thredUP Corporate Office

Thredup was founded in 2009 as an online peer to peer men’s clothing swap. After a few test runs, the company moved on to men’s, women’s, and children’s used clothing and shoes.

Today, Thredup is the largest online consignment and thrift “store”. Clients can shop by brand, size, or price. The company offers “Clean Out Bags”, where clients can put clothing, shoes, and accessories they wish to sell. The bag is mailed to the company, which offers cash or store credit for wanted items. Items are guaranteed to be flaw free, stain free, functional (with working zippers and no missing buttons), as well as fashionable.

In July 2018, the company penned a scathing letter, criticizing Burberry, who burned $37 million worth of clothing to prevent the possible imitation of their brands.

The company warehouse is located in San Leandro, California, while headquarters are now located in San Francisco, California.

Tomah Cash Store Corporate Office

Tomah Cash Mercantile Company, more commonly known today as the Tomah Cash Store, was founded by Herman Rose in 1900. It was the first large store to be built in Tomah. The name came from the store’s original design to pay cash for farmer’s crops, rather than exchanging it for merchandise.

The company continues to operate, but no longer offers cash for crops. This modern day department store is constantly changing its merchandise to keep up with people’s needs and technology. The store stopped selling fabric in the early 1990’s because women were not sewing their own clothing, but they added more electronics. The company also stopped selling groceries in the early 2000’s, but now offer higher end lingerie and clothing.

Tomah Cash Store is operated by the great grandson’s of Herman Rose; Mark and John Rose, along with their wives and other family members. Company headquarters have not moved in 117 years; still located on Superior Avenue in Tomah, Wisconsin.
