How To Open a Franchise Clothing Store
According to the National Association of Resale and Thrift Shops, the resale and consignment industry in the United States generated approximately $17.5 billion in revenue in 2018. Over the last few years and throughout the pandemic, circular economy retailers and upscale clothing stores have continued to experience dramatic industry growth. As a result, the secondhand luxury apparel industry is expected to reach $51 billion by 2023. Opening a designer consignment store is the perfect way to take advantage of this growing market and transform your love for fashion into a lucrative business opportunity. Whether you have a flair for design or a passion for selling, a franchise clothing store offers the ideal opportunity to take the next step in your career.
