Retail businesses can be difficult ventures in a struggling economy. However, resale stores happen to be one of the few exceptions to that rule. The resale industry is one of the few recession proof segments of retailing. Not only does it survive during economic downturns but it grows and thrives... shining with promise. The appeal is twofold... they're huge draws for thrifty consumers looking to get their clothing, accessories, jewelry, and more at a fraction of the cost found in regular retail stores, and there is a financial incentive to sell, trade, consign, or donate their unused or unwanted items. This particular resale store is an established and popular juniors' and women's clothing and accessories resale store in Lakewood, Washington, located on a busy main street in the heart of a military town. This is much more like a boutique than just a store; customers compliment the decor, layout, and cleanliness daily. A few strengths of this business are its reputation, customer service, no competition in the immediate area, no appointment necessary for customers to sell items for cash or store credit. The inventory includes over 145 ball gowns as this store caters to the community military balls, middle school dances, high school homecomings, and proms; the only resale wedding gowns in the area; MANY designer items including Coach, Michael Kors, and Dooney&Bourke. All systems and procedures are in place for the new owner to take over including an iPad cash register and credit card system, Security Camera's, ADT installed, and stereo system. The current location is 2,200 square feet and includes 2 dressing rooms, 2 bathrooms, and an office. A new lease would need to be contracted to remain in the same location; or, the new owner would have the option to move the store to a new location. With over 865 Facebook Page fans and followers and a loyal stream of customers, this is a ''turnkey'' retail business. Asking $60,000, Contact Tami at (253) 314-1169.
