This is a children's store selling both new and "gently used" clothing, toys, furniture and various children's accessories. The product lines of the store are geared for the age range: infant up to child s size 16. The owner maintains very high standards on used toys and clothing and will reject any items not considered in top quality condition. This is not a consignment store rather it is a resale shop. All used merchandise is purchased outright from the customers with only very unique or "high-ticket" items taken on consignment. It is a very clean, upscale store with excellent signage and display areas. A sophisticated POS (Point of Sale) computer system labels all purchased items with a bar code, registers the cost of the item, and it's selling price. Buying and selling of used items is easy and accurate. The reseller deals with over 20 major vendors, including: Graco, Kolcraft, Cosco, Century, and Safety 1st. These vendors regularly send emails to the store offering excellent deals on closeouts, special pricing, and overstocked inventories. This allows the retailer to compete directly with high volume retailers like Wal Mart and Toys R' US on new products. In November they began purchasing and offering for sale maternity clothing. This has been an instant hit among the customers.
