Best Clothing Store: Crossroads Trading Company

Olivia Alexander, Assistant City Editor

Looking for a fresh new fit? Affordable accessories? A last minute formal dress? Look no further than Crossroads Trading, a clothing resale store located in the heart of Downtown Evanston. 

With more than 30 locations across the United States, Crossroads sells new and used clothes. One of three stores in the Chicago area, the Evanston location is at 1730 Sherman Ave. and open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. 

For those looking to shop, Crossroads offers trendy looks. At the store, you can find matching rings for you and your best friend or perfectly worn Levis.

As a second-hand retailer, the store commits to sustainability in fashion. By selling and shopping at Crossroads, customers help keep clothes out of the landfill. 

When trading at Crossroads, you’ll either receive store credit or cash. The business pays 50% in credit of the price the items are sold in the store and 30% in cash. Crossroads looks for clothes that are clean, current and in good condition. Look to the selling guide for more information. 

Customers should only bring laundered items to sell at the store. Store employees evaluate and price clothing on the spot, and sellers will receive payment right away. You must be 18 years old, or accompanied by an adult with a valid photo ID to sell. 

Follow the Chicago area stores on Instagram at @crossroads_midwest, and don’t be afraid to stop in. You’re more than likely to find something spectacular.
