Prav zato je pred desetimi leti Knof odprl prvi butik ponovne uporabe Stara šola. Do danes smo odprli 5 butikov, ki sprejemajo donirana oblačila in manjše predmete, ki jih prodajamo v treh cenovnih razredih. Franšiza deluje po tržnem modelu, ki ima pozitivne učinke na okolje, lokalno ekonomijo in skupnost. S sodobnimi pristopi prodaje sledimo trendom mlajše in starejše generacije ter gledamo tudi v prihodnost.
