    Outfit that I thrifted for $13! At Plato's Closet
    Marilet H.

    This Platos Closet is the best one Ive been to in all of California. I frequently thrift from all the way to Sacramento from LA. I have never experienced a more heartwarming store. I really appreciate the hospitality of Anya. Brynne was unbelievably helpful with the dressing rooms. George was folding clothes and greeting each person that came in. I even applied to work there I enjoyed the atmosphere so much. I would Highly recommend coming to Plato's closet in Vacaville anytime you're in the area. -cleanliness 100/10 -hospitality 100/10 -good energy 100/10 I won't thrift anywhere else if I'm in Vacaville.

    Not the best selection of clothing but it's difficult to sell to the store

    Pretty difficult place to sell clothes if you ask me. Thi was my 2nd time giving it a shot to see if they'd take some items. Brought in a few large bags of clothing which included some pants, coats, shirts, shoes etc. Only reason I considered trying again was because a lot of the items were name brand like Levi and had a few pairs of Nike Dunks I've never worn. I dropped off the bags and they said the wait would be around 1.5 hours which is fine so I figured I browse a little bit to see what kind of items they're taking and stuff they're selling on the floor. To be honest, the Men's section of the store is very goodwill-like in the sense that you'll find a few good items but I mean a lot of the bulk of their clothing is just random crap that I'm not completely sure why they're taking and reselling. Some of the photos I've included are some items that I'm unsure why they'd take and try and resell if the stores advertised to "trends" and "Young Adult Style". Especially since the store is such a hard store to sell clothing to. After running some errands I received a text that my offer was ready and based on how long it took I was pretty sure I was going to walk out with the same amount of clothing I walked in with. Sure enough that was the case and they took some items I figured I'd have to take to goodwill and have me $27 which is fine. Their reasoning for not taking any pants was they are only looking for denim jeans and not colored denim...okay that's fine. They then said they aren't taking a lot of the items because they are overstocked on certain clothing. Hmmm I'm pretty sure the reason they're overstocked is because they're taking a lot of sub par mens clothing that are difficult to move off the floor! Guys I'm sorry I know this is a second hand clothing store, but at a certain point you have to consider quality over quantity and I'm sure you'd make a hell of a lot more money. Just based on what I was seeing on the floor it's no different than walking into the savers less than 2 miles away and finding the same stuff. I'd even say I've had 1000x more luck at savers than I have Plato's. If you're a person looking to sell clothing I'd prepare yourself for a little disappointment considering the effort it takes to organize and transport the clothing. The store has a lot of potential to be a solid second hand store but I truly believe they've got to broaden their audience because the stuff they're buying and selling feel a little lost and out of touch of so called "trends". This will be the last time trying to sell clothing to this place, it's more worth the time and effort to find the nearest buffalo exchange or crossroads if you're looking to sell clothes.

    Unless it's a fast food establishment, I usually cringe when I visit a business with one or two stars on Yelp. And considering this is a business that specializes in second hand apparel, I had to give it some thought if this place was any good. Keep in mind that I love thrifting; especially when you can find bargains on so many good finds. This takes me to the Vacaville "Plato's Closet" that has been opened since mid-2021. For those of you that don't know, Plato's Closet is a franchise owned by Winmark Corporation which also owns "Once Upon A Child" and "Play It Again Sports". Usually, their stores are spread out and only in very select areas across the country. This was my 2nd time visiting a Plato's Closet as there is one only 20 minutes from me in Roseville, CA. This location is in a busy outdoor shopping center directly at Allison Dr. and Nut Tree Pkwy. During my visit which was the afternoon of Saturday 6/17/2023 at around 1:30pm, I scored some really amazing finds. First and foremost, they were offering 70% off on clearance items. I found an awesome Aeropostale t-shirt for under $1, Kirkland brand swim trunks for under $2 (both of which were clearance items), and Nike Air Max shoes for an unbelievable $25. Furthermore, this place has a ton of name brand apparel at discounts that are much lower than a Goodwill and Eco Thrift. One thing I did want to point out is that customer service wasn't the best. However in this situation it was okay with me as the three female employees looked young (18-20 years old) Usually I enjoy browsing by myself without being asked if I need help. When I did want to use the fitting room, the young woman didn't mind assisting me in letting me in. All in all, the Vacaville "Plato's Closet" was a decent thrift store with surprisingly unbeatable prices. And it is tucked in between Ross and Burlington so if you're on a mission for some new and perhaps, second hand clothes like you'll find here, you just may score some deal. With that said and done, I am giving them an above average four star rating.

    I visited for the first time to experience the "country drop"! And a lot of great things for my upcoming trip to Nashville at a great price and I'm so excited! The ladies working there were very helpful and nice.

    Michael Kors is MK not M

    I do not expect high about this store but I respect them as I have visited San Mateo Location few times.. I hit this store for a possible deal... I went to the clothes area, nothing to see but look like rugs, not to insult them but they should choose what they get from consignors because they are losing money on this.. Shoes are A-OK though I won't buy used shoes for obvious reasons, then the bags and wallets.. They should have an authenticator to make sure what they're selling is authentic.. I have seen few that are really FAKE and when I asked them they said they have an authenticator to authenticate the products. I guess you have to fire your authenticator.. One bag is misleading at the same time even if you do not work for a fashion industry (I do), you should know what Michael Kors bag is... Take a look at the picture and tell me if this is Michael Kors... Obviously it is an Amazon product and even a grade schooler knows if the bag is an MK or not..Do not blame authenticators because if your authenticator is wrong then as a person who works for Fashion Retail should know the difference of auth and non-auth and the brands of each bag.. Staff knows how to talk gossip about customers, consignors or bring their personal issues at work, rather than learning brand names of what they're selling... In San Mateo location, you can see all kinds of Branded Luxury and Designer Items from bags, wallets, shoes and clothes... They know their brands but this Vac location takes and accepts even Goodwill brands or non-branded things... As far as I am concerned Plato's has its policy and rule to follow on what to sell, that's why they're strict when it comes to consignment... Now, I know why I see people just taking their closet and bringing it over to Plato's anything, just anything, to save them from decluttering fees.. Plato's , you should know better than this, hire people with knowledge on Brands.. However, when it comes to Customer Service, they greeted us as we walked in (brother and I), they were friendly , contrary to what others said here..

    One of the tees and vintage jackets I found a few years back. Love the style at Platos!!

    Located in downtown Vacaville, Fleet Feet is a great place to go for a new pair of sneakers…read moreparticularly if you have sore, aching or painful feet. They have a good variety of supportive shoes and sandals. They carry SuperFeet orthotic arch supports. They also carry some athletic wear and seamless/moisture wicking socks for runners, as well as massagers, lotions and potions for runners. Their shoe/orthotic fitting service is great! They 3D scan your feet and have you walk across a force plate and the computer spits out a 3D model of your feet so you can see how your arches look and how aligned your ankles are. They also show you where the forces are distributed on the plantar surfaces (bottoms) of your feet. Overall prices are not cheap, but you can't put a price on your health. You would be amazed on how good your feet can feel when you are fitted correctly for a pair of shoes and orthotics!

My sister has been looking for a pair of Hokas on sale and this was the second Rack location she tried. Unfortunately no luck here, but I tagged along and tried on some shoes. They have a very large selection of good designer shoes...the largest choice of Sam Edelman shoes I've seen in ages. The discounts are good, not great. I ended up choosing a pair of EVA Arizona Birkenstock sandals. At $54.95 they are $5 more than buying on Birkenstock direct website, so no savings especially as free membership allows you free shipping. However, I wasn't sure of my size for this brand so it was helpful to try several pairs out in person. The salespeople here were low key and helpful if asked for assistance. The store was large, cool, well lit and had a large selection. The store was larger than the ones I have gone to in Sacramento. I briefly looked at personal care items and they had a nice selection. Otherwise, we didn't have time to look at much else as we wanted to head home and beat the traffic. I am taking one star away for no discount on the shoes and the fact they when I got home I realized the security tag hadn't been removed at checkout . Fortunately my Dad had a bolt cutter and he took it off for me.

    I have to downgrade the previous five star review due a negative experience returning shoes at this…read morelocation. We live 45 minutes away from Vacaville where the store is located. I made a special trip a month or so ago to look at shoes for my dad. He had good luck with this brand in the past. Unfortunately, he has gout and very painful bunions impairing his functioning and he has daily pain in both feet. Though we are trying to address both issues with podiatry and his primary care doctor, it's still a challenge. He thought the two pairs of shoes we got would work after testing them out at the store, but after wearing them each for a couple hours at home he felt unstable and his feet hurt. A double negative. I wanted to return them but it's hard to find a time as they are only open from 10 am- 7 pm, and they are 45 minutes away, and add the never ending construction on Hwy 50/80 through West Sac to Davis, there's usually a huge slowdown, let alone more if there's an accident. I made a real effort to get to the store (including a 45 minutes delay) to get the shoes returned (which are virtually unworn) in the 45 day limit. I was greeted with "Are you here for an exchange?" I said, no, I'm here for a return, these didn't work out for my Dad. She then asked, did I need to look around just to make sure?... Um, no. She then asked in an accusing tone "Where's the box for the other pair?" I said the pair was in clearance and it didn't have a box. That is what my Dad told me...she said, "That's weird." She then proceeded to look over the shoes as if she was a forensic scientist. Flipping the soles, looking at the insoles...searching for signs of wear. She finally and reluctantly gave me a full refund. And with that unpleasant experience added to the awful drive, I will definitely not be returning here for anything. We had a great experience with the two guys running the store a month ago in the morning...no drama and just great customer service. I like to exercise my right to return. But I make sure things are in excellent shape, I have the receipt, I meet the time metrics, and understand the policies of the store. I did not appreciate being treated like a criminal for returning two pairs of athletic shoes. Be aware and choose to take your business elsewhere if the ability to return shoes is important to you.
