February 10, 2022 - 10:00am Plato’s Closet, the leading teen and young adult retail resale concept, has announced the grand opening of its location in Carson City located at the Carson Mall, 1305 S Carson Street. The brand is known for its affordable, gently used clothing, shoes, accessories and more, which provides local teens and twenty-somethings with a store that not only puts cash back into their pockets, but sells gently used brand name items for less.
With a focus on being a sustainable shopping resource, the new Plato’s Closet in Carson City opens on Thursday, Feb. 10. Plato’s Closet is part of Winmark — the Resale Company, a unique national retail resale franchise that focuses on sustainability, small business formation and providing Resale for Everyone.

Elaine Barkdull Spencer will bring Carson City residents a sustainable shopping option that provides a variety of styles for teens and young adults. Barkdull Spencer has a background in business support and management and has owned and operated several businesses. With history in chamber management, business management, and economic development, she decided to take on a new venture to better serve and contribute to the area with Plato’s Closet.
“The reduce, reuse, and recycle message really resonated with us as we began to look for an opportunity to benefit Carson City,” Barkdull Spencer said. “The community has expressed their excitement for having a local Plato’s Closet and I am looking forward to building a loyal and consistent clientele that will sell and buy their gently used clothing, shoes, and accessories at our new locally owned store.”
Winmark’s resale concepts allow for gently used clothing and accessories to end up in someone else’s closet rather than thrown into a landfill, providing a resource for shoppers who are looking to update their closet in a mindful environmental manner.
Unlike a typical consignment store, no appointment is necessary to sell clothing and accessories to Plato’s Closet. Customers can achieve savings up to 70 percent off trendy, brand name clothing and accessories and receive cash on the spot for gently used items that are outgrown or no longer wanted.
