About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 17
- Facilities & Assets
- Plato's Closet Asheville, the place to shop for teen and young adult styles and brands, has been the leader in the recycled clothing market in Asheville for over 15 years! The original owners opened Plato's Closet and operated
the business for 8 years before selling it to the current owner, who built upon the previous owner's success and took it to the next level through delivering excellent customer service and developing awareness for the business throughout the community. - Market Outlook / Competition
- Our excellent customer service, consistently organized racks of clothes, and the ongoing building of relationships with new and repeat customers. Plato's Closet's advantage is immediate cash-on-the-spot for gently used, trendy
teen/young adult apparel, offering a faster and cleaner experience than consignment.
Current Industry Overview:
Thrifting is an increasingly popular way to shop for teens and young adults (as well as more mature customers!). - Opportunities for Growth
- The biggest growth opportunities for a resale apparel store like this one lie in strategically dominating the two core
demographic drivers of the secondhand market: the youth (students) and high-growth diverse communities (Latino/Hispanic).These are not separate customer segments but often overlap, and a generalized strategy should focus on the common values that attract both groups: affordability, authenticity, and digital connection.
