Kimberly Smith became the owner of clothing consignment and resale store Retail Therapy to offer in-style fashions and accessories to women and children of all sizes, and now uses her business as a way of giving back.
"It's recycling," Smith said. "For us, it is a huge part of giving back to the community. Women's clothing is our bread and butter, but we have a huge formal department and [it] keeps growing and growing."
Retail Therapy focuses on resale clothing for women and children, but it also has a wide selection of shoes, accessories, plus-size and maternity clothing, and a competitive array of formal wear available, which contain some of the more popular items, Smith said. In recent years, the offerings for children's clothes and formal wear have increased exponentially, which led to a remodel and expansion in 2009. Now, dresses range from cocktail to evening to summer, and clothes are available for children from newborns to size 16.
For Smith, a business—regardless of the product—is only as good as the customer service offered.
