Plato's Closet to host ‘Take What You Need' event
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Over the past few months, Plato's Closet has been putting clothes aside for their upcoming 'Take What You Need' event on May 22nd. 'Basically, we will open the doors at 9 a.m. We're expecting a bit of a line, I would say, so we're going to have donuts and things for people who are waiting before the doors open. But we're open at nine. People will come in. We're going to have all these bins that are organized by size to make it easier for people to shop for the bins and find what they actually need,' said Mikki Fitzer, co-owner of Plato's Closet in Sioux Falls. Fatal tractor crash near Aberdeen The store is partially crediting a comeback in thrifting for those expected long lines. 'I just feel like second hand, when I was a kid, it was like kind of shamed upon. But now it's, like, exciting to find good deals. And we always have a variety of things out for customers,' said Amanda Schaefers, assistant manager of Plato's Closet. The idea for the event came from wanting to give back to customers, but this isn't the only way the business is making a difference. 'We've given back to the Humane Society, the Children's Home Shelter, we're going to walk in the Avera Race Against Cancer next weekend. So, this is just something that we've never done before. And we thought, well, you know, we've gotten so much love from the community. We want to be able to support the families that support us,' said Fitzer. Another reason they're expecting long lines is that it takes place the day after school ends in the Sioux Falls School District. 'Just seeing the excitement, people coming in. It's kind of like Black Friday for us. So, seeing the lines and the people excited to see what they can find and the bargain. And free is always great,' said Schaefers.
