Plato’s Closet® Opens in North Providence, Promoting Sustainable Shopping

Plato’s Closet®, a retail resale concept aimed at teens and young adults, has launched a new location in North Providence at 1401 Douglas Ave, operational since May 1. This store specializes in the purchase and sale of gently used brand-name clothing and accessories, providing customers with savings up to 70 percent off retail prices and immediate cash payments for unwanted items.

Stephanie Gardner, a Rhode Island entrepreneur with a strong belief in sustainability and a personal history with the brand, owns the new outlet. Her experience in retail management and marketing, combined with her dedication to the Plato’s Closet® mission, has been instrumental in bringing this sustainable fashion initiative to North Providence. The store’s approach not only encourages sustainable fashion but also contributes to local small business development.

Unlike traditional consignment shops, Plato’s Closet® offers a more accessible option for young individuals to update their wardrobes affordably and sustainably, without the need for selling appointments. This model supports the overarching objectives of Winmark – the Resale Company®, the franchise behind Plato’s Closet®, which focuses on minimizing clothing waste by extending the lifecycle of garments.
