New consignment sale to cater to tweens, teens

There's a new consignment sale in town and this one is for tweens and teens.

"Personally, I have gotten tired of sorting through a ton of stuff I already have or no longer need," Persson tells me.

Persson has a nine-year-old daughter who is the size of some middle schoolers and two younger sons. Kolb has a 14-year-old son and two daughters, ages 12 and nine. The two figure they'll need teen clothes for at least another decade.

"Most 13- to 17-year-olds don't really want to shop with crying babies while tripping over toddler toys," she says. "We decided to create our own opportunity for a more intimate shopping experience for teens on a budget."

Teens Going Green is scheduled for Aug. 5 to Aug. 7 at the Cary Masonic Lodge, 1142 SE Maynard Road (around the corner from Cary Towne Center). The public sale schedule is 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 6 and noon to 4 p.m. Aug. 7 when some items are half off. Consignors and volunteers can shop early.
