After a four year run on North Broadway, a women's clothing resale store called Nu On Uis preparing to close up shop as its owner takes on new projects.
"We're going to be sorry to say good-bye to Rochester. Business has gone well. It has been a terrific location," said Donna Gates, who has helped her daughter Kisa Bisekrun the 1,600-square-foot storefront in the Dison Cleaners Centerat 200 N. Broadway.
They have launched a "going out of business" sale. Gates says they plan on selling everything, including many of the store fixtures and mannequins.
Unlike when many stores close, this closure is not about slow sales. The resale shop was Bisek's brainchild and now she's ready for something new.
"My daughter is being offered other business opportunities, so it's time to shut this down," Gates said.

Nu On U was at the forefront of the surge in resale and consignment stores in Rochester, when it opened in August 2010. It purchases gently used girl's and women's clothing, shoes and accessories with the intent to resell them. By listening to its customers over the years, the store earned a loyal following.
When announcing the closing, Nu On U encouraged its regulars to patronize other similar Rochester shops like Kismet, Refashion, Danielle's Consignment Boutiqueand Size It Up. — Jeff Kiger
