Naperville entrepreneur Elaine Krieger opened her eighth resale clothing franchise in 10 years, and she said she is “surprised” at how quickly her own empire developed.
Saturday, she held a grand opening for Clothes Mentor, 582 S. Route 59 in Naperville, which sells designer-name clothing, shoes and accessories, selected for quality and condition.
Krieger first thought about used clothing years ago when she walked into a Once Upon a Child store.
“About 10 years ago, I was involved in some corporate restructuring in the business world when I was basically forced out,” Krieger said. “I wasn’t sure what I would do with myself, but one day I was grocery shopping and I walked into this used kids’ clothing store, saw the prices and the value and was just overwhelmed. My husband and I decided soon after to open a franchise in Joliet, and we’ve added seven more stores since.
