Sharon Fraser used to love discovering finds at church basement sales or yard sales and that eventually led her to start hunting for treasures in consignment stores. She even had a job at one when she lived in Vancouver. In 2011, she was laid off from her job in Calgary and decided it was time to open her own business. As luck would have it, the consignment shop she frequently visited was closing. Sharon followed her passion, took over the store space, and soon opened Moda Consignment. “I had been consigning a long time myself, so I thought it was a good fit,” she says. “The store was closing and I just decided to buy the assets and stay in the same location.” By the spring of 2015, Moda Consignment expanded into a much larger space in Inglewood, giving Sharon the room to add a men’s section.
