About Plato's Closet®

Our Dynamic Teen Resale Franchise Business

Plato's Closet is a retail resale brand aimed directly at one of the marketplace's most demanding and discerning demographics: teens and twenty-somethings. Using our "ultra-high-value" approach to the resale industry, we've been able to create a vibrant, kinetic retail experience that not only keeps up with the latest trends and fashions, but builds loyalty with young customers and families who are looking for affordable options and appreciate the opportunity to sell us the clothes that no longer fit or meet their personal style.

Leading the Industry

When it comes to fashion and accessories, teenagers and twenty-somethings have a lot of choices—in fact, a significant segment of the fashion retail industry is already dedicated just to them. Plato's Closet has the advantage of carrying items from all retailers in this category in one location. This continues to prove enticing and convenient to shoppers in the communities where we have established franchises, where they can shop in one store and get all the latest brands, styles, and fashions at affordable prices.
