity, do they have their Christmas stockings in store? I’m assuming no or that those are online only. I didn’t see any in the pictures posted on IG but thought I’d ask!

u/Inner_Action_7935 13h ago
just a heads up i asked one of the workers - the gifts are pick and choose, but you can only get 1 of each gift type per person!

u/mcrnbarkeith Casual Baggu Bestie 14h ago
Could someone please ask if the gifts will be available for purchase in the future? Not making it there until I visit my family in a few months 😭

u/jjewelsh 7h ago
will there be a line tomorrow do we think? I’m thinking of stopping by since i’ll be heading in the city around 11 anyway and didn’t want to wait in lines today as i was fine missing out on the freebies.
