Varia, means variety in the French language, and the Varia Shop carries a variety of used clothing at less than retail pricing.

The store was opened by Robin Kendrick on June 8, 2021 and has expanded to the point of needing more space.

As of September 6, the store will be located in the same building, but two doors east of the present store front.

The new address is 114 E. 23rd, just behind the Taco Bell Restaurant on Main Street.

Hours the shop is open: Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.  They are closed on Sunday and Monday.

“We provide the community quality used name brand clothing at affordable prices,” Kendrick said. “Nothing is above $11.50. We opened because we see a need for more clothing stores in Fort Scott.”

Kendrick buys clothing directly from the public and online.

One can make an appointment with her to sell clothing to her.

“I will look items over, to see if I think I can sell it,” Kendrick said.

When they opened in  2021 they had 300 items and now have over 4000 items, she said.

“We are moving to a bigger space because we have outgrown our current place,” she said. ” We are moving starting on Sunday (Sept. 4) and will ready for business on Tuesday, Sept. 5.”
