CLAY — The local franchisees of Clothes Mentor, a national chain that buys and sells used women’s clothing from brand-name designers, have opened a second Onondaga County location at 4138 State Route 31 in Clay.
Joseph and Cynthia Giannuzzi also operate a store in DeWitt, which they opened in 2010, according a company news release issued on Wednesday.
“We’re a totally different form of shopping,” Joseph and Cynthia Giannuzzi, store owners, said in the release. “We fit the growing style, brand and value consciousness of Syracuse women who love fashion and adore 70 percent savings. Equally important, customers selling us quality, good-condition merchandise receive immediate cash, not a consignment form.”
