A clothing rental company is opening a second storefront in the Triangle very soon.

TrenLend, which has a location in Cary, is the latest tenant to join Makers Alley, part of the North Hills Innovation District in the popular Raleigh mixed-use development, according to a press release from Kane Realty.

What is TrenLend?

Founded by Emmy Weiland and Amelia Zahn, graduates of N.C. State, TrenLend is an in-person and online clothing rental company.

It offers pieces in a range of styles and price points, available for rent for four-, eight- or 14-day periods.
