Terry Ellis, owner of Consignment Crush, said she chose the name of her business for two reasons. She said she knew the word “consignment” had to be the first word of the name to result in frequent internet hits. The word “crush” she chose to explain the feeling people have when walking through her store and find themselves irresistibly attracted to an item.
Ellis and business associate Randy Jacobs were driving down Oak Street in downtown Frisco in The Rail District shopping area when they saw a quaint house that was zoned for commercial use and knew they had found the home for her business.
Ellis leased the six-bedroom house, complete with a spacious porch and garage, and opened her doors for business in February 2020.
“It’s so different to open a business when you have a pandemic,” Ellis said. “They would make an announcement on the news to stay home, and business would slow down.”
