Progressive Emporium & Education Center

This place is amazing! It's a UPS Acces Point with book store and lounge. You can pick up so many of your holistic needs while you pick up your UPS Package.
I came to meet a friend to discuss some business and was able to collect sage, coconut oil, Apple juice, books for knowledge and so much more.

I plan to come back for sure for some of the classes as well as host my own book signing. This is a great place for relaxation and education.

Family ran operation. Wholesome products , great community seminars and tastings. Every Community needs one of these and I wish them much success.

I visit mainly for books..I LOVE their book selection I couldn't find a better stock of literature all in one place. Unfortunately I'm usually on my last couple of dimes when I go but I always wind up with like 3 books and some oil or incense or bath something...but there's always more to look at like "wait til I get my money right I'm coming back for this." I LOVE this place ...they have some of everything from Dr. Sebi products to juice and foodstuffs to personal hygiene then back around to dashikis and tees...I'm going to go spend a few of my last dimes there today. One of THE BEST SPOTS IN ST. LOUIS TO RECYCLE THE BLACK DOLLAR.

I was very impressed with this Book Store the reason for my visit is I had a package from UPS and this is one of the places they will leave ur packages I didn't have time to browse but the time I spent waiting to retrieve my package I browsed I will be returning they also have other things like fragrance, incense, organic snacks check this place out you will be pleasantly surprised.

African American history & culture bookstore, etc. Got the chance to chat with a local STL historian at the shop. It was like sitting at your elders feet & soaking up the wisdom. Can't wait to go back!

I love being able to go to a place that represents and sale books and other things that pertain to my African Culture. I buy some of my history books here and my candles for my ritual alter.

This is a great place for me to learn about my people and all that we have done. And I also want to thank very much the people who could find this book and create this outstanding store.

Thank you very much.

Progressive is a warm and inviting African shopping space. I love the books, Black power shirts and bags, healthy livong items and foods and so much more!
