Big Gal’s Consignment

I went there today on my lunch break and wasn’t very impressed.
Their selection felt a lot like «Goodwill». The only store employee working made me feel a little weird. She seemed to always have an eye on me, in a very obvious way. Also, the store employee acted a little snooty to this mother of two kids who was trying to give her some clothes to sell. She scolded the woman’s kids, and made the woman feel bad for bringing in clothes because I guess you have to make an appointment to bring in anything, and I guess they’re booked out 6 weeks… im not sure why though, because their store was empty and their selection was lacking fashionable clothing options.
I found some things I liked though, and after I tried them on, I was kind of surprised looking at the price tag. WAY over priced for a used clothing store. I ended up leaving with just one shirt. I told the woman that I would’ve bought more but that their clothes are a bit spendy for used stuff. She told me that the shirt I bought was Liz Clayborne, and that was why, but the rest of the stuff I put back was all in the same price range, but not from nice clothing stores.

They definitely cater to big gals, the smallest size was 1x, all the way to 6x that I saw. Very good customer service. Only negative was their operating hours. 11am to 5:30pm.

My mom sells quite a bit of stuff through here so I have to go and help her pick up and drop off stuff every few weeks. The store is a decent sized store. I have no personal experience about buying anything but my mom shops here a bit for her and my sister. The store always seems clean and fairly organized (which I would think it would have to be since its a consignment shop).
