OMG! I went to Plato's Closet and found that you can get "Name Brand" clothes for the price you can afford. Its amazing how "NEW" the stuff looks in there. I love it. I would definitely recommend those who cant afford items from hollister, aeropostale, ae, abercrombie, etc. (if your looking for summer, winter, spring or falll items OR even for School Shopping) go to Plato's Closet. I shop there not often, but when I have the time too, I go there for great items. Its really affordable and they have things I like and a low price; shop there and look like you've been shopping at all the hot places(: |

Wow.I went there for my first time yesterday for school shopping. I thought I was out of luck with my mom taking me there. I walked in and there were walls filled,racks stuffed with clothes. I thought they wouldnt be so good stained,ruined,but I guessed wrong there were name brands and funky clothes that I love!I was so exited after I found a sweater I wanted at Aeropostaele that was way too much and now it was only 15$!I wanted to keep shopping but they were going to close in 25 min.So we went to check out and the girl was so nice! She admired my earings and said she loves my hairstyle! I got a really nice bracelet that Im in love with for only 1$! Thanks so much Plato's Closet! |

Some Mom's are blessed with great modern style. Mine on the other hand- is not. School shopping is something that I dread. It's like getting a tooth pulled. When we walked into Plato's, what I had imagined in my mind on the drive made me laugh to myself. It was nothing like I had thought.No bad old people smell, and no horrible music. There were racks and racks of clothing, shoes, and even books. The girl working wasn't much older than me, and as my favorite song came on the radio, we both chimed "Oh My God!" in unison. She then suggested things she thought would look good on me, holding them up to me like one of my best friends would. My Mom shot me a "told-you-so" glance on our way out, as I dragged the giant shopping bag to the car. She even picked up a purse for herself- that was pretty cute. The prices were amazing, so amazing- that my Mom suggested we make a habit of coming to Plato's on her days off. I happily agreed, hoping the next trip would persuade her to throw out her Mom-jeans. |

I went on a trip and I needed a ton of clothes to wear for dress up nights. I went to plato's closet in connecticut and got a cheetah print dress that still had the original price tag on it which said $70. I got it for $14. Another cute dress I got was a black strapless dress that I got for $8. Amazing deals for amazing dresses(: Everyone on my trip thought they were expensive and very classy. Got american eagle shorts for $5 and tons of other summer clothes for cheap prices. I love that I can save so much money shopping at platos and still get a bunch of clothes. Deff my favorite store! The closest one to me is 45 mins away and theres one 15 mins away from my grandma's house so I now ask to go visit more often(: I love shopping there. I tell all my friends about it and we want one closer to us! someone open one near worcester, mass please! :D |

i am i girly girl but tomboyish too. i am not afaid to wear dresses but i like pants too..i love clothes but i could not find any good deals. i would see my friends in their really cute outfits, but when i ask them where they got the clothes they would say from the mall. and mall = $; alot of money! but one day my teacher who works with me told me about platos closet, so i went there and fell in love. i have a ton of dresses, pants and shirts. my style went from not stylish to very stylish and i save a ton of money. now i have a lot of clothes and i get a ton of comments and now everyone asks me where i got my clothes, i say "from the store" wink wink! platos closet is great i love it. i get all the fashions and they are all one of a kind you can't find in the stores anymore. great find!!!! |

Well, my two best friends told me about Plato's Closet. It took me a while to get be able to find time to get to the store, but when i did it was AMAZING!! There was so many clothes, and the store was very clean and organized. I found amazing hollister cut off shorts for $12, and a cadet hat for $4. All of their clothes were really affordable, and so was their jewelry. All the clothes were in amazing shape. No broken zippers, no stains, no tears... Nada. They accept clothes only in great shape. And i like that because most 2nd hand stores accept anything. But it didn't feel like i was in a 2nd hand store. It had everything i needed, i love shopping at the mall, but i will definitely stop at Plato's Closet before stopping at the mall for now on. Because I can get so much more for my money... Go, and you won't be disappointed :) |

My name is Liz and I am 17 years old. I have lived in Torrance, California my whole life. I graduated high school early from a treatment center in Provo, Utah. A couple years of my life, I struggled with behavioral problems, depression and just being completely defiant. While I was in Utah, I would get to go on visits with my family from time to time based on my behavior. On my first Utah visit, I was told by a friend to visit Plato's Closet across from the University Mall. I did and I found out what an amazing store it is! I love it. I was always visiting the store when I would get Utah visits and on home visits, I was sad because there was no Plato's Closets... About 3 months ago, my mom called me and told me that there is going to be a Plato's Closet opening soon in Redondo Beach! That is really close to me, so I jumped around in excitement. I have so many cute pieces from Plato's Closet now and I am thankful that the prices are beyond reasonable for such nice clothing. Not only are the clothes amazing, but I can actually leave the store without feeling guilty. It doesn't hurt that they will buy your clothing too. Thank you Plato's Closet for rocking my fashionable world! |

Im just an average college student here at Auburn University, limited budget and everything. The selection and prices are unbeatable at Plato's. From Vineyard Vines to Brooks Brothers, they have it all for the fraternity and sorority students. Formal rush material to average chill, top notch. I stop by here and there and never leave without being blown away. Bar none, favorite store to get attire. |

I never like shopping at second hand stores, not because im to good. but because i can never find any name brands for cheap. my mom told me about platos closet, and i thought i would give it a try. i found the cutest outfit there and thought it would be at least fourty dollars. but it was only 12 dollars ! that was for the entire outfit ! i got at least six outfits that day for fifty dollars. but it gets better ! you can give them YOUR CLOTHES too ! so now, i return my old clothes, and just buy more with the money i got ! i love you platos closet ! :D |

I really love platos closet! I usually go shopping at very expensive stores at the mall and usually dont get a very big wardrobe... but then my dad said i should check this platos closet out because it was by his work. all summer it was in the back of my mind... and one day at the way end of summer we went out to lunch with him on his work break, and i said, hey lets check out that platos closet... and i was awkward when i first went in it then i was amazed! i buzzed around the store grabbing things i liked, and a large pile accumulated! i saw the price tags, 5 dollars for a juicy couture t-shirt that usually sells for 120!!! true religion jeans for 15 bucks!!!! and all in style! it all gave me a head rush! love it to death! our large amount of clothes totaled to 50!!!! WOW i couldent even buy and of those thing for 50 at their usual price! i always get hand me downs from cousins and its just like that! love it! TRY IT! :) |

I've been to Plato's Closet a few times and never really bought anything, but my freshmen year of college I joined a sorority and needed a white dress for our initiation. Over Christmas break, my best friend, Carly, and I went to Plato's Closet to check out if they had anything. I got a dress and a sweater to wear over it all for nine dollars. I was ecstatic to say the least. This poor college student knows where she's going to shop from now on. |

My step mom took me school shopping and we went all over the mall but everything was wayy out of budget, then we went to plato's closet just to check out some of the stuff they had there and I fell in love. I got a pair of DC's for like $15! That made me a loyal costumer at Plato's closet<3 |

I remember the day that Plato's Closet came to my city, Huber Heights. I didn't really know what to expect, because I had never seen a thrift store just for teens! After it opened, I walked inside. There were rows and rows filled with quality jeans from my favorite stores, like Hollister, Abercrombie and Fitch, and Aeropostale! And after getting through all the jeans, I saw more rows filled with all kinds of cute tops, scarves, hats, purses, jewelrey, and the hippest sunglasses. Everything in the store is in style! One pair of Hollister jeans that I could get for $50 at the actual store was only $16 at Platos. So I could get more of what I needed and wanted for so much less. And the clothes last! I've had my jeans and tops for a year and a half, and they have always pleased me. I do all my school shopping there. It's usually everyday that I look down and say, "this whole outfit is pretty much all from Plato's." I come from a middle class family with four kids that doesn't have alot of money. Plato's Closet got me in style and super confident for very very cheap. Thanks Platos!!! |

I have a 3 year old son, and mortgage and a brand new car. I can't afford all these nice expensive clothes, however my friend Ashley turned me on to Platos Closet, and I have spent like $30 and brought home about 7 new pairs of shorts, 4 shirts, and 1 pair of shoes. I mean holy cow all for $30. Unbelieveable. I shop there all the time, in fact my husband has traveled in there a few times to buy some items. And loves it too. Thank you Plato's.! You ROCK!!! |

I LOVE Plato's closet :) My mom heard about Plato's closet and told me that it was a consignment shop; and to be honest, I wasn't very happy about going. But then I went, and bought a LOT of things. I didn't expect to like it. But I did! It has lots of name brands aeropostale, abercrombie & fitch, hollister, etc., which was good cause that's mostly what I wear. Thank you so much, Plato's Closet for having very trendy + high end things; for a really low price :) -Lillie |

I've learned so much about Plato's Closet I mean as soon as I heard on the radio that Miami for the first time is going to have a Plato's Closet in Kendall I was shocked and wanted to know more so I looked up their web page. Since I Love Plato's Closet so much I even faxed over my application I hope I become a team member. And definitely I will recommend Plato's Closet To All Of Miami! |

Hi Plato's Closet! when my aunt told my mom and I about Plato's Closet I wasn't to sure about going shopping in a thrift store... But when I got there I was BLOWN AWAY! I've gotten such cute brand name clothes there! And i've always been a unique outfit maker and not many stores had the kind of stuff i was into.. But when i got there everything was so bright and "me"! I was so happy and didn't even spend a lot! The lady working there the most is so sweet and helpful! I love going there! Love you Platos! |

I actually am a huge fan of abercrombie and fitch. When I was told about a store that sold A&F clothes for not even half the price, I told myself that this is a joke. I then decided to take a trip to virginia to visit this awesome place. When I walked into the store I was amazed at what I saw. My absolute favorite brand of clothing for a whole lot less than what I usually pay. When I make a trip to virginia I always veer toward Plato's Closet to see what they will have for me. I still love the true A&F store, but always make my way right back into this wonderful awesome store. You guys are great. I am very glad that you are here in this area. I actually drive over an hour to get to your chesapeake store. Love the clothes and the employees. Wanted to say thank you to each and every one of the employees. I will be seeing you all again very soon. Megan from Outer Banks North Carolina |

When you're a broke 19 year old musician, it's tough to keep your swag on when you ain't got no money. PC is the connection between... the clothes you have and the clothes you WANNA have. Anytime I wanna update my wardrobe I go to Plato's... It's the best deal in town. |

My dad lost his job a couple months ago, and so it's my mom's job to put food on the table. We don't really have a lot of money to spend right now, but when my mom told me she had found an affordable store with cute name-brand clothing, I wanted to check it out! I walked in the store, and I was blown away by everything they had! And since it's such a good store, it was super busy. I found what I needed, and it was so cheap, too! Thank you, Plato's Closet, for giving me the chance to shop without feeling guilty about getting something really expensive and not needing it! (: |

I had gone to the Irving location and WOW! The store was AMAZING! All the purses were on one wall, all the shoes were grouped together by style, all the sizes were together. So much selection to chose from! LOVE THIS STORE! I live in Euless but would rather go to this store due to the different selection that they have to chose from. And it is so easy to find accessories. |

When a plato's closet first opened up right down the street from my house, I knew I had to check it out. I walked in expecting little to nothing (being a thrift store and all) and was absolutley astounded! The organization, employees, ability to sell my clothes there, and INCREDIBLE prices had me visiting there at least 2 x a month if not way more. Grab bag has me addicted to bargain shopping and I just adore the wide selection of shoes! Now I am appplying for a job at my fave clothing store so I can spread the savings joy!! |

I heard about Plato's Closet® on the radio but, never thought i would like it. Then I heard that the clothes are used so I thought it was like Goodwill or Salvation Army. My Mom said let's try it out. When we got to Plato's Closet® I loved the clothes!!! We even found stuff for my cousins! I ♥ Plato's Closet®!!!! ♥Jenna♥ |

At first i was a little sketchy about shopping in your store. But when i walked in and saw how adorable and not to mention cheap everything was, i wanted it all but i didnt have enough room in my closet for all of it. Platos is especially great for back to school shopping. Thanks platos! |

I love fashion--everything about it. A few of my favorite stores are h&m, forever 21, and wet seal. What I love about Plato's Closet is that they carry so many of the coolest clothes from all my favorite stores for a fraction of the price. Recently I got on a pair of forever 21 jeans, a dress, a wet seal top, an h&m top, a free people tank, and a gorgeous purple bag all for $60 at Plato's Closet. |

My name is Sara Shelton. I am 24 years old and I have a 10 month old daughter named Reagan. I was a size 2 before I had Reagan, but I walked out of the hospital a whopping size 12 after giving birth. Of course I worked hard to lose weight and along the way I sold clothes that didn't fit me to Platos Closet in Florence, KY. I also had to have clothes that fit me, so as I went from a size 12 to a 10 to an 8 to a 6 to a 4 and then FINALLY back to a 2, I shopped Plato's Closet to get the latest fashions for an affordable price. Thanks Plato's Closet for keeping my "lookin good" while I made my journey from "just had a baby" fat to "there's no way you had a baby a few moths ago" slim! |

Hey i'm Cloe and this is my plato's closet story. My two best friends had been shopping at plato's for years and I was a little sceptical when I heard it was used but the day after it opened I thought I'd give it a chance as soon as they opened one in my home town. That day I walked in to find five of my friends searching the racks at our new favorite store. This is jut one of my success stories at this awesome store. |

Well I was in Georgia visiting my brother, who just graduated from boot camp, and I did not pack enough clothes. When we picked up my brother, we went shopping and just walked around this shopping center. As we went around I saw a Plato's Closet and was like let's go in. Right when I got in I was like wow, name-brand stuff but at a good price. So that plato's closet changed my view of shopping for "name-brand" clothes. |

One day i was in the Woodlands and i seen a place called Plato's Closet and so i asked my mom what it was and she didn't know. Come to find out they have brand name clothes for cheap & they are very nice. The one i went to was very spacious & the employees were very nice and friendly. Plato's Closet is my new favorite place to shop. I think everyone should go to one just to try it out, i bet it'll be your favorite too. |

I just returned from my first trip to Plato's Closet, and I am extremely impressed! First off, the staff was incredibly helpful; one girl on the floor even complimented what I was wearing! I tried on several pieces, and at the end of my trip I got some AMAZING deals. The loot: A brand new pair of Ed Hardy sneakers for sixteen dollars, and a pair of BCBG skinny jeans in pristine condition for twenty dollars! Thanks, Plato's; I'm a customer for life! |

Hi! Plato...:) I'm Ana and I want to tell you my story, about how I found your store with my best friend Maya... We were shopping in Fredericksburg and I saw your store... I thought it was one more expensive store, but my friend told me that I wasn't right. And when I went in and I was convinced that my Friend was telling me the truth. And I liked everything... everything :) Your store is awesome... I love it and I'll always shop in your store :) because you have Victoria's Secret Pink's clothing which I love... And more cool stuff from cool brands :) This is my story :) Bye :) |

Ok so I first heard about Platos Closet from my old neighbors. They are a lot younger, but had strangely good fashion for their age, I mean, most 10 year olds don't wear Hollister. So I mean I didn't really think that they shopped there that it would be the coolest place to go. But I was bored 1 day (and in the area) so I walked in there with $20. I walked out with a new pair of shorts and 3 new shirts. I've gone back there all the time (though I have to travel a ways to get there). I got 3 of my friends hooked and we shop there almost every time we hang out! I just went back to school shopping there. $80 got me a dress, some shirts and tank tops, a pair of jeans, a pair of sweatpants, a pair of denim crops, a scarf and a sweet Billabong hat! I almost NEVER shop anywhere else! |
