Shopping in Eloy

With the belief that the word consignment didn’t need to conjure images of dark and dingy stores stocked with stale fashions, sisters Ann and Jenny Siner opened the doors of their first upscale consignment boutique in 1991. An enthusiastic response led the sisters to expand with more locations and into different resale sectors, opening their first men’s-only store, Well Suited, in 2001.

After more than two decades in the business, the fashion-savvy sisters maintain their commitment to high-end, boutique-style consignment, earning them high praise from discerning shoppers, major press outlets such as Today, and long-pining hangers that finally get to slip on a worthy frock. Each store houses a constantly updated selection of designer brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, and Nanette Lepore, priced anywhere from 65%–95% below retail. My Sister’s Closet’s store locations dot many of the most fashionable neighborhoods in Arizona, as well as California.

Long before the founding of the smoke shop that now bears his name, Owl Ear was a Native American tribal chief and calendar keeper, tasked with memorizing important stories in his tribe’s history. Located on the same land where the chief's tales were originally played out, Owl Ear Smoke Shop is a place where new stories are told as customers relax in the leather-appointed lounge and enjoy aromatic puffs of smoke from domestic and imported cigars. Scores of stogies are stocked in the shop's walk-in humidor, which protects their vast supply of cigars and cigarettes from the dry air and neighborhood water-balloon fights.

With brands such as New Balance, Patagonia, and Brooks parading across its shelves, Tortoise and Hare Sports equips customers with the gear they need to pursue healthy, active lifestyles. The shop’s team uncorks a wealth of knowledge to help each individual find the right fit, including a five-point footwear analysis that tailors shoe selections to a person’s gait, form, and measurements. The store’s weekly calendar is also filled with free services, such running clinics that demonstrate how to minimize injuries, maximize performance, and keep overworked toes from forming a union and going on strike. Training programs for marathon runners, free yoga sessions, and group runs are also available.
