Tucked into a busy retail stretch near Interstate 85, Uptown Cheapskate Greenville gives fashion-forward shoppers in the Upstate a place to buy and sell trendy clothing without paying full retail or waiting weeks for a consignment check. The store sits at 1451 Woodruff Road, Suite Q, Greenville, SC 29607, a location convenient to shoppers coming from Mauldin, Simpsonville, and Greer as well as Greenville proper, and it stocks racks of gently used athletic wear, dresses, graphic tees, jackets, jeans, purses, shoes, shorts, skirts, and tops sourced directly from local sellers.
Rather than working through a slow consignment process, Uptown Cheapskate runs on a buy-sell-trade model: customers bring in clothing, the team reviews it on the spot while the seller continues browsing the store, and payment is made immediately, either as cash or as store credit worth 25 percent more than the cash offer. That same-day payout is a meaningful difference from traditional consignment shops, where sellers often wait weeks or months and only get paid if an item actually sells. It also means the sales floor turns over constantly with real, current styles rather than aging inventory, since new items are arriving from local closets every day the store is open.
The brand mix leans toward labels that shoppers in their teens, twenties, and thirties actually wear day to day: Nike, Adidas, Lululemon, The North Face, Levis, Coach, Free People, Madewell, Urban Outfitters, Brandy Melville, Hollister, American Eagle, Anthropologie, Athleta, Champion, Dr. Martens, Gymshark, H and M, Tommy Hilfiger, New Balance, Nordstrom, Obey, Old Navy, Pac Sun, Reformation, Vans, Veja, Vuori, and Zara, among others. That range lets the store serve everyone from a college student rebuilding a wardrobe on a budget to a shopper hunting for a specific pair of Dr. Martens or a barely worn Lululemon jacket at a fraction of the original price.
Store hours run Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., while the window for selling clothing is slightly shorter, Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., so sellers hoping to cash in a bag of clothes should plan to arrive within that buying window rather than right before closing. As a franchise location, Uptown Cheapskate Greenville is part of a national brand that has landed on Entrepreneur Magazines Franchise 500 list for nine consecutive years and earned a multi-year Best in Category recognition, a track record that reflects a business model shoppers have kept coming back to well beyond the Greenville store itself.
For anyone in Greenville looking to refresh a closet with current, name-brand styles at resale prices, or to turn last seasons clothes into same-day cash, Uptown Cheapskate on Woodruff Road offers a fast, no-appointment alternative to traditional thrift and consignment shopping, buying and selling trendy apparel from popular brands seven days a week.
