PAGE6 THE POST COMMUNITY Sunday, July 1, 2007 Consignment shopping | is upscale By REBECCA BRIA rbria@timesleader.com The Snooty Fox Consignment Shop opened last October in Dal- las. Located on 66 Main St. in an old red barn, the shop buys and sells name brand women’s and children’s clothing and accesso- ries that are under four years old. Owner and operator Danette Fife was inspired to open the store while driving home from work one day late last summer. Fife had just gone back to her sales job after being off on mater- nity leave. She was fed up and stressed out from high quotas, long hours and travel. She no- ticed a barn for lease in a prime location and jumped on the chance to start her own business. Since she always had a passion for clothes and shoes, Fife decid- ed to open a consignment shop. In September, Fife placed an ad asking for consigners. Within two weeks, she had so many items, she opened the store about a month early. It was an instant success. “People that never shopped consignment are now starting to shop consignment,” said Fife. Consigners who come into the store to drop things off are pull- ing clothes from the racks, she said. Born and raised in Dallas Township, Fife moved out of the area after high school. In 1996 fol- lowing the birth of her first son, she moved back to Dallas Town- ship to raise a family. Fife adores the flexible hours of her own CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST Blanca Frederick, left, and Danette Fife model some new UUG merchandise at The Snotty Fox Con- signment Shop on Main Street in Dallas which offers new and used clothing and merchandise in an upscale style. news of the bargain prices in the shop have been spreading rapidly by word of mouth. For example, Fife currently has a pair of Bright- on shoes with the tags still on them. The shoes normally sell for about $119 but The Snooty Fox price is just $49.99. Each Thursday, all items in the store, except jewelry, are 20 per- cent off.
