Invest in Yourself – And Your Community!

With Uptown, our franchise owners have the opportunity to make a positive, lasting impact that extends well beyond the four walls of their stores.

Local Community Impact

Uptown Cheapskate stores are often bedrocks of their local communities, providing meaningful employment opportunities and delivering a combination of quality and accessibility that few retailers can rival. During challenging economic times, our stores can also be an important financial lifeline for our customers, helping individuals and families stretch their paychecks further.

Giving Clothes A Second Life

Since inception, Uptown Cheapskate and its sister brand, Kid to Kid, have kept over 225 million articles of clothing out of landfills. These efforts help ensure a healthier, cleaner future for generations to come. Here are just a few stats that help explain why more and more people are turning to resale for all of their apparel needs:

“There is a high cost for shopping new and customers are waking up to the fact that fast-fashion brands are big polluters. Oil is the #1 polluting industry in the world, and fashion is #2. By shopping in our stores, customers are not only able to look good and save money, but also help support the environment.”

Commitment To Philanthropy

Philanthropy is a big part of the Uptown Cheapskate DNA. Through our Charity Fill-A-Bag and other community events, our stores support a wide array of charitable causes every year. As just one example, our stores have been strong advocates of buildOn, an organization that builds schools in developing countries. Since we began our partnership with buildOn, our stores have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and funded more than 20 schools. Collectively, these 20+ schools have provided thousands of children with access to education for the first time.
