CHILLIWACK – A retail franchise that purchases and sells gently used attire, shoes and accessories is set to open its doors in Chilliwack next week.

According to a social media ad from the company, Plato’s Closet, with more than 500-plus locations across North America, will open next Thursday, April 30 at 2-45676 Yale Road.

Grand opening festivities will continue through to Sunday, May 3, the company said.

The first 25 people in line on Thursday, Apr. 30 will receive a $25 gift card to shop.

“Get ready to shop must-have styles and earn cash for your gently used clothes & accessories,” the Facebook ad said.

Plato’s Closet is part of the Minneapolis, Minnesota-based Winmark corporate banner.

Plato’s Closet says it buys all types of clothing from customers to help reduce the amount of clothing usually headed to the landfill.

“We buy styles for all seasons, all day, every day, with no appointment necessary. Each Plato’s Closet location is individually owned and operated by local business owners, so you can feel good about shopping small,” Plato’s Closet wrote on its website.

The closest Plato’s Closet location to Chilliwack in the Fraser Valley is in Abbotsford, located at 34150 South Fraser Way, unit 2B. Its hours are 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Chilliwack’s hours could mirror those of the Abbotsford Plato’s Closet.
