Top-Performing Women’s Resale Clothing Franchise Earns Spot on Franchise Times’ Annual Ranking of More Than 500 Franchise Systems
(MINNETONKA, Minn.) – Clothes Mentor, NTY Franchise Company’s national women’s resale clothing franchise headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is celebrating their inclusion in Franchise Times Top 200+® 2018 list. The annual ranking measures systemwide sales and units of the largest 500 U.S.-based franchise brands. It is the second national honor for Clothes Mentor this year, following their inclusion in Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500 in January.
“It’s always an honor to be recognized by leading franchise media outlets like Franchise Times,” NTY Franchise Company COO Chad Olson said. “We’re very proud of the Clothes Mentor brand.”
Clothes Mentor was NTY Franchise Company’s first brand, launched when the company purchased the franchising rights in 2007. The resale designer clothing franchise has seen tremendous growth over the last three years, opening 38 new units around the United States since 2015. Clothes Mentor specializes in buying and selling like-new designer clothing, shoes and accessories for women.
Clothes Mentor jumped 11 spots from their position on the 2017 list, thanks to robust sales of more than $84 million from their 145 nationwide stores. Thanks to their community-friendly resale model, Clothes Mentor has successfully recycled more than 42 million items of mall brand and designer clothing; and paid women more than $172 million for their gently-used items since 2007.
“Clothes Mentor is leading the $17 billion resale industry today because we offer high quality, gently-used clothing for a fraction of their retail price, but we also put money in the pockets local families when we buy their gently-used items and donate their items we don’t buy to local charities,” Olson explained.
The Franchise Times Top 200+ is published in the October issue and available in a searchable database online. Along with measuring systemwide sales and units, it also analyzes industry sectors based on percentage change in sales growth, reports the 10 fastest growing franchises by four different measures, and includes exclusive news stories about the biggest names in franchising. The rankings and full report, and the searchable online database, are available at www.franchisetimes.com.
