Great place to buy nice used clothing . Tho they got alittle pricey . You always can take clothing in and have them sale it on consignment . I have taken things in that sold and made a little money and usually turn around and bought something else . They have a large selection of clothes and a pretty large space . They have the clothes arranged nicely. Nothing junky about it .

I feel I can give an educated review since I'm a consignment store junkie. I try and hit one everytime I travel. I think Second Chance is awesome. I love that their inventory runs the gamut from luxury brands to juniors and that these areas are separated. The clothes are in good to amazing condition and most notably, the prices are fair. As some reviewers have noted, the owner may not be Ms. Warm and fuzzy but allow us our quirks, people! I think everyone is nice and I don't need to be greeted the door for heavens sakes. I think we are lucky to have such a great place to hunt in Columbus, Ohio! Keep it up, Second Chance!

Let me begin by saying HOLY CRAP! I had not been to Second Chance for years. If memory serves me correctly, it used to be located across the street in a MUCH smaller storefront. It was cramped and rather dank smelling. However, I had remained on their mailing list years after moving to the other side of town and having not returned.So when their President's Day sale came around, I was off work, and I needed a few items, I decided to drive over and check them. First, I couldn't find them since they moved. Next, their parking lot was jammed which should have been a sign. Finally, their size and all the people inside were overwhelming.I need to level set my expectations here. I'm the type of person who absolutely HATES department stores. In them, if you're looking for a red sweater, for example, you have to look in 12 different departments as they are organized by brand/label. I prefer to have all red sweaters put together on one rack - preferably organized by size. Lucky for me, other thrift stores (i.e. Goodwill, TJ Maxx, Marshalls) uses this system. Second Chance, however, does not.I perused the entire store, looking for brown boots, ankle height and also a black winter coat. I found neither. I didn't do a lot of looking at prices, but the ones I did see seemed to be in line with other second hand stores.After I left, I went over to Clothes Mentor. It was much smaller, less crowded and more my speed. Unfortunately, I found nothing there either.

One of my favorite Columbus consignment stores. The clothes they sell have been carefully curated and are of good quality, and at the same time they have many to choose from. The store is organized well with good signage, and they have a variety of sizes to choose from. I found several great things here - I have had the most success when looking for dresses and tops. They also have plenty of dressing rooms, so you rarely have to wait.I recommend signing up for their rewards program as well, which is now electronic and easier to manage.You can park in the street, but they also have a good amount of spaces on the side of the building.

I think I agree with both the positive and the negative reviews. The selection of clothes here is huge, diverse, and fabulous, but the customer service is completely non-existent. Do not expect a friendly greeting...or any greeting...when you shop here. If you can get past that, this is a shoppers paradise and I have found several treasures.

Style! This consignment shop has everything from clothes, jewelry, purses, shoes and more. A variety of sizes. I wear petite size clothes and I found 3 items to purchase! The merchandise is well displayed and marked. There are 2 separate locations for the dressing rooms and 2 separate places to make your purchases. They also take your merchandise to sell. I did not use this service. The staff is friendly and helpful. Not sure if there is men clothes. Stop in often because the inventory changes!

The saying "shop till you drop" fits perfectly for this place. The location, prices & selections are way above average. Oh, and none of that weird funky odor you find at most of these types of stores. Second Chance offers great retail therapy and alternative shopping for the ladies and girls. Over the past few years it has grown to include 3 store fronts. So, don't be confused by the 3 entrances. Each is connected to the other and are separated in themes only: Juniors, Women and high end Designer. There is so much to go through you can easily spend a couple of hours here. They have some comfy chairs and sofas throughout if you want to take a break. Also, I'm glad there are two free parking areas on each side allocated for customers.Once inside you will find brand names such as Eddie Bauer, Chicos, J Crew, Armani, St. John, Ivanka Trump, just to name a few. They have all kinds of accessories, outerwear, athletic wear, dresses, whatever you may be thinking you want. Some items are even brand new, with the original tags included. There are really some great finds for all occasions. One of my favorite finds were a pair of spats that had never been worn! Just so you know, it seems, they have phased out the "vintage" clothing. On the other hand, the Plus size section appears to have expanded.So, you can bring in your items for consignment. I have found they can be pretty selective on what they will accept, which is sometimes a pain in the butt. You will have a better chance with brand names and rarely worn items. Just saying. (If they don't take your things, there is a Goodwill a block down where you can donate instead.) I do like the store offers a punch card that when filled can be used for 20% off your next purchase. If after all that shopping, you have worked up an appetite, or just plain thirsty, it's great Jimmy V's and the Twisted Vine are just across the street.

Great consignment store! Lots of clothing separated into teens, adults, and designer areas. Also have some racks organized by brand. I primarily shop teen and this section featured Urban Outfitters, Zara, Free People, and Anthropologie as brands. Prices are higher than a thrift store as expected but not outrageous.
