A new resale shop
Uptown Cheapskate, a new resale clothing store, is celebrating its grand opening today at 6 p.m. near the Gateway Shopping Center at 200 South and 353 West. Uptown Cheapskate is part of the company that created the successful children-oriented resale chain Kid to Kid. Uptown Cheapskate buys and sells men and women's clothing, shoes and accessories. I think their timing couldn't be better, given the state of the economy. Buying secondhand — whether at garage sales or secondhand shops — can save a lot of money.

That store is awesome - it's really close to Gateway and they've got tonz of good stuff priced cheap. It definitely is a great place to shop.

Uptown Cheapskate is owned by a couple of cheapskates that have pushed many Kid To Kid franchisees into bankruptcy. How they’ve avoided bankruptcy themselves is beyond me. There are many alternatives to Uptown Cheapskate that fill the same niche market in a more honorable and honest manner.
