Such a cute place and the service is second to none... definitely a place to add to your list!

They gave a snarky comment back saying that closed an hour before and all dresses were final sale. They said they closed 35-60 minutes before closing and it was exactly 7. We did end up purchasing a dress by putting them over the clothes but a massive inconvenience especially in the way they went about it. It was also very dirty and the floor was disgusting. The selection was decent and the prices were not bad. Overall the workers were very snarky and didn't approach the situation well. Overall would not recommended unless this is your last resort.

I was so impressed that she could remember what I like since it has been well over a year since I have been in.

My brother and I went out of our way to shop here on our recent visit home exclusively because of this Platos' Instagram posts- we saw so many great new stocked items, quality brands and huge selection and had to go back! It had been a while since we'd been in, and let me tell you - the selection and quality of this Plato's is way better than the ones we've been to in MN. This store is so HUGE, bright and airy, and they have it organized perfectly so you know exactly where to find things. We didn't sell this time, but there was literally a line the minute they opened for folks to sell, and more kept coming. I've seen them end buying early on some days and announce it online because I'm sure they get so many interested in selling. Sellers, remember: they don't HAVE to take your clothes, and they are picky for a reason! Don't expect to make your money back on what you bought years ago and then wore a ton :) I found some great pairs of shoes: cute clogs for $12, sandals for $8, like new Nikes for $30, and a sports tank for $6. My brother found a pair of brand new Adidas for $35 and a tee for $6. I could have spent way longer there looking through the clothes but we were on a bit of a time crunch. Give yourself 1-2+ hours here to look through everything! I loved their Instagram rack of things they'd featured, and they had so many great shoes, bags, swimsuits, and sportswear that interested me. Highly recommend - and can't recommend shopping secondhand enough! Reduce fast fashion and clothing waste, give items a new life, and save yourself money :)

The stuff left in the bag was a lululemon shirt, lululemon shorts, scrubs, dresses, garage sweatpants and a shirt, and two nike hoodies. I'm very annoyed and disappointed with Plato's closet. My wait time was supposed to be 2 hours and pick up at 4:15, it is 6:00 and I just picked up my full bag of clothes untouched. To improve, I think maybe don't take Hello Kitty Cowboy Boots and stained SHEIN shit or stop wasting peoples time.
