The Fabulous Forever downtown store offers a unique shopping experience that can’t be found anywhere else in Columbus.
At least, according to Nicole Saalfeld, owner of the company with Amy Soulliere.
Fabulous Forever, 2508 13th St., offers gently used designer clothing at a discount.
We are like high-end resale. So we buy, sell, trade new and like-new clothes for children and adults, Saalfeld said.
The pair opened the store in 2002 and celebrated 10 storese birthday in February.
Originally, we just started with women. Over the years, and we grew, we started taking kids’ and men’s clothing, so now we’re just kind of a one-stop-shop for the whole family,” Saalfeld said.
get off 13e Downtown street, visitors can immediately spot Fabulous Forever with its signature pink facade and upon entering the store can see shelves and shelves of clothing, shoes, handbags, jewelry, toys and home decor.

It’s nice to be able to offer hundreds of different brands under one roof, many different styles and sizes, she added. We do extra small up to 3x for boys and girls and then kids of all sizes from newborn to 18/20.
Shoppers can also expect new merchandise each time they visit Fabulous Forever.
We get new inventory all day, every day, Saalfeld said. We add thousands of items every week so you never know what you’ll find.
Sandie Fischer, director of memberships and community engagement at the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce, also noted the wide range of items that can be found in the store.
She has such a variety of different brands and they are not old styles. It’s new. It’s fashionable. It’s that stuff that makes her so special, Fischer said.
The variety she carries right off the bat, you can get kid stuff, you can get adult stuff.
Saaldfeld said that in addition to customers from Columbus, Fabulous Forever also sees many customers come from surrounding areas.
According to Saalfeld, people can bring their branded clothing and accessories anytime during store hours. The company accepts all seasons, all year round.
When people bring in their stuff, we look at it, give you a cash offer for the things we’re interested in, and then they’ll take back anything we can’t accept, she added.
Fabulous Forever is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
We always felt there was a need for something like this in our community, Saalfeld said.
There weren’t many places to shop and nothing offered that kind of service. So we thought it would be something good to bring to the community.
