This store intends to bring happiness to all those who love thrifting, especially Gen Z who are behind the reason the retailer opened this new concept store.

"URBN is making a bet on the Gen Z fervor for thrifting," a URBN spokesperson said in a press release.

This is all a part of URBN's effort to be more socially and environmentally responsible.

β€œConsumer attitudes have evolved. Sustainability is important to them and we’re seeing a greater willingness from our customers to try out pre-loved items or salvage pieces with minor damages,” said Joanna Matthy, Senior Director at URBN and lead strategist behind Reclectic in a statement. β€œWe are excited to offer them merchandise that still has life in it but isn’t necessarily something we can sell in one of our typical channels.”
