Out with the old & in with the new!

Ah! Spring has finally sprung in Iowa. At least, I think this time its going to stick. So now a great time to get out and brush off the winter duldrums and more importantly dig through you closet to see what still fits for spring. If- like us- you over indulged in comfort food, bring your clean, gently used items to us and we will sell them.

Items we are looking for:

  • Shorts
  • Lightweight jackets

 

As always- check out sign out front for more wanted items. We look forward to seeing you soon!

New Year and a New You!

January is the time when most people take stock in themselves. They set New Year’s resolutions (which 4/5 will break) and they set goals. I like this time of year. Its a chance to reflect back on your accomplishments from the previous year and look forward to what will be. That being said- its time to go through your closets and see what is missing. Consignment stores -including ours- are packed with great items and unbelievable deals.

So if your in town, take a moment to stop in and say hi! We will probably be moving the store around or checking in new merchandise but we are always happy to see old friends and new ones come by!

Every gift has a story

We have some truly remarkable consignors. Each time they bring in new items to the store I love to hear about the history attached to it. It’s even more fun when I get to pass that story along to the new owner.

This holiday season it will be real easy to go buy an item from a big box store and call it a present. But a real gift is finding something unique, something that has a story attached to it. The possibilities are endless. During this season of giving, visit a consignment store and find a unique treasure for someone that you care about.

Give them a gift, not just a present.

How we keep you safe

By now you have probably heard of bed bugs. And perhaps thought twice about shopping at a consignment store. At Twice Around the Block our policy has been to always take only clean, freshly laundered clothes.

Because of our consignment policy we have never had a bed bug problem and never will.

We carefully inspect each and every item that we take in because you, the customer, matters most. We won’t sell anything to you that we wouldn’t buy ourself.

Rest assured that when you shop at Twice Around the Block you will not only receive the highest customer service, but the best quality merchandise possible.

Fall is in the air!

This is some crazy weather we having, right? First, its hot then its cold. All this up and down in temperature further solidifies for me how important it is to shop at a consignment store to stay current and comfortable.

That is what its all about right? Staying current and comfortable.

So until mother nature figures out if she wants fall to arrive or not, take a minute this weekend and pop by to see all the things for fall that are arriving. And if you have some items that are in your way, bring those too!
