News Release

SYRACUSE — Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber’s Member of the Month for March is The Revolving Closet. The store is located at 702 N. Huntington St.

Kelly Wedehase opened The Revolving Closet in 2003. The idea of The Revolving Closet started when Wedehase was nine months pregnant, and being a single mom, consignment shopping made sense. After a couple of years of researching and planning, she decided to open up shop in her hometown of Syracuse.

At one point, Wedehase had three stores uptown — The Blessed Nest, Bliss Boutique and The Revolving Closet. In 2020, she had to make changes because of the shutdown and lack of workforce.

The Revolving Closet has over 4,200 consignors allowing 350 to 500 new arrivals to be added to the displays daily. The two floors of shopping keeps the inventory constantly changing and offering unique items and styles. It’s not just items from consignors. There are new items as well including jewelry and clothing.

To keep abreast of what is happening check out its Facebook page where sale items are listed and there are frequent live broadcasts.

The Revolving Closet offers a no bag policy, allowing the store to raise money for charities that are dear to the staff’s hearts. Every time a customer brings in their own bag, or does not use one, $.10 is donated to a local charity. Don’t let that small amount fool you. Last year The Revolving Close raised over $750.

By shopping local and at the Revolving Closet, where the staff loves their customers, it keeps the money circulating local and supports small town families.

Visit this gem in uptown Syracuse. You won’t be sorry. Check out its website. Where you can learn more about The Revolving Closet including how to consign those items you no longer need.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
