Junkee History

Junkee Clothing Exchange is the brain child of Jessica Schneider. Jessica has always been a fan of recycled and vintage clothing stores, such as Wasteland and Buffalo Exchange. Even though she had shopped at these types of stores for years, she wanted to take the Recycled clothing industry to the next level. In the spring of 2007 she started developing a business plan and model to accomplish exactly what she had been visualizing. She wanted to bring a hip fresh new look to the recycled clothing industry. By utilizing her interior design background, she designed the store to be visually stimulating with over the top store displays, rack top displays with an easy shopping layout of clothing racks. She also took the "Be Green" aspect to the next level by incorporating a separate 3,000 sq ft antique section inside the 8,800 sq ft location. To round it all off she looked back to her days as a CD store owner and put together amazing play lists of music for the store, which please all generations of people. Junkee Clothing Exchange is defiantly what Jessica had visualized and hoped for.


Junkee Clothing Exchange opened their doors in June of 2008. The store offers all sorts of recycled clothing, accessories, shoes, costumes, jewelry, and some random new items as well. The antique side of the store offers pretty much everything from dust collectors (nick naks) to retro furniture. When shopping at Junkee Clothing Exchange you can change your wardrobe and re-decorate your living space. It truly is a unique shopping experience. With the success of the Reno location Jessica and husband Troy are looking to expand Junkee Clothing Exchange into other areas of the west coast in the next few years.
