Downtown Fresno boutique owner shaken after break-in at Summoned Clothing
A brick-throwing burglary shattered Summoned Clothing’s window at the Warnors corner, leaving Vanessa Gonzalez with stolen inventory and a shaken sense of safety.
A downtown Fresno vintage shop was left with shattered glass, stolen merchandise and a rattled owner after a weekend break-in at Summoned Clothing on the Warnors corner. Vanessa Gonzalez said the unknown suspect used bricks to smash the front window at 2019 Tuolumne St., between Fulton Street and Van Ness Avenue, then pushed through the opening and took a rack of inventory from near the door.
Gonzalez said the shop had operated in the same space for three years without incident. She said the loss went beyond the value of the clothes, because Summoned Clothing was built as a welcoming place for women shopping vintage Y2K and 1990s clothing. The store had been designed to feel safe, and Gonzalez said the burglary left her feeling violated inside a business she worked hard to make into a community space. In 2023, she said ArtHop helped her business expand and helped her save money for a brick-and-mortar storefront.
Summoned Clothing planned to reopen Tuesday, July 14, at 11:05 a.m.
The Warnors Theatre at Fulton and Tuolumne was built in 1928, originally opened as the Pantages Theatre and was designated a registered historic building in 1978. Summoned Clothing is a vintage store offering unique finds and styling services, with posted hours of Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.
Police asked anyone with information about the burglary to contact the Fresno Police Department at (559) 621-7000 for non-emergencies, or 911 for crimes in progress. California officials said state-backed anti-retail-theft efforts led to 29,060 arrests and more than $226 million in recovered stolen goods from October 2023 through September 2025.
