in Richardson. It’s also happening in other upcycling-friendly cities like Portland, Ore., and Philadelphia.
The store isn’t just a hub for the community, it’s also a way to make art more financially accessible and to reduce waste. At the end of the year, Pegasus will tally up how many pounds of art supplies were saved from the landfill.Smith, who invited two teacher friends along with her, was excited when she first heard about the store. She’s committed to “save the planet a little bit at a time,” she said.
“I just know how much of our clothing with fast fashion just gets thrown into landfills after a couple of uses, which is why I like to do vintage clothing.”Smith set up a store account with co-owner Diaz, who weighed Smith’s hefty bag of buttons to calculate the number of Pegasus points she’ll receive – 16 pounds equals 16 Pegasus points - the most a customer had received so far that day, Villarreal noted.
“If we have people coming in that are like ‘Hey, we really, really want this, but it’s kind of tight right now,’ we’ll work with you because that’s what really matters to us.”Villarreal said even the business hours, from 4-8 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday-Sunday, are meant to make the store more accessible.
“We all know how much it sucks whenever you get out of school, you get out of work and you have to race somewhere because it closes at 5 or 5:30,” she said.Friends Gissell Rodriguez and Carly Mack wandered into the store because they liked the design of the storefront sign. Rodriguez, who crochets in her spare time, looked through the yarn.Meanwhile, Mack – who is a graphic designer – found a Ray Charles record she wanted to buy.
