Plato's Closet also emphasizes sustainability by promoting the idea of recycling fashion, allowing customers to sell their gently used items for cash or store credit. The atmosphere is typically casual and inviting, encouraging shoppers to browse and discover unique finds. Lynn and Dennis Blum founded Plato's Closet in 1998.

 

With more than 500 individually owned and operated stores across North America, the closest Plato's Closet stores are in Albany and Danbury, Ct. But soon that will change.
