Plato's Closet

I was greeted as I walked into the store and the staff engaged in conversation. Everything was well organized from size/style/color and very clean.

I should have read the reviews before I went. It’s nice to see I’m not the only one who had a problem with the employees. No one welcomed me or said hello when I walked in which made the transaction extremely awkward and the reasoning for not taking any of my items was odd. I only agreed with them in the moment to be polite but I did not feel like I was treated with an equal level of respect. This was my first and last time at a Plato’s Closet.

I am a mid 30s mom looking for non old lady clothes and I love the selection here. Prices are great. Store organized well. I always find something I like. Staff is very courteous. I feel like I can refresh my wardrobe often and not spend a ton of money. Thank you!

I’ve been to a couple of Platos Closets, and this Lakeland location by far has had the most and best clothing/ products I’ve seen. I was pretty impressed on my first visit, they really have a lot here. Even their shoes have some highly regarded brands like Jordan, Nike, Adidas, etc. I’ve found some pretty nice stuff I wear a lot and got for a ridiculously low price. Something that’s also cool about Platos is you have the opportunity to donate your own clothes and they will pay you cash if they want anything. In the past at other locations this has worked fairly well for me, so I decided to try it again here after cleaning out my closet. My friend and I took almost a full bin of stuff there to try and sell. I was hoping we’d at least make maybe $30 with what we had, because we had some good brands that Platos is known for selling, like American Eagle, Loft, Victoria’s Secret and more.. You check in to sell stuff all online and that went smoothly, but when we came back, they took 2 things. 2 things out of an entire bin, and gave us $7 for them. I was stunned. It seemed pretty ridiculous to me. I will probably never try to sell clothes here again because they probably won’t take anything nor will I get a price that’s even worth the few items they may want. Another issue is the workers. I read reviews of Platos prior to coming and so many of them complained about the workers. I tried coming in unbiased to see if maybe I’d have a different opinion, but unfortunately I did not. It’s just a lot of young kids there to get a check, and they are pretty unprofessional and rude. It’s all very unfortunate because the idea of Platos Closet- buying and selling cool brands second hand at really affordable prices- is such an awesome mission and I love it. But locations like this where the workers are disrespectful really bring down the name Platos has worked so hard to build. I’ll probably still come back here once in a while and sift through stuff because the prices just can’t be beat, but I am mightily disappointed at the overall experience every time here.
