WOODBURY

Clothes Mentor gets larger digs Clothes Mentor, a store that deals in "gently used" brand-name women's fashions and accessories, will be closed on Monday and Tuesday so crews can move its merchandise a few doors down. The store is relocating to a larger space in Woodbury Commons across from Wal-Mart at 10150 Hudson Road to make way for a Becker Furniture showroom.

Clothes Mentor will reopen Wednesday in a 4,500-square-foot space near Schuler Shoes and New Balance Twin Cities, said owner Mark Hoon.

"Adding 1,000 square feet will make it a better shopping experience," said Hoon, who runs the store with his wife, Barb.

Clothes Mentor is a store that pays cash for people's unwanted business and casual clothing, apparel, shoes, purses and accessories that are in-style and in good or new condition, and then resells them. The store's hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays.
