What's in a Name?

The first Plato's Closet^® store was opened in Columbus, Ohio by founders Lynn and Dennis Blum. Experienced business owners who have a long history of creative recycling success, they turned to their teenage son to help create the name for the business.

While doing research for a school project, the Blums' son gained much knowledge and respect for the pioneering Greek philosopher, PLATO. His theories of reusing and preservation appeared to be a good parallel to his parents' unique idea of recycling. CLOSET was a natural fit as it relates perfectly to every teen's room and their craze for clothing.
