Gray Willow Fashion Exchange

Note: Gray Willow is going back to being a popup consignment shop as of November 26. I’m a little disappointed about this because my daughter and I found some great bargains in the store, but not to worry – they’ll have popup sales next year, as early as April 2018.

Not many stores can help you make a little bit of money as well as save you money, but Goodwill’s new consignment store in Towne West Square Mall does just that!

Gray Willow Fashion Exchange opened as a temporary popup store earlier this year, and now it’s back as a permanent consignment shop with amazing deals on designer and brand-name fashion and decor.

It’s the first Goodwill sponsored consignment store in the entire country! The boutique-style shop features high-quality men’s and women’s clothing, shoes, accessories, handbags, and household decor at great prices.

The new store is open during mall hours on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On the last weekend of the month, select items will be reduced to half price. (Heads up! The last weekend of September is fast approaching!)

Unlike traditional Goodwill stores that sell donated items, Gray Willow is a consignment store. Consignors price their items to sell and receive 50% of the proceeds, less a $10 consignor fee. So that Ann Taylor dress hanging in the back of your closet? You might want to bring that in and use the proceeds to build up your clothing budget. This way, you’ll still be helping to support the education and job training programs Goodwill provides to people who need them, but you’ll have a little bit of spending money too.

And that money will go a long way at Gray Willow, where you’ll be able to shop for work clothes, trendy outfits, and stylish accessories as well as home decor.

Existing Goodwill retail stores will continue to accept donations as usual, and you’ll still be able to treasure-hunt for brand name and quality items in their stores. But the Gray Willow concept is a welcome addition to our bargain-hunting rotation – especially during those half-price sales the last weekend of every month!
