ST. GEORGE — As you pull open the building's glass door, the familiar jingle of hanging bells announces your arrival. But the second you step inside, you realize this is no ordinary store.
Your eyes are drawn to racks of hanging clothes nestled under travel-themed walls when a warm greeting from a smiling face steals the show. Meet April Goodspeed, the owner of Coyote Exchange.
"Pretty much everything I have on – except my shoes – was loved by somebody else before me, which makes me happy," Goodspeed said.
This clothing resale shop is about to celebrate its 14th year in St. George, but don't confuse it with a consignment shop or a thrift store. Goodspeed said it falls somewhere in between. While consignment means receiving a portion of the profits when or if the item sells, Coyote Exchange purchases clothing upfront via cash or store credit, which means they put in the work and take the risk.
