Ragstock is an annual concert based in South London. The event is designed to help Londoners celebrate the summer by bringing together some of the country’s best up and coming bands. All money raised from Ragstock is donated to Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign. The name Ragstock is taken from the surnames of the event organisers; Nick Stocker and Rag Bhalla. Both Nick and Rag's mothers were treated at the Royal Marsden Hospital Sutton and the event is designed to help support the specialist hospital in helping those whose lives are affected by cancer.
Ragstock is a chain of stores in the Midwest United States in the states of Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa and Minnesota. In 2015, it expanded out of the Midwest, opening 3 stores in Colorado. It is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Though it does sell new clothing, it is popular for selling used or "recycled clothing."
Ragstock purchases recycled clothing in bulk from organizations. The clothing is sorted and processed at the main warehouse in Minneapolis, where it is then shipped to stores all over the Midwest.
Ragstock was founded by Howard Weisskopf, and its original location was razed to create a parking lot for the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.
