rEVOLVEr resale was a second-hand clothing shop founded in 2023 by Sarah Randolph. The business offered previously-owned and vintage apparel for resale or by consignment, as well as gifts, décor, artwork furniture, accessories and children's goods merchandised without gender labels.

The business was supported by a prize from Innovation Depot's LGBTQ+ pitch competition, held during Central Alabama LGBTQ+ Entrepreneurship Conference, and also raised start-up funds through an online GoFundMe campaign and a fund-raising event at the Clubhouse on Highland.

The business got its start as a pop-up shop, and operated regularly at Vinegar gallery in the The Highlander building on 37th Street South. In October 2023 the business partnered with Yolaine's Enhancing Skincare Products to open a full-time shop in the Five Points Market shopping center at 1900 11th Avenue South.

The shop closed in 2024.
