The new Style Encore in Chattanooga is opening Thursday Jan. 7, at 2200 Hamilton Place Blvd. Designed by women, for women, Style Encore is part of a national resale chain that specializes in clothing and accessories. The store buys and sells gently-used, clothing, shoes, handbags, and accessories, among other items.
“Women like to have trendy, fashionable pieces in their closet for every occasion, so our goal is to make Style Encore the preferred store for fashionistas, bargain hunters and those who are recycling-conscious,” said Kurt Morris, who co-owns the Style Encore Chattanooga with his brother Ken Morris. “Style Encore provides women the resource to sell items they no longer wear, get paid cash on the spot and then turn around and purchase new items at a tremendous value – up to 70 percent off regular retail prices.”
At Style Encore, consumers can expect a selection of the latest styles in casual and business attire from brands such as Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Chico’s, Coach, Gap, Talbots, The Limited and White House Black Market, among others. Kurt Morris added, “When you shop at Style Encore, you won’t feel like you’re in a resale shop. Sure, all the merchandise is different, but the store has a relaxed, fresh feel that you won’t find in any other secondhand retailer. Plus, we’ve organized our new Style Encore by size and color, so it’s easy to come in and find great deals.”
Unlike typical consignment stores, consumers can sell their gently-used items all day, every day at Style Encore and receive cash on the spot. Plus, no appointment is needed to sell items at the location. Style Encore buys and sells items in "great condition that are a current style," meaning they have been sold in stores in the past couple years.
The Chattanooga Style Encore is open from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 12-5 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, visit http://www.style-encorechattanooga.com/ or call 661-3400.
