"Resale Row" on west 5th Avenue has some of the best thrift stores in Columbus. There's furniture, wedding dresses and lots of brand name clothes for women, men and kids.. And, the stuff is in great shape! So if you're looking to save money (and who isn't?), take a stroll down Resale Row.
Fresco Furnishings opened in 2007. Trader Tot co-owners Michelle Salisbury and Anne Bush-Cassidy had wanted to open a resale furniture shop for a while, so when a space became available, the women took it.
Michelle says that their thrift store background with Trader Tots didn't help as much as they thought it would. "It's a completely different customer base," she explains. "We had to build from the ground up."
Fresco Furnishings usually has dining sets, some furniture for bedrooms and living rooms, home office furniture, dishes and other housewares, and one-of-a-kind decorator items. Usually is the key word here. Things at thrift stores change every day. It's like going on a treasure hunt without leaving Columbus.
