Twenty one years is a long run for any small retailer, and On Second Thought Consignment has used that time to grow from a modest storefront into what is now a ten thousand square foot destination at 201 Gristmill Drive in Forest, serving the greater Lynchburg area. The shop specializes in gently used women’s clothing and accessories alongside home decor and furniture, giving shoppers a reason to browse for both a new outfit and a piece for the living room in the same visit. Name recognizable labels turn up regularly on the racks, including Ann Taylor, Talbot’s, and Chico’s, priced well below their original retail cost, which has helped the shop build a loyal following among Lynchburg area shoppers who want recognizable quality without paying full price. That loyalty shows up in more than repeat visits. Lynchburg Living Magazine readers have voted On Second Thought Best Consignment Shop on a regular basis, a recurring honor that reflects sustained community trust rather than a single good year. The business only recently moved into its current Gristmill Drive location after spending its first two decades at a previous address, and the much larger new space has allowed it to display significantly more inventory across clothing, accessories, furniture, and home decor at once, an expansion made possible by the steady growth of its consignor base over the years. For sellers, the shop offers a straightforward, transparent arrangement, splitting sale proceeds fifty fifty with consignors and keeping accepted items on the floor for sixty days before they are cycled out, giving pieces a fair chance to sell while still keeping the inventory fresh for repeat shoppers. Drop offs are accepted Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a limit of twenty items per visit to keep the intake process orderly for staff and consignors alike. Shoppers can visit six days a week, with the store open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., making it easy to build a stop at On Second Thought into a regular errand routine rather than treating it as an occasional destination. Forest sits just outside Lynchburg proper, and the shop’s location makes it a natural stop for shoppers across Bedford County and the wider central Virginia region who are looking for an alternative to buying new, whether that means a work blazer, a piece of jewelry, or a dresser for a spare room. The combination of a genuine two decade plus history, a recent move into significantly larger quarters, and consistent recognition from a respected local publication sets On Second Thought apart from newer or smaller resale shops that have not yet built the same track record with the community. For anyone in the Lynchburg area looking to consign gently used women’s clothing or furniture, or simply to shop name brand secondhand finds at a fraction of retail prices, On Second Thought Consignment offers two decades of local trust backed by a newly expanded, ten thousand square foot showroom on Gristmill Drive.
