worked here forever,” she said. “It’s so much fun for me, like being at a party, I just really like being here and working with the customers.”
Celebrating nine years in business, Ladies Plus Size Resale Shop, located in Arlington, maintains a focus on customer service that has set them apart from other resale shops in the area. Owner Michelle McKeehan credits her staff with making the store fun, creating customer appreciation days, and instore events like an Easter Egg Hunt. “My employees have the store and the customers’ best interests at heart,” she said. “They treat my customers just like I do.” Michelle added that she and her employees are very active in the store, interacting with the customers, and offering assistance. Julie Murphy said she has always worked in retail, and brings that experience to Ladies Plus Size Resale. And as a college student, she is able to interact with younger girls who need to save on their clothing costs. “I love working here,” she said. “Michelle works with my school schedule. Coming to work here is like being at home, it’s just a comfortable atmosphere.” Ladies Plus Size Resale makes it simple for the plus size woman to be stylish and current, carrying only the best products available through consignors and passing them onto you at a fraction of the cost.
Ladies Plus Size Resale has maintained a mission of doing “Everything with the plus size woman in mind.” Sizes range from 14 to 34, and 400 to 600 new pieces arrive each week, ensuring a premium selection created just for you. Michelle’s mother, Nellie Gutierrez, also works with her at the store. “A lot of the customers call me ‘mom,’” she said. “Michelle is very honest, that’s why she has been in business for nine years. I knew she was going to go far, because she had a lot of ambition growing up.” Michelle was recently featured as a mompreneur on Good Morning Texas, which included a fashion show of clothing from the store. She is selective in buying clothing for the store, noting that the better brands they carry include Anne Klein, Talbots, Coldwater Creek, Lane Bryant, Jones New York, and more. From casual wear to evening wear, as well as bedtime/lingerie wear, jewelry, uniforms, new/used handbags, new/used shoes and accessories. All clothing is sized and color coordinated, providing a fun, easy shopping experience. Come by and shop anytime, but please call ahead to sell items directly. Summer styles abound at Ladies Plus Size Resale Shop, located at 5975 S. Cooper Street in Arlington. Shop, sell or consign today, 817-557-8087. Visit us online at www.ladiesplussizeresale.com.
