Invest in Yourself – And Your Community!

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

Local Community Impact

Uptown Cheapskate stores serve a vital role in their communities, allowing local families to get cash for clothes they no longer use and purchase the next set of items they need for 50-70%+ off original retail. This service can be an especially valuable lifeline during challenging economic periods.

Uptown stores also provide meaningful employment opportunities and are fun, vibrant places for people to interact and express themselves.

Giving Clothes Second Life

Since inception, Uptown Cheapskate and its sister brand, Kid to Kid, have kept over 225 million articles of clothing out of landfills. Extending the life of millions of garments helps promote a cleaner environment for future generations and makes it easy to feel good about growing our business.

“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 an important part of our culture at Uptown Cheapskate. Through Charity Fill-A-Bag sales and other community events, our stores support a wide range of charitable causes every year.

As just one example, our brands have partnered with buildOn, an organization that builds much-needed schools in developing countries. Since we began working with buildOn, our stores have funded more than 20 schools around the world. Collectively, these schools provide thousands of children with access to education for the first time.
