Remedies Resale & Services

I wanted to like it more. I love my neighborhood, but the one thing we are really missing within walking distance is a clothing shop. My friends would be surprised, but I buy as many of my clothes resale as I can. So when I saw Remedies, I made a mental not to check it out on a kid free day.Now, I was conflicted about the star rating. I like my resale, well curated. Thoughtfully selected, high quality pieces that I know will last even though I am their second (or third) owner. Remedies is not that. Most of the items are big box store or anchor store brands, i.e. Macy's, Walmart, JCPenney, Sears, etc. with some teen brands thrown in. Flipping through the jeans section the highest quality pair I found were from Banana Republic and there was only one pair of those. I know I am being highly critical, but that is because with resale you have to be. You have to know your brands and what they are worth, in order to not waste your money. I think this could be a cute and popular store with some editing. It looks more thrift store, than resale now. As if they aren't choosing pieces so much as taking donations. It look cluttered and unorganized as you walk in. So even arranging things by color as well as size would make it more appealing.I really wanted to be able to give them 3-stars because I love my neighbors, I love small businesses, I want them to succeed.  But I also can't lie and say I will be back very often. I will check up occasionally and update.
