Join Indy Clover, the hottest new take on thrift!
Start-Up Description
Upscale Thrift Boutique with Weekly Inventory Refresh + Strong Socials
Indy Clover is a modern, high-energy thrift/resale franchise built on one simple idea: resale should be fun, simple, and rewarding. We empower local Sellers to earn from their closets while shoppers hunt fresh “Lucky Finds” every week.
The model: Indy Clover runs a booth-based weekly reselling system. Sellers book a booth (typically $30–$35/week), set up on Saturday, we sell all week, and Sellers keep 2/3 of their sales—Indy Clover earns the remaining 1/3 plus booth-booking revenue. This creates an inventory-less operation (Sellers tag, curate, and remove unsold items), driving strong margins and reducing inventory risk versus traditional thrift/buy-sell-trade models.
Why customers come back: Our inventory refreshes weekly, creating constant newness and repeat traffic—especially around Saturday restocks and Thursday/Friday Discount Days. Unlike competitors where inventory can sit, Indy Clover feels bright, curated, and always changing.
Social media is the engine: We’re a social-media-driven retail business—each location builds local community reach while corporate maintains brand standards and consistency. Daily booth highlights, proven store-tour content, and system support help operators win even if social isn’t their strong suit.
Franchisee support + systems: New owners start with a kickoff meeting and structured pre-open checklist, then attend 4-day Culture Week training at HQ (30 hours / 19 sessions) and receive a 30-day grand opening marketing plan. Ongoing support includes weekly CEO check-ins, weekly “Clover Corral” system calls, “Connecting the Clovers” intranet + ticketing, weekly training videos, content calendars via Cakewalk, offshore admin support for seller coordination, and corporate-managed customer service inboxes.
Extra revenue + merchandising: Stores also feature Clover Corner (accessories/trinkets/jewelry/hair items sourced by corporate), earning one-third commission on those sales.
Indy Clover isn’t “just another thrift store”—it’s a community-powered resale marketplace with predictable weekly rhythms, built-in organic marketing, and a repeat-visit shopping experience that keeps guests coming back for the next Lucky Find.
