The Story of ModCloth

ModCloth started as an outlet for a teenage “thrifter.” Susan Gregg-Koger spent weekends and summers in high school thrift-store shopping with friends and found herself unable to pass up a great find in any size. Susan’s closet was soon full of vintage wares she could not wear. With the help of her boyfriend (now husband) Eric Koger, Susan turned thrifting into a modest money-making hobby by launching a website in 2002. She had a sale the first day.


Six years later, Susan and Eric have turned ModCloth is a rapidly-expanding business. Over 30 employees currently work out of the ModCloth Office (Strip District) and the ModCloth warehouse (Ambridge).
