After a four-month hiatus, Market Square has a resale shop again. The Lake Forest Resale Shop will have its grand opening from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday (April 23).

Formerly the , which closed in December of last year due to declining revenues, the new store will reopen at the same location, 653 N.

Store hours during the week will be 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday. 

The shop will open with a fresh collection of items for the chic and conscious consumer, who will find bargains in clothing, furniture, tabletop, kitchenwares, home accessories, media and more.

The clothing department includes both couture and everyday designer fashions for women, men and kids. A special vintage section also offers authentic designs, from Izod cardigans to 70's gowns.
