Varia Quality Resale Clothing Shop opened June 8 at 110 E. 23rd, across the street from Walgreens.

Co-owners Robin Kendrick and daughter Darci West opened the shop because “my daughter and I like clothes and there are not many clothing stores in Fort Scott,” she said. “And we like to get quality clothes at affordable prices.”

“We sell women’s and children’s clothing from size newborn to women’s plus size,” Kendrick said.

Kendrick said they source the clothes from online sales and also buy clothing outright from local customers.

They take no consignments.

Kendrick can be reached at 620.238.1703.

Hours of operation are Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Fort Scott Chamber of Commerce is hosting a grand opening for the store on Thursday, June 24 at 8 a.m. with remarks starting at 8:15 a.m., followed by the ribbon-cutting.

Coffee, juice, and light refreshments will be served, in addition to a door prize drawing.
