Urban Renewal Consignment — Local services in Acworth

This store has some very nice clothes and good bargains with frequent sales. It is fairly organized, although the clothes along the wall are an odd hodge-podge of velour warm-up suits dressy dresses, jackets, and suits. The atmosphere and music are nice. It's better to be a buyer here than a seller. Although they let you know what price they put on your items, they don't give you a printout of the sales, and don't tell you which items sold or what they sold for. I don't believe they're giving consigners the money they're due. I took in about 10 items to consign. When I visited the store a week later, four of my items had sold that had been priced at a total of $80. When I collected my money, they only gave me $18. I asked why and the young woman told me those items had been discounted for being there "so long".

I've been shopping at UR since it first opened. Why? Two reasons: incredibly low-priced merchandise and excellent quality.

I had to update my review from long ago. Urban Renewal is the classiest boutique you will ever visit - very high end with reasonable prices. The "new" location is so modern, so hip, so very cool! If you didn't go to the previous location you MUST visit their new location. And what's even better is the associates that assist you. Such a great group of people. You don't want to miss out on all the great clothes and accessories! So run and find something pretty. You will not regret it and it will be your favorite...
