They share how they went from running large independent thrift shops to building one of the top-performing portfolios in the system, with four Uptown Cheapskate stores across Oklahoma. We dive into: The economics of resale vs. thrift shops (staffing, inventory sourcing, square footage). Why Plato’s Closet rejected them—and how that led to Uptown Cheapskate. How they fill 10,000 sq. ft. stores without ever running out of clothes. The proprietary pricing software that keeps them on-trend and profitable. Hiring and retaining fashion-forward staff compared to high-turnover fast food. Scaling from one store to four, funding growth with SBA loans and profits. Why Uptown Cheapskate (and sister brand Kid to Kid) are outperforming most franchise concepts today. This is a masterclass in how to scale in the booming resale market—while also building a team and culture that lasts.
