Meet our Passionate Owners
Customers Turned Owners
Oliver and Cherina Johnson became the new owners of Upstairs Resale Shop in March 2018. Cherina is the face of the brand, while Oliver is the force behind the scenes. The husband and wife duo work together as a team to continue to make the business thrive by reaching a broader customer base through offering relevant merchandise at an affordable price through online store and pop up store appearances.
Prior to new ownership, Cherina was a customer of the store under the previous owners. She was introduced to thrifting as a teenager; and developed a passion over the years to bargain shop and experience the sheer joy of finding hidden treasures at second hand stores. Now, she enjoys passing on the art of thrifting to her customers. The Johnsons’ desire is that you when you shop at Upstairs Resale Shop that you will find something that you cannot live without.
