A clothing resale store is moving from its Centre Region home of the last five years to a new location in downtown State College.

Uptown Cheapskate plans to open in its new location at 522 E. College Ave. on May 1, according to posts on the store’s social media accounts. Its current store at 176 Rolling Ridge Drive in the Hills Plaza will close April 21.

The shop will hold a moving sale at its current location, with 20% off everything April 16-17 and 30% off April 18-19.

Renovations have been ongoing at the new storefront on the ground floor of the Barcroft building, and a grand re-opening weekend celebration is scheduled there for May 1-4.

A sister store to the children’s consignment shop Kid to Kid, Uptown Cheapskate is a national chain that buys and sells in-style, secondhand clothing, handbags and accessories for young adults.

Uptown Cheapskate’s State College area franchise opened in 2020 at the Hills Plaza, near the local Kid to Kid store that has been in operation since 1997.
