Grace's Merry-Go-Round

Grace's Merry-Go-Round is a full family consignment store that has sold used clothing, kids' items and home pieces since it opened in October 1984. It started in a space of about 1,000 square feet and has grown over more than 40 years, with more than 30,000 consignors bringing in items along the way. Shoppers come in for a perfect piece for the home, an outfit for a special event, or something for the kids.

Pieces are sold on consignment, so the people who bring them in share in the sale. The Washington store is the larger of the two, at over 30,000 square feet, and the O'Fallon store in O'Fallon Plaza is about 8,900 square feet. Each location has its own hours and rules, so call the one you plan to visit before you go.
