At Style Encore, consumers can expect a wide selection of the latest styles in casual and business attire at great prices, from leading brands such as Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Chico’s, Coach, Gap, Talbots, Lululemon and White House Black Market, among others. Unlike a typical consignment store, no appointment is necessary to sell clothing and accessories. Customers can achieve savings of up to 90 per cent off trendy, brand-name clothing and accessories and receive cash on the spot for gently used items that are outgrown or no longer wanted.
“Women like to have trendy, fashionable pieces in their closet for every occasion, so our goal is to make Style Encore the preferred store for bargain hunters and those who are environmentally conscious,” said Jennifer Azevedo. “Style Encore provides women the resource to sell items they no longer wear, get paid cash on the spot and then turn around and purchase new items at a tremendous value – up to 90 per cent off regular retail prices.”
Winmark’s resale concepts allow gently used clothing and accessories to end up in someone else’s closet rather than thrown into a landfill, providing a resource for shoppers looking to update their closet in a mindful environmental manner.
