Once Upon A Child’s unique retail resale concept allows for clothing, toys and accessories for kids to end up in someone else’s house rather than thrown into a landfill, providing a resource for new or existing parents who are looking to update their children’s closet on a budget and in a mindful environmental manner.
“As parents of two ourselves, we recognize the financial strains of raising a family in today’s world. Our store fills a distinct niche in the retail market,” said the Heeremas. “We are dedicated to offering an affordable option for local families. By purchasing merchandise directly from consumers, we’re able to offer them lower prices and a great opportunity to receive cash on the spot for items they may have otherwise simply given away.”
Unlike a typical consignment store, Once Upon A Child® does not require appointments and pays on the spot for items it purchases from consumers. At Once Upon A Child®, families are able to buy necessities for their children at great values, and turn their gently used items into cash.
In addition, Once Upon A Child® ensures that all products purchased and sold meet mandatory and voluntary safety standards. Staff members stay up-to-date on current recalled items, immediately pulling all recalled products from shelves and making sure all items purchased are safety-checked to meet current standards.
For questions on the buying process, the new Once Upon A Child can be reached at 807-622-6748 or https://www.onceuponachild.com/locations/thunder-bay-on. The store is open Monday to Saturday 10 AM – 8 PM and Sunday 11 AM – 6 PM.
