Thank your for giving a fellow Latina a chance to shine and show this amazing business. I can’t wait to go to Chicago and visit this store. But she also said a lot of eye opening things about the thrift industry. Thank you for you this!
It truly is an incredible organization, and it's clear Mireya leads with heart — while backing it up with operational expertise to sustain the enterprise so they can keep making impact. Grateful for Mireya's time in sharing so much wisdom with us, and I hope it can inspire others in the space. 🌿
This is truly incredible! What an amazing business model, I'm blown away by the potential and thoughtfulness here. Next time I'm in Chicago I'll have to visit!
I felt the same when learning about Monarch! Each decision is so thoughtful and community-centric. Hoping this interview can inspire others in communities around the country as well. 💚
I loved this so much!!! It breaks my heart that thrift stores have become too expensive and too commodified for the people who need them the most, and this felt like a positive beacon of hope in the face of that. Thank you Mireya for doing what you do, and thank you Elizabeth for informing us of this lovely business.
Completely — I believe there's room for all price points in secondhand just as there is in new fashion and resellers deserve to be compensated fairly — *and* we need to make sure that genuinely affordable options still exist for communities who've long relied on secondhand!
What a great, inspiring story, thank you!!
Agreed - Monarch is an inspiring org! A blueprint for the nonprofit thrift store model. 🌿
