Uptown Cheapskate Franchise Model Overview
Uptown Cheapskate stores buy gently used brand-name clothing and accessories from teens and young adults in the community and resell them at a steep discount to new retail, supplemented by a smaller line of new merchandise. A typical store is about 5,000 square feet in a community shopping center, staffed with hourly employees who appraise, tag and hang thousands of items. The investment is mid-six figures, driven by leasehold improvements, fixtures, a required BaseCamp point-of-sale and appraisal software suite, and an opening inventory that takes weeks to build. Sales are seasonal, peaking at back-to-school and spring. The owner must work in the store full time for the first six months, after which a trained manager may run it. The franchisor is part of BaseCamp, which also runs the sister Kid to Kid brand, and the system has grown steadily over the last three years. Buyers of an existing store must still meet minimum reopening advertising spend.
