Bring Plato's Closet to Your Community

Tap into the Pulse of Today's Fashion

You don't have to be an industry expert to know that young people spend a lot on clothes, but you may not be aware of just how big this market is. This demographic spends about $50 billion a year on clothing and accessories—and another $170 billion is spent by others (like parents, etc.) on them. The Plato's Closet brand was designed to fill a niche in this marketplace where our stores are both buying the latest fashions and styles from customers and selling them back to our clientele at discounts at up to 70% off regular retail pricing.
