A lot has changed in the last year 🏡 ✨ One thing hasn't.

When we compared nearly 1 million items priced across TWO years of data, one number stood out:

14¢ 🔍

That's the average increase in our selling price per gently used item.

While we've expanded into a beautiful +7,000 sq. ft. store, grown our team to more than 30 employees, and continued putting nearly $1 million back into local families' pockets every year, our commitment to value hasn't changed.

Built bigger. Still built for families. 💙
