Since opening the doors of its first location in the heart of San Francisco's Fillmore District, Crossroads has expanded over time to 38 retail locations spanning Northern and Southern California, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Denver, New York, and Houston.

Crossroads has been featured in Harper's Bazaar, Teen Vogue, and LA Mag, and is widely recognized as an industry leader in the 'resale revolution.'
