Mother-Daughter Team Opens New Clothes Mentor in Maryland

Women’s Resale Clothing Franchise is 148th Nationally - and Second Location in Maryland

December 13, 2018 // Franchising.com // MINNETONKA, Minn. - Clothes Mentor, a leading women’s resale clothing franchise headquartered in Minnetonka, awarded a new store in Waldorf, Maryland, to new owners Beth Teas and Gwen Conger. The new store is the second NTY Franchise Company resale brand to call Maryland home, joining Clothes Mentor of Columbia.

“Clothes Mentor is a family business, so it’s always exciting for us to award a new store to a family partnership ready to start their entrepreneurial journey together,” Chad Olson, COO of NTY Franchise Company said. “We are thrilled for Beth and Gwen and look forward to celebrating their success.”

Conger, a veteran with a 32-year career serving the United States Army, Navy and State Department, was turned on to Clothes Mentor after visiting a store in Virginia with her daughters, then doing a little homework.

“My motivation is not so much for myself as it is for helping my children,” Conger said. “I have always thought that owning my own business would be very satisfying work, plus I love clothes and I love a bargain! After taking two of my adult girls to Clothes Mentor in Fredericksburg to shop, I went online to see if it was a franchise. Then I asked my children if any of them would be interested in owning one and Beth seemed really interested.”

Teas, a registered dietician, stay-at-home mom and part-time administrative assistant for her church, is very excited to not only own her own business; but do so with the help of a franchise.

“After my mom sent an email asking if either one of us would be interested in owning a Clothes Mentor franchise, I jumped at the opportunity! To be able to own my business and yet still have the support from a major company is a win-win in my opinion. Having something that I can call my own and be proud of is very exciting,” she said.
