Most items at Reclectic are priced at a base of 50-60% off retail. | Photo by FTWtoday
A new discount clothing store opened its doors last month, and when we heard the news, we ran to try on some clothes.
Reclectic is URBN’s newest retail concept with a mission to find a more eco-friendly solution for products that can’t be sold at retail price. According to a sales associate, it opened in Arlington over Mother’s Day weekend last month.
Items can be new with tags, second-hand, or previous returns. Some have minor defects, like a broken zipper or misplaced thread. The store heavily stocks women’s apparel, but includes some men’s, shoes, accessories, swimwear, and home goods.

Rahr & Sons Brewing Company will forever hold a special place in my heart. Ten years ago, when I visited Fort Worth for the first time, Rahr was celebrating its 11th anniversary. Today, as the beer company is between homes, it has moved in with Wild Acre Brewing. While Rahr’s production line will be at Wild Acre, Wild Acre beer will continue to be poured there as well. I’ll do my very best to keep you posted on Rahr’s upcoming events, including a Fourth of July festivities and its 16th Annual Oktoberfest.
And finally. While we’re on the subject, Blue Flag Distillery is set to take up Rahr’s previous home on Galveston Avenue.
