I don't know what I would do without your wonderful store and staff. My son was born in 1980 and I had to buy his entire nursery and clothes at full price. He now has a son that is 5 years old and I still find the most wonderful clothes at Once Upon A Child. I now have two granddaughters and an additional grandson to buy for. Without your store, this would be an impossible task for me. I wish you had been around when my son was born in 1980 you would have been a blessing to me back then. Thank you so much for all the wonderful clothes, furniture, and toys. Sheila

When I found out I was having a little girl I was so happy, but when I went out to go shopping I would of never thought how expensive baby cloths were. My stepma told me about Once Upon A Child I was kind of iffy cause I thought of it as a thift store but I was sooo wrong. I pretty much furnished her whole room. I go at least 3-4 times a month. Now my sister is having a boy so I'm taking all of Trinity's old cloths and start shopping again!!!

I've been shopping at the Once Upon A Child in M'boro, TN now since my only grandson was 6 mos old! He's now turning 3 & has spent more time living w/ us than I ever imagined. Needless to say, we've bought all his clothes since 6 mos. There's no way we could've afforded this had it not been for your stores. My husband works pipeline jobs which means we're constantly traveling (with little one) broke my heart & wallet to be away from our store at home. Then I found out that just about every place we've been in the country (NE, IN, ND, etc) there's been a store!! We're thrilled!! Our grandson's fav store is ONCE UPON A CHILD!! He can play while I shop & he always gets bags of clothes & toys (as if he needs more). Half the items are still new w/ tags! No way can you beat this!! The staff's are wonderful as well!!! Tanya @ M'boro is simply the very best!!! TY Once Upon A Child!!! (picture is of a suit we got @ your store for less than $10.00)

I love shopping at Once Upon A Child. I always find great deals for my daughter!!

I fell in love with this store the moment I walked in. It is truly a mother's paradise, as I call it. Children's clothes are expensive! My daughter is 19 months old, and she grows so quickly that I do not want to spend a lot of money on clothing. When I come to this store, I always leave with something. I have bought everything from jeans, to polo shirts, picnic table, books, and bigger toys that would normally cost a fortune! I am so happy and thankful to have found a store like this near me!

I am a frequent shopper at the Once Upon a Child in TN. Recently, I was able to drop off a bag of maternity suits and outfits and I received almost $40.00. I turned around and used that money the following weekend and got adorable designer clothes for my daughters. The clothes are of great quality and I don't feel so overwhelmed about buying clothes for my kids and spending hundreds of dollars. It's important for me to be a smart shopper because I have three children to clothe, and I'm able to do so, thanks to Once Upon a Child.

I had been searching for a double jogging stroller for a few weeks unsuccessfully at two of my very local Once Upon A Child locations, and decided enough is enough one day. So I branched out to another location about 20 miles north of me by calling first to see if they had one. They did, and held it for me until I could get there a few hours later. Upon arrival the stroller was tagged as a hold for me and the ladies were more than happy to allow me to see if it would fit in my trunk. As it turned out it did but I wasn't that thrilled with the color and decided to look around for a while, while considering if I was going to indeed make the purchase another one came in, while the store was buying it I gave it a once over and knew that the one they were receiving was the one I wanted. I finished my shopping and purchased the one they had just received for 5 dollars more than the one I was going to get in the first place. Very satisfied customer ! I will be back for more for sure :)

I wanted to buy my 3 year old daughter a snow outfit early this year because I am expecting in January, and didn't want to wait til the snow came, I would be to big!!! So I tried 5 different stores, and nowhere had anything, no coats, snowpants, only hats and mittenns. So I tried Once Upon A Child, and not only did they have a selection on what I was looking for, but I walked out of that store with a 2 piece jacket and snowpants by Lands End, and I paid less than $20!!! I was in heaven. And the best part is that she wasn't with me and it fit her perfectly. Thank god for these stores. They have saved me hundreds of dollars on clothing, and now my son will be a Once Upon A Child kid. Thanks a lot to the girls who work in the Williston, Vermont store. You always help when we need it, and are always to give suggestions. And they are usually right. :]

I consider myself a professional consignment/thrift store shopper. I have been shopping at Once Upon A Child for 5 years. I love stocking up on clothes for my girls Zoe and Malina. My friends cannot believe how inexpensive the clothes are and to boot, I can sell clothes there too. If only there was a Once Upon a Woman! Then I could have great clothes like my girls.

Kristina

I absolutely love this store! I can't stand walking through the mall and looking at all the cute clothes in the retail stores that I would just love to dress my son in knowing that I can't afford them. When a Once Upon a Child opened in our area, I was soooo excited! I can now afford to dress him in gymboree, gap, polo etc., and not feel a bit bad about it! I just bought him 2 huge bags of winter clothes today, and I only spent $114.00 for an entire winter wardrobe! That includes a coat and boots too! Looooove this place!!!! And now I have the best dressed 18 month old at daycare!

Once Upon A Child is really great when it comes to finding what you need at a low price and also buying the clothes you don't want anymore. I buy a lot of my clothes there and they have all become my favorites!

We live in Wilmington, NC and have 3 small babies, 1 set of twins and an older child. The workers at our store are so kind to help locate any item we are looking for. They have even helped us find matching outfits for the girls in the same size so we can dress our twin girls alike. We thank them so much for their time to answer questions and help us to find what we are looking for. If you call ahead of time they will tell you wether or not they have what you're looking for in stock and a price idea so there's no wasted trips. We love the savings on clothing for our kids by shopping at Once Upon a Child, and the friendliness of it's worker's they have been of great help to our family in several past experiences.

Rachel

I was told about this store from my neighbor and what a great store it is. I was looking for a jumperoo for my son, but every other used store I went for wanted over $50 for one. I went to Once Upon a Child and got a nice jumperoo for only $30. It is in brand new condition and my son loves it. They even let you try the toys out before you buy them, they will even put batteries in it also. I love this store and Im even heading there today to sell some of my sons toys he no longer plays with, so I can buy him some bigger clothes. We all know how fast babies grow and this store is a great help.

I consider myself blessed to have found Once Upon A Child. I lost my job when I was six months pregnant and had no idea how I was going to get everything the baby needed. I shopped around at outlet and department stores and got really depressed. I saw your store sign and started to browse. I have been making weekly shopping trips ever since. I have purchased all of my baby items because the price is so cheap. Thanks to Once Upon A Child, Princess-Zaria now has a full wardrobe and nursery when she arrives.

Teri

I love love love Once Upon A Child!!! My daughter just turned 2 and I purchase all her clothes at this great store. I go at the beginning of every season and stock up. My recent trip I got tons of fall and winter clothes and 2 beautiful coats. There were 2 giant bags and I only spent $184.00. I was beyond excited, everyone always says how cute she always looks and I am happy to tell them were we shop!!

Kasey

Indiana

I have 4 kids from the age of 6 to 1. I love going to Once Upon A Child to get things. I find such nice close for a fraction of the cost. With 4 kids it's hard to shop name brand and brand new. At Once Upon A Child you can get both sometimes. I like that when the kids outgrow their clothes I can bring them in and get store credit. Without stores like this there is no way I could afford to buy clothes as much as I do. Thanks so much.

Skye

I absolutely love this store. Everything they have it so nice! If I didn't know most of these items were used before I would've thought they were new from the quality. I bought my son a Columbia winter coat for $25! I would've had to pay much more if I bought it new but it's in the same condition. Would recommend this store to everyone!

Chris

Colorado

I am anxiously awaiting my first grandchild's arrival in less than two weeks and need a lot of "baby stuff" at Grandma's House for the days our baby will spend with me. Your store was the PERFECT answer to all my needs and was SO easy on the pocketbook. I bought everything I'll need for less than one item would have cost new. I'm thrilled!!!!! Even picked up brand new and adorable holiday outfits in exactly the right sizes at an unbelieveable price. I'm so happy to find you guys and know I will visit often in the next few years.

Keri

I found Once Upon a Child when my son's were little and I worked in Dublin. I always got him great clothes and at a great price. Now my son's are grown and I have a grandson. My mother-in-law and I LOVE Grandparents Day and shop for my grandson there regularly. I am in fact planing a trip there soon since winter clothes season will be upon us soon! Thanks for having such a great store!

My friend was getting a foster child and she had nothing for the child which is only 3 months old. I called around and found a crib which also came with the mattress for only $80 and they saved it for her until she could pick it up! Thank you, Once Upon A Child!

Tamara

There is nothing more I can say about this store than it is AMAZING!!!!!!!

Diane

South Carolina

Ok here's my experience. Every time I go into Once Upon a Child I walk out spending less than $50 and have oodles of clothes and usually a piece of furniture whether it be a stroller, pack n play or even a car seat. I'm a new grandmother so having duplicate things is easier than having my daughter lug everything from her house, but it's not always cheap. When my daughter told me about Once Upon a Child, I bought so many clothes for my grandson that day and he hadn't even been born yet. Now I've been buying friends clothes for their children and I'm the talk of the party when I show up with 10 outfits for the same price they paid for just 1. Do I love this store? Oh yes I do!!!!!

Nicole

Oklahoma

I grew up in Indiana and moved to Oklahoma 6 years ago. I was just back in Indiana visiting family and while on my visit was taken to a Once Upon A Child store and I just fell in love. I found one located in OKC, but it is about three hours away from me. I really wish someone would open one in Muskogee. I love the idea and the set up. I think it was the best store thought up of.

Heather

Michigan

I went in to the Ann Arbor location to get fall jackets for my kids; my son is almost four and my daughter is two and a half. I got both of them a jacket for under seven dollars! December of 2008, I got them each a pair of dress shoes and a dressy outfit for Hanukkah for under 20 bucks! I love Once Upon a Child!

Kathryn

Tennessee

I discovered my first Once Upon a Child in Ohio before I was even pregnant and I always told myself that I would not spend tons of money on clothing my children would outgrow in a few months. So when I found out I was pregnant 5 months ago the first place I went for Maternity Clothes was Once Upon A Child. I ended up getting 3 tops and 2 pairs of jeans for under $40, which is what you would pay for 1 pair of jeans somewhere else. My husband is in the military so a few weeks ago we ended up moving down to Tennessee. I was bummed that we had to leave the area before we found out the gender, but I was so thrilled when I found another location not even 5 minutes from our house! The day we found out we are having a baby girl we went straight in and bought 10 total items of clothing for $35 and all of it is so cute and fantastic looking. I can't wait to go shopping some more in the coming months for everything else our sweet baby girl is going to need!

Yari

Well, where do I begin. I went to visit family in Superior Township, MI and my Aunt just bragged about this store and here I am doing the same. Never had I been to a second hand store, let alone one for children. This fall came so fast and I wondered how and where I was going to get the money to be able to provide a whole new wardrobe for my 3 year old. I would get sick to my stomach everytime I would walk in to a store and buy an outfit for my 3 year old that cost just as much for one of my outfits. Yes, I have expensive taste, but why does my wallet have to suffer just because I want my daugther to look nice?? My Aunt brought me to Once Upon a Child and I am hooked. I was able to walk out w/ two huge bags of clothes which came out to be 5 loads of laundry, without the bad feeling...Some items still had tags on them and shoes never worn and mostly everything were high end brand names that I would refuse to buy because of their prices. So not only is she set for fall, winter and spring, Mommy is happy and my 3 year old has never looked better in her new clothes. I am so very thankful for having been turned on to Once Upon A Child. Totally hooked!!!

Eny

I love your store. I shop there all the time and bring my clothes to sell ...I allways find great deals. With the money I receive I use to buy the next size up for both my children at the same store.

Samantha

Wisconsin

I love your store!!! Not only do I shop there, but I use to work for your store. My kids loved the clothes and toys that I would get there. And they loved coming to see me at work cause there was so much for them to do, and there was a section just for kids so they could play. I ended up moving away from that town to a smaller town and wish there was a store near me now.

Maria

People always ask me what do I do with my kids clothes? I usually give it away, then a friend told me to try selling it. So I tried it and I was so suprised they paid me $247.00 for a my clothes. Then I found lots in the store that were gently used - some still have tags on it. The books and toys are so cheap I never had a hard time saying no to my kids. :} I went back there a few times selling clothes and buying some more. I really enjoy it because it is like swapping stickers when you were a kid. It is also teaching recyling to your kids.

Sarah

When my husband and I found out that we were expecting a baby I was kinda scared because I did not know how I was going to afford the cute cloths for my child. At one of my check ups we were finding out the sex of our child when they told us we were having twins!!! I was freaking out!
After the appointment I was driving down the road and I saw a sign for Once Upon A Child. When I went in I was surprised they had so many clothes, toys, and even cuppies at great prices. I had not yet bought a lot of stuff for our babies - that day I found a double stroller that was almost new. It has been a yeara nd my two kids are as happy as ever and dressed cute every day thanks to Once Upon A Child. Thank you and great work.

I love both the Evansville and Terre Haute, Indiana stores. I love shopping there for my son. The clothes are always clean and in great condition. More than anything...they are always priced reasonable. That is what means the most! The people are very helpful and always kind. Kristy Indiana

I have 3 kids and it's not always easy to buy toys or cloths but at Once Upon A Child I know I can find new or used clothes or toys for amazing prices. The staff is friendly and willing to help and I love the fact that you can trade and sell old things that your kids or even yourself cant use anymore! This store has really helped me when I didn't have enough money for fancy stores but since Once Upon A Child carries brand names, and has very reasonable prices I don't worry my kids will go without as long as there is a Once Upon A Child! I LOVE THIS STORE ITS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE (MY HUSBANDS TOO) :)

I went into Once Upon A Child for the first time today and was just simply amazed at the quality of products and prices. I have two daughters age 6 and 8 and found great clothes for the winter - exactly what I was looking for. I am also 12 weeks pregnant and once I find out what I am having I know where I'm going for the new babies stuff. Thank you so much for keeping the prices affordable in this time of need. Yours truly Sabrina.

Rose

A great big thank you to the ladies in the Once Upon a Child in Fayetteville, NC! Today when I stopped in and bought a dresser/changing table, the ladies kindly carried it and put it in my car for me. Their helpfulness was greatly appreciated since at 8 months pregnant, its a little hard to get my arms around big, heavy objects anymore. Thanks for the great customer service!!

I had never heard of Once Upon A Child, I was walking around trying to find a birthday present for my son who was turning 1 and I was on a strict budget. So I decided to check the store out and I was amazed at what I had stumbled into. I found 2 toys for under $10.00 - I would have paid well over $40.00 for at retail stores brand new. Not to mention the clothes.With 3 children 6, 3 and 1, I have definitely found a new place to shop!!! Thank you so much Once Upon A Child. I am a customer for life:)

Once Upon A Child has always had the best prices on name brand clothes. We shop there on a regular basis since we are living on a tight budget & having 4 children to buy for, we could never find better pricing on their clothes.

I needed 3 complete summer wardrobes for my 2 boys and my daughter this summer. I went to Once Upon A Child and got all 3 of my kids' wardrobes for $89. I was absolutely shocked at the price and the condition of the clothing, I got exactly what I needed for less than what my budget allowed. I appreciate everything Once Upon A Child has done for me in these financially hard times.

Annette

Ever since I decided to quit my full time job to become a stay-at-home mom I'm constantly looking for bargains everywhere I go but I do tend to go with the "name" brand clothing however, at your store I can find the same "name" brand clothing that I love so much for a fraction of the price that I would pay in their stores. I'm always very pleased by how much stuff you have to choose from I never walk out of the store empty handed! One shopping experience that my husband and I had was we bought a bumbo seat and other stores it would of been around $30 but at your store we picked one up for around $10! I was so pleased there was nothing wrong with it we just had to sanitize it when we got home but worked like new! We will continue to shop in your store for many more times to come! Happy shopping! Annette

My mother and I go to Once Upon A Child often. And when I got a baby brother that store is where we go for three quarters of his clothes. And also we found a big brand new package of American girl books. For only $6.50.

This past weekend was my first trip to Once Upon A Child. I love this store they have the best deals !!! I bought my one year old his Halloween outfit and only paid &8.50 for it WOW!!! I will be returning very soon!!!

Laura

As a mother of three children I shop at our Indiana store quite a bit, I also resell the clothing they outgrow all the time. It works out really well, I always take the store credit and am able to get them new clothes and shoes. They have all the name brands we love, for great prices.

Michelle

When my daughter Kara was born, I decided to put my career on hold and stay home with her. My husband is a fire fighter and being on his income alone has made it necessary for both of us to cut back on expenses. Several people recommended Once Upon A Child to me, but I had a preconceived notion about "resale shops" and thought the items would be too worn and dirty.

The 1st time I walked into Once Upon A Child, I was completely impressed! I have now filled up several Customer Appreciation Cards and purchased everything from a jogging stroller and exerscauser, to clothes, toys, books, and DVD's. I am addicted to gathering up Kara's unused items and outgrown clothes and trading them in for other items. It's like shopping for FREE! I brag about your stores to everyone I know. I even mentioned it to a friend who lives in Lafayette, LA and she checked out the store there! Thank you Once Upon A Child for maintaining such wonderful stores and having the compassion to help others!

ZirkyFamily

I have always heard great things about Once Upon A Child; however, we have never been to one. On our first visit, our daughter who is 16 months found a kid-sized cart and started walking around the store, "shopping" like an adult. She would touch and sift through the racks...when all of a sudden a pair of ELMO slippers caught her eye! She quickly pushed her way along and put "MoMo" in her cart, along with some blocks and clothes. All the items were so affordable and fun to buy!

Nikki

Ohio

The first time I went to Once Upon A Child was on my youngest childs b-day in Louisville, KY. I was not prepared at all for his party. I had to find his gift's, so we decided to check out the store. I could not believe it when I went in. I ended up getting all his present's at Once Upon A Child. We only spent $100 on all of his gift; clothes, toys, shoes, and many other great thing. Because we saved so much money on presents, we too them to Chuck E Cheese for his 1st b-day. Now I have a great place to give the things my children have grown out of, and know they will help someone else someday. Once Upon A Child you are all wonderful!

DONNA

I went to the Once Upon A Child in Fayetteville, NC last night and sold some items! It was a great experience and more that I expected. Great girls working - they were nice even thought I was there 20 minutes after closing. Monique and all of the others who were working on 9/8/09 - thanks again! I will be back soon. Riley loves wearing all of her new clothes!

Elizabeth

South Bend

I shop for my 2yr. old son at Once Upon A Child, especially for shoes! I even work at a popular Children's store and can not get shoes that reasonable. My son even likes to go there to play while I shop, that is very convenient! I'm on a very tight budget and between yard sales and Once Upon A Child make it a lot easier! Thank You!!

Crystal

Alaska

I discovered Once Upon A Child in Ohio when I was pregnant with my son. My husband is military so we knew we would be moving soon after our sons birth and not knowing if there would be another Once Upon A Child in the area so we stocked up! Now two years later we have our very first Once Upon A Child here in the interior of Alaska and I am so excited!! I have already been finding the great deals that I remembered and missed from before. I'm able to give my son so much for less than what just the basics would have cost elsewhere. Thank you!!

I recently visited a Once Upon A Child store in Ft. Collins Colorado. This was my 2nd time in the store. I brought in a bag of my sons used clothing, and was very impressed with the quote I received, surprised actually! The employees were very friendly and especially helpful. I was also excited to see the large selection of quality used clothing. Overall on a scale of 1-10 - I would rate my experience a 10! Thanks Once Upon A Child, for making my experience with your Ft. Collins store, easy and hassle free! Sincerely, Liz Walkup

Elise

Tennessee

Being on a very limited budget having our first child, Once Upon A Child has been a life saver!! I walked in and was greeted by a very sweet and knowledgable staff. The store had soo many things to choose from. I only had $20.00 to spend on clothes at the time and I walked out with about 13 items. The most expensive item of clothing I had was $3.00!! Everything was cute and in great condition... some still with the original price tag. I knew I was getting a great deal and I tell everyone who has a child/children or is pregnant to shop there. Ya'll are awesome!!!

I have 6 children and I am always shopping for clothes and looking for a good bargain! I love Once Upon A Child and have shopped there for many years! They always have the best deals on anything for kids!

Brittany

I go to the Wexford location as often as I can, it is about a 45 minute trip but it is so worth it! I take bins of my sons items in everytime I go and walk out with cash in hand and also get some clothing for him. As a single mom cash is tight,but I can get him everything he needs at this store! I love it so much! =)

Brandy Denis

I went to Once Upon A Child just to look for my first child and found out this store is amazing! Name brand clothing for cheap prices. My oldest child is 4 and my youngest is 2. We go to this store every spring and fall for new clothes. It is amazing and I am glad to have this store in Vermont!

Cheri

I'm expecting my first grandchild and I was looking for nice items at a reasonable cost. My sister told me about the store in Northdale and I went there and the staff was friendly and the items were like brand new. Great prices and great items. I will shop more there in the future.

Michelle

Arizona

I have been going to this location for about 4 years. Love it I'm always able to find great price, better the Wal-mart, Kmart and all the others that offer like 50% or more. I wish they were more stores since I have moved in Mesa, Arizona. Now I only go at the Chandler location when I hang out with my mom because she lives close . So anyone in Arizona check it out. You will find good deals.

Jessica

I am so grateful to have a secondhand shop that pays cash for my daughters old clothes. She grows so fast that I buy clothes and then turn around and buy another size before I know it. Here I can sell the old and buy the new in one shop. I came in the other day looking for jeans for her. I could not find them anywhere for sizes under 12 months. You had them and you had a variety in stock. Your prices were very reasonable too. My mother was looking for an exersaucer for my daughter for months. She did not want to spend a lot of money. Couldn't find one under $60. Came in and walked out with one for $25- in great shape. You staff is wonderful. I am so thankful to have you right around the corner!

Jody

I love the Once Upon A Child store in Rochester. As a parent of four young children (ranging in age from 5-8) I cant afford buying name brand clothing for them. Coming into your store where the clothing is slightly used and sometimes new, I'm able to buy twice as much. I also love how I can shop and the kids can play in the play area.

Tricia

Ohio

If it weren't for Once Upon A Child, I don't know what I would do! I can buy my son's entire wardrobe for a season for what I would have spent on like 5 outfits at another store. It also gives me the opportunity to sell some things that we just don't need anymore. Thanks Once Upon AChild!

Sharon

I was sent to you from a consultant I have been dealing with for my sons Autism. I was looking for a stroller and the medical company had one for $900, I don't have that kind of money for a stroller so he mentioned Once Upon A Child in Enfield, CT had one with the same concept FOR $30!!! I called ahead they said they still had it, they put my name on it and when I got there I was SOO impressed with everything I bought more than just the stroller! It was worth the trip! THANK YOU!

Jessica

I stumbled on Once Upon A Child after hearing about it from a friend a year ago. I was in Heaven in that place! I loved it, I got so many good deals. My 2yr old son was in need of a summer wardobe and I was broke. I spent $7 and got him set for the whole summer, I think about 17-20 pieces and dress clothes too. I plan on going back now that winter is approaching. Plus, I'm expecting another and I know I saw maternity in there the last visit. Oh, and I forgot to mention I was by myself with my son. He is awful rambunctious at times. They even had a little play area with other kids he could play in while I browsed. I will recommend this place to everyone!

I love Once Upon A Child. My daughter was born 3 months premature (May 14, 2009) and was only weighing 1lb and 6oz. We didn't have any baby clothes to fit her tiny body when she came home. My husband's hours had been cut at work and we really couldn't afford to shop and buy anything new out of the department stores.

The week the hospital released my daughter we needed to go buy her an outfit to come home in. So over the weekend, I had a friend take me to Once Upon A Child. Oh boy did I pick the right time to go. They were having a huge sale. They had a whole rack of baby clothes for only a $1.00. I felt like I just had won the jackpot. Not only was I able to get my daughter preemie clothes, I was able to get her other sizes as well. I spent $50 that day and walked out with bags of clothes for my daughter. I was happy that I even found her a cute outfit to wear home from the hospital. Besides the great bargains the customer service was also excellent. Once Upon A Child is definitely a store I will always continue to shop at for my children.

I love going to the store in Fairview Heights. I always find some bargains. I have been going there for 6 years and am very satisfied. Last time, I found some very cute Halloween costumes. I was so excited. I also found some really cute clothes for my daughter who is a first grader. I usually always find some good books at dirt cheap prices. :)

My husband and I have 2 children Korey who is 3 years old and Natalie she is 7 months old. We go there just about 3 times a month. You can find just about anything you want. Korey loves playing with all the toys. I love Once Upon A Child. Thanks.

misty

I love the Once Upon A Child store that is in Knoxville. We go there and sell and buy a lot of our kids clothes and toys. We have three kids so it cost us a lot to go anywhere else to buy clothes for them, but why would anyone want to go somewhere else when you can get it all for any age boy or girl right there in one store at great prices. Once again we love Once Upon A Child. Thank You!

OMG!! Today was the first time I heard of Once Upon A Child. I'm a bargain shopper and can not believe I have never heard of this store!! I was told of this store today and went by just to see what I could find for my fast growing son. WOW! To my surprise I found a well kept store with everything I was looking for and more. As an added plus, the employees are awesome! I will definitely return to the Harlem and Foster store for the rest of my son's clothing needs!! WOW!

I had the pleasure of visiting your store in Goldsboro and it felt just wonderful. I am a Nana with 2 new babies one is 6 weeks old and one is 3 1/2 months. In this time of $$$ burden every $$ counts when I went to Once Upon A Child a great burden was lifted! I was able not only to buy things for the babies at a price I could afford, but the things there are very, very nice and look like new I respect these people for only accepting the best and allowing the public to purchase at a price we can afford. Thanks very much from me and my family.

I always shop at your store in Roswell, Georgia. The staff is AMAZING and very kind. Linda, who is the mother of the owner, is such a kind person. I had been looking for a toy vacuum for my toddler, and Mrs. Burke located one, bought it and held it for me! It made me feel like truly a valued customer. Every time I go in I am greeted, and it is such a warm and welcoming environment. Very neat and organized. I will always shop there!!!!

I had my daughter and she had congenital heart defects so she was in the hospital for the first three months of her life. At the hospital they had this sturdy looking crib mobile from Sassy and she loved the sounds, well needless to say I could not get one online at Sassy and the ones I did find were 45.00 used or 80.00 new. So on a spur of the moment we stopped into Once Upon A Child and the second crib mobile I saw was the one I wanted. I cried for joy and was so excited I had saved so much money. It was only 12.00!!! Thank you for giving me the chance to purchase the things that are a little pricer for less.

Once Upon A Child, helped me and my fiance get everything my daughter needed. I've recommended this store to all of my friends who are expecting mothers! I love Once Upon A Child!!!!

I have been shopping at Once Upon A Child since my 1st son was born....for 10 years! I now have 2 more kids and I still shop for them here. When they grow out of the clothes, I make bring my items back to Once Upon A Child and the extra cash comes in handy. The staff deserves an A++++ for their superb and friendly service. Thanks gals!

I am an avid Once Upon A Child customer! I absolutely LOVE this store!! My son is 11 weeks old and just about EVERY piece of clothing he has (not including the gifts) are from Once Upon A Child. The prices are fair and my son grows out of everything so fast I can't keep up! I just stock up on larger clothing from Once Upon A Child whenever I get a chance! When I lived in California I would travel to all three stores in my surrounding area in a day. They are 15-30 miles apart! I make it an all day event!! I remember spending $50 and leaving with TWO large bags full of clothes (Carters, GAP, Gymboree) before my son was born when the store had their 50% off yellow tags and 30% off green tag sale! I now live in Louisiana and am so glad that one just opened up in Mandeville! I can't wait to make it a bi-weekly trip even though it's a 40 mile haul!!

I'm a first time mother and didn't even know where to begin. But I am so thankful to Once Upon A Child. With the economy the way it is right now it's difficult to go to department stores because I usually can only come out of there with one item or maybe an outfit, depending on the price. Once Upon A Child has great prices and great quality items. I refer all of my friends to Once Upon aA Child. I've been to other consignment stores but none even come close! Thank you for helping me give my daughter, Aaliyah (11 months), everything she needs!

I am a grandmother of 10. My grandmother told me about Once Upon A Child when my oldest daughter was a little girl and I have been shopping there ever since. I work right around the corner from the store and go by almost everyday buying for my grandchildren. With the way they grow why spend the unnecessary high dollar for items you can get that look just as good for a smaller fee, plus you can get more. I try to help out with my grands as much as as I can and Once Upon A Child makes that possible. I tell everyone I know about Once Upon A Child. Thank you Once Upon A Child for this wonderful blessing. Keep up the good work.

My husband, daughter and I LOVE Once Upon A Child! We were introduced to it when our little one was just over a year old. Now she is 4 and we still go there more so because it makes economic sense than anything else. The clothing choices are better than that at a regular department store in that we are able to keep our daughter looking like a "little girl". We LOVE Once Upon A Child!

I am due with a little girl in September and shopping at Once Upon A Child has saved me so much money, and I haven't even had her yet! Being a teen parent can be very difficult especially with the way the economy is today. I love knowing that Once Upon A Child is right down the street for all of my babies needs!

I AM THE PROUD MOTHER OF 1 YEAR OLD TWIN BOYS ASHTON AND BRAXTON I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITHOUT ONCE UPON A CHILD. I WOULD BE PAYING TRIPLE IN THE DEDPARTMENT STORES AND I LOVE THAT WHEN THEY GROW OUT OF THERE STUFF I JUST SELL IT BACK. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Michelle

I love these stores! The quality of clothes, the brand names and the sizes! It's amazing! I just saved over $600.00 by taking my 3 kids to the Fox Valley location for all of their back-to-school clothes shopping! Everything was bought in 1 trip and in less than 2 hours! And now I can go back whenever and get 20% off. This is the place to shop for kids who grow non-stop! Or if you have daughters (like me) that always need something new and different than what's hanging in the closet.

Becky

Once Upon A Child is one of my favorite stores! I am pregnant with my second child and I have already started buying things from Once Upon A Child. I go to buy clothing at any regular store and I get sticker shock at the prices. Once Upon A Child always has a huge selection, way more than they have at any other store, and everything is in great condition, for a fantastic price. I also love their 10 for 10 sales, I always get the best clothes at even better prices. However the best thing I ever bought at Once Upon A Child was a Radio Flyer bouncy horse. They sell for $80 new and I only paid $20!! It was in perfect condition and my daughter loves it!

It can get to be really expensive shopping for twin girls! Thanks to Once Upon A Child I save tons of money on clothes and shoes that are hardly worn! Its the perfect place to buy all your baby and toddler items for half the cost of other store brands!

I LOVE Once Upon A Child!!!! My husband and I had our first child in February this year and I wish I would have known about the store before she was born. We spent over $500 in Babies'R'Us before she was born getting misc., stuff she needed and we spent maybe $200 on maternity clothes for me. Had I known I would have gotten all my clothes and most of Tessa's stuff at your stores instead of paying an arm and a leg at the other stores. I also love that our closest store carries a lot of toys. I think you can spend just as much money on baby toys as you can on clothes. We live close to Missouri so I have also been to a couple stores there and it has always been worth the drive. My husband and I plan to have more kids soon so I haven't sold any of my daughters clothes yet, but if we have a boy next I am definitely going to Once Upon A Child. Thanks sooo much for such a great store!!!

Cookie

My mother and I found Once Upon A Child when I was pregnant. I love this store! My son Malachai grows fast, so I'm grateful we found a place to trade clothes too. He outgrew most of his newborn clothes before he had a chance to wear them. I'll always remember his first car seat came from this store cause the toys are great too.

Chrissy

This was the first year I took my children (9 and 10) to the store for school clothes shopping. I'm usually a very thrifty shopper anyway and can come out with a lot of clothes under $100 a child. My kids went and had a blast themselves "digging for gold" for clothes. In the end, they each walked out w/ TWO HUGE bags of clothes that they loved and picked out themselves for under $75 each ! I was able to buy more clothes than I ever have. I'm also expecting my 3rd child and have found the maternity clothes at the Fort Collins store to be GREAT with affordable prices. Our family will definitely be returning customers!

Mary

I just wanted to say how much I love the Manchester, Connecticut store.I have been shopping there for about a year, since my first son was born. I love the employees, they are so kind and always willing to help. At first I was very skeptical about shopping at a used clothing store but it was all worth it in end. The Manchester, CT store is so clean and greatly organized. I have become friends with a couple of the young friendly employees who always have a smile on. I recommended this store to many of my closest friends and I am happy to tell everyone to visit this store when then they are in the area!

Bettina

I found out about your store from a lady that I was taking a birthing class with. She told me about the 15 dollar grab bag sales you have. I love the fact that I can sell the clothes that are too small for my children and then get clothes that fit them all at the same store. The clothes are nice and don't even look like they have been worn. Thank you very much for such a smart idea!!

tabitha

I love Once Upon A Child I wouldn't know what to do without this store. I go in to Once Upon A Child at least once a week. I sell all my kids clothes and toys there. Last week I went into Once Upon A Child and spent $30 and saved over $250. Thanks Once Upon A Child.

I had no idea such a store existed right down the street from where I live until I had my daughter this past April. I'm in loove with this store. Audrey is 3 months old this week and had a growing spurt and is like the hulk w/ sleepers haha!! So off to Once Upon A Child I go!! I saved $45 at one of the "buy 1 get 3 free" events for her fall clothing. They look brand new! I am so thankful you exist!!! Now she can always look super cute and I don't have to break the bank :) I appreciate you!!

I just went to Cambridge's bag sale, We stuffed 3 bags for $30.00 and she told us our total before the sale price was over $330.00! What a deal! I didn't really look at the clothes well we just grabbed clothes for that price, when I came home and looked at our purchases, nothing was wrong with the clothing, no stains, no rips, no missing buttons, and they were almost all name brand clothes. What a great store! I have been telling all my friends with kids to check it out!

Annie

Started school shopping for my three kids at "normal" stores and was so depressed at how much I would have to spend!!!! I am new to the area so I started researching second hand stores. My daughter and I went to the Once Upon A Child on Foster Street and got so much good stuff!!! I loved it and can't wait to go back and finish school shopping! It is so nice to take your daughter shopping and be able to tell her that "you can get anything here that you like," as opposed to at the other stores, "you can only get what's on sale!" We had so much fun. The store was clean and organized and easy to shop in! Thanks again, Once Upon A Child. Annie

I just got home from Once Upon A Child and I spent $33.00 it was one of the $1.00 sales and had it not been I would have spent $205.00!!!! Check out that deal.

We went to visit my fiances aunt in Wyoming and she had been telling us about this amazing children's store that she worked at. She took us there and between 3 of us we spent $300!! And the best part is we are beginning to buy things for our wedding and we found a tux to fit our oldest son for the wedding for $9!!! Can you believe that $9!!!! Thanks Aunt Anita now we went online and found a store in our state I'm sooo excited to go look now!!!

Amanda

The whole family went to the opening of the Sayville store today right after the opening time. The place was PACKED! Everyone was having so much fun looking for things. Can't wait to go back. We picked up a couple thing for our son (4 months) and now we will be back. This is such a wonderful idea...good for the environment...good in this economy. We are total fans!

erica

I can't tell you how much we love Once Upon A Child! We find such great deals on clothes for our son. This is the place to go when you want name brand, great-looking clothes without the hefty price. Thank you!!

I love Once Upon A Child! I am a newly divorced mother of 4. Two of which are newborn twin boys. Once Upon A Child has saved me so much money. What I purchased there would has saved me over $1000 in regular stores (that claim they are cheaper). I also have the option of exchanging or selling the items back as my boys grow. God bless the brains behind this operation! I can't see myself shopping anywhere else for the next 8 yrs or so!

Amber

I love going in the store to check out the new items but most recently I bought my son 4 pairs of pants for this upcoming winter and spent a total of 25 bucks including tax. I would never have gotten out that cheap at "brand name" retailer this day and age. Thank you Once Upon A Child for always offering great quality at such a reasonable price. See you soon!!!

I have two very young children and I love this store. It came in very handy especially with my 2nd child. I'm still looking for a double stroller so I'm in there at least once a week. I love it!!! They are a great store and have everything I could have possibly thought of.

Julie

I have been to two different stores and during my three spending sprees I have bought 49 pieces of clothing for under $80! When I told my parents they were so excited when I go visit them I'm taking them to one in their state. These are great pieces at outstanding prices! I can't wait to see my niece and nephew grow into them! This is a great place for someone on a budget but still wants to spoil their little ones! Thank you so so so much!!!

Our family loves Once Upon A Child! My mother shopped there for my brothers and I while we were growing up, and now I shop there for my two children. I also sell my children's outgrown clothes and am always happy with how much they pay me. We have found so many wonderful things there, including our stroller, baby swing and jumperoo - all for under $75, and in amazing condition! I believe we will continue doing business with Once Upon A Child for many years to come - who knows, my children might be shopping there for THEIR kids one day! Here is a photo of Betsy Joy, our eldest, in a Baby Gap dress we bought at Once Upon A Child. It was practically brand new!

Went to the store on Colonial Drive in Orlando and loved it! The reception was great, not too overbearing and the staff was very helpful. I texted 4 friends to let them know, told my professional daycare provider (private) about it so she could spread the word....hope it stays through this economy!!! This place is clean, bright, and clothes/toys are priced to sell....did I say I love it? :)

I registered to be a contact on their website and received an email telling me that there would be a huge sale at certain hours of the day. My sister and I went at the latest hours of the day, which was after 4:00 pm where we could catch the biggest percentage off, which was 70%. So as I’m walking around with tons of clothes on one arm and hangers on the other, I’m wondering exactly how much I’m going to save and how come I have the most stuff in my hands. I felt a little crazy after awhile and decided to go check out. I felt a little embarrassed cuz I had so much stuff but I went for it. About mid way into ringing my items I had to stop the clerk and ask how much we were at and she said $92.13, my eyes got buck, then she said that’s before the sale so she kept ringing. Finally at the end she told me my total was $66.27, I was ecstatic. I found so many dresses for my daughter and that’s what she needed the most. I also found a lot of jean shorts and even some nice black leather sandals. Everything I got was right on time and by me being a young, single-parent it’s not that easy to get seasonal clothes right away so……….I thank God for places like this because some of us out here really need it.

Jessica

Went to the Once Upon A Child store in Minnetonka today for their Grab Bag sale for the clearance items, my total for everything in my bag came to $350.00 and I only had to pay $10.00. When I got home I checked to see what estimated total was for everything I bought and it ended up being $0.16 per item. I was very happy about this and plan to attend the next grab bag sale and everyone else after that. I can feel at ease if my child never wears something cause I know I paid next to pennies for the items.

Today was the first day that I ever went inside of a Once Upon A Child and I have to say that I am forever hooked. Being an expectant mom its nice to know that there is somewhere that I can go that provide affordable accessories. I really enjoyed my visit and the staff was very helpful. I am telling everyone that I know about Once Upon A Child.

I have been shopping at Once Upon A Child ever since I was a little girl with my own mother. Now I go there to shop with my 13 year old daughter who thankfully still fits into the clothes at Once Upon A Child! There employees are great and I love the prices ! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

I am an avid Once Upon A Child shopper, but had never sold anything. My husband and I decided to do a deep clean on our kid's room before the first birthday of the year. We ended up with 2 huge rubbermade tubs full of stuff our children had outgrown or were tired of playing with. I took the stuff up to the store and was told it would be about 30 minutes. I ran some additional errands and returned to the shop. My stuff was done, and I was told I would be receiving quite a large amount of money. I was talking to the cashier about my daughter's upcoming birthday. I told her I was looking for a certain style of doll house and was going to use the money to use on the gift. She looked at me and told me that they had just put the same style of doll house on the floor and took me to see it. I bought it immediatly! Because I had the "birthday girl" with me, the cashier recognized my need for additional help. She offered to put the doll house in the trunk of my car- just so my daughter would have no idea we bought anything. I couldn't belive it! I was WOW-ED!!!!!

My husband and I chose to get married rather young (19 and 21) and found out I was pregnant only a month later...and we were worried since he had just lost his job. I was so stressed out after going to the one place that we thought would be cheapest and finding out that HOLY COW, baby things have gotten so expensive. Just 10 years ago when my cousin was born you could find a crib for $100 but now....whoa. We found an ADORABLE little bassinet that would have cost us over $100 in a retail store for only $30 at Once Upon A Child! My son, who isn't even born yet, already has a full wardrobe up until 9 months, a large supply of toys, diapers, wipes, a bouncer, swing, etc....and we got most of it from Once Upon A Child. My husband now has a new job and even though he now makes enough for the brand new things, we're in Once Upon A Child every week.

Children's stores in the malls can learn a thing or two from this store! when a store sells primarily children's clothes, toys and furniture, then it should be prepared to cater to children as well! This is what I saw today, and was I ever impressed !!!I went in for the first time today everything organized & clean! It was very well stocked, with a friendly & helpful staff! Not at all like any other children's stores I have ever been to ~ and I have been to a lot of them! They had a large & secure play area to keep the children occupied as well, while the parents shopped! I always shop at the malls to get the better brands & latest styles. I will check here first from now on!!! I was only there for a couple hours, but I could have spent the whole day looking through all the cool stuff they had! Most of the things in this store were brand new with price tags still on them, and the things that weren't ~ looked like they were barely worn at all!

I went in today with my 9 year old grand daughter, and I got almost a whole new summer wardrobe for her and only spent $70.00! I got LIMITED TOO, ABERCROMBIE, AREOPOSTALE, GAP & RALPH LAUREN! I can't wait to go back again! My daughter just found out she is pregnant a couple days ago. We can get just about everything she will need for the baby here! With the economy the way it is today, the price of just the furniture alone is outrageous! But here the strollers, swings and cribs all looked just as though they were never even used! The very best part of this store is the fact that after the children outgrow the stuff, they will buy them back if they are still in good condition! There is no reason whatsoever to go anywhere else! This is going to change the way I go shopping from now on!!!

Tracy

I love Once Upon A Child! I feel like that store is my 2nd home right now. I've bought clothes, bottles, toys, and a swing. Great deals and the people who work there have been great as well! I'm glad we have this store. :)

I love shopping with you all my little neeces and nephews. They looks beautiful in the great clothing that I purchased there. We look gorward to great clothing at a great price! Blessings to all your people and thanks for the great smiles I look forward to shopping some day for my grandbabys when I have some! Thanks again!

Kristina

Once upon a Child is AMAZING! My boy/girl twins are 2 right now and I can't tell you how much I've shopped there! With twins, you need multiples of everything, clothes, toys, shoes! With Once Upon A Child, I can give them as much as I could if I had only one at time. I'm amazed at how many times I leave there with clothes that still have the tags on them! Every time I've needed something specific, I check there first and am never disappointed! I've bought double strollers, tricycles, and just recently a HUGE outdoor playhouse. Those are things I'd never be able to buy new. Once Upon A Child lets you give your kids the childhood they deserve, regardless of your income. Everyone comments on how cute their clothes are and how well dressed they are all the time. I'm all too excited to tell everyone where they came from! Also, being able to reuse these items, instead of them going into a landfill, is the best lesson to teach my children.

Val

A co-worker of mine informed me of this store. I decided to go because my daughter had tons of Ralph Lauren outfits her granna bought that she barely wore! Once inside the store, I FELL INLOVE! Not only did I sell some really nice clothes, but also bought some really nice stuff that I had been searching everywhere for- unique bows, headbands, swim suits, and denims! Everything is so clean, neat and presentable, and presentation is what matters because no one wants to buy anything faded or stained. This store is high class retail without a doubt!

When I first found out I was pregnant I didn't know what to do. Me only being 17 was scary. I had no job, no money, and definitely no baby clothes or anything for my baby. When I heard about Once Upon A Child I was very happy. I went into the store and found numerous things I wanted for my baby for a very cheap price. I couldn't be any happier than I am now with my son. Thanks everyone! =)

I always used to drive by the store and never knew what it was until a friend and I became pregnant around the same time and she introduced me to it. My daughter will be a year June 9th and we've been dedicated shoppers there every since!! It's the best store ever for children because you never know when or how much they'll grow.

When I had my first child it was hard to afford things until I discovered Once Upon A Child. That is when I could afford to buy name brands for a great deal. Keep up all the good work!

I'm a single parent, and times have gotten hard. A friend told me about Once Upon A Child and I said, "OMG I forgot about that place!!" I went there and bought a few things for my daughter's crib at such a good price and all of the items were in good condition!! I was pleased and I will be shopping there again!

Shannon

I have to say this is a GREAT store. I have shopped at Once Upon A Child since my daughter was born and she is now seven. I continue to shop there for her and also for my son who is almost two. They are always very friendly and they have great stuff. Anytime I have the opportunity to tell some one about them I do. Great job guys! Shannon

Janice

I just love Once Upon A Child!! I can find my favorite brands for my boys like gently used Ralph Lauren, Old Navy and the Gap, at prices that you just can't resist! Both of my boy's wardrobes look like I spent hundreds and hundreds on them. Thanks Once Upon A Child =)

Lisa

I am going to shock a lot of you. But I have a 21 year old son, and a 18 month old daughter. Needless to say, I didn't have a lot of his things left over. And needed a lot. Where I live in PA, there are NO Once Upon a Child stores. But I do have family near Richmond, VA. We always go shop at the Once Upon A Child in Colonial Heights. I am traveling down to VA in a few days, and definitely going to check out the 2 Once Upon A Child stores in Richmond. I get my daughter lots of beautiful clothes when I visit my family. The good news is that my aunt gets my daughter lots of cute things when we aren't even visiting. Really wish someone would open up a store in Northeastern, PA.

Teresa

We love Once Upon A Child! We first shopped there because my daughter has a Lee Middleton doll that fits perfectly into preemie clothing. We found tons of outfits for a great price. Now that we are expecting our second child I know I will find great deals on clothes for him, my daughter, and her doll. I was also really impressed with the furniture and other goodies found at Once Upon A Child!!

Veronica

Me and my husband found out we were pregnant in November of 2008. After finding out the sex of our child (a boy), in February we tried our first "baby shopping" experiences. After realizing how much some of the items we needed were going to cost us we soon realized we were going to have to "second hand" some of the items. After searching throughout various stores we came across Once Upon A Child (Hickory location) and realized what a treat we had found. After purchasing the stroller, swing, bassinet, car seat, which clearly would have ran us near $400, we got all four less than $200. This store is a lifesaver. I can't wait to finish up our shopping soon!

My baby girl London Kennedy was born 1-15-09. I also have a three year old son Lil Ronnie, I sold things to Once Upon A Child when Ronnie was a baby. When we had London my husband and I wanted a black crib to match my sons bunk bed. I went to Once Upon A Child and found the perfect match and perfect price.

Time to trade the pink in for the blue...We just found out not more than a few days ago that we are expecting a little boy in September. I have saved everything from our little girl who turned 4 in March. It's nice to know that I can come in and the store will buy most of my girl items so I can purchase the little boy items that we need at pretty nice prices. This store is wonderful, thanks Once Upon A Child you are a lifesaver!!!

My 5 year old daughter is in a voice recital and my 17 year old daughter is going to her prom on the same day. WHEW!!! After spending over $300.00 on the 17 year old, money was getting very tight and I had not bought a dress yet for the 5 year old. Did I mention we are going to Disney a month later? :-) I found a beautiful "flower girl" dress at Once Upon A Child for $14.00. It was perfect and were the exact colors (purple and white) that was called for in the recital. We also found beautiful hair bows and accessories to match. There were so many to choose from and I took my child and she fell in love with this dress. My 17 year old would not be caught dead in anything from a consignment shop but the 5 year old absolutely LOVED IT!!! We are taking this dress to Disney and she will wear it at "Cinderella's Royal Breakfast" for her birthday. I looked online and saw this exact dress for $79.99. Thanks Once Upon A Child- Ann Arbor Store.

Ava

I found this store about a year ago and I fell in love. The clothes are so cheap, the equipment and toys are half the price they are in other stores. My daughter always has the latest fashions and I don't have to break the bank. The employees are so nice and well trained in baby products. I recommend this store to EVERYONE!

LaTorsha

Discovering quality, discount clothes for our daughter, Landon, helped me to embrace the paralyzing expenses that come with being a first-time parent. She is now two years old and stays well dressed thanks to the beautiful sales and donations given to this store chain. I sell, I shop. I call it "flipping" clothes and I always leave happy. I am even privileged to have personal shoppers in my favorite store here in Richmond, VA! We are like family and it is a memory I will carry from her childhood forever!

Monique

I live in Once Upon A Child. I have 3 boys and I'm expecting my first girl in June so with 4 kids money is tight. I love being able to buy all that I need for them without feeling like I've been taken. I recommend this store to my friends that have kids because with the way kids out grow things, there's no reason to go broke trying to keep them clothed.

meghan

As a mother of one child I was horrified at the thought of buying used clothes, until I had twins and then another making a total of four! Then I found out about Once Upon A Child and I could not believe the cheap prices and the quality and condition of all the stuff.

We get nothing but compliments on how well groomed our children always look and how they always have the best name brand clothes. In any other situation I would have never told that they were used but on this occasion I brag, so now family and friends are also hooked! It is also so convenient that something I will not be able to use again someone else will have a chance to enjoy and at a good price, it's like returning the favor! How clever of someone to think about the situation being a parent puts us in and how much easier they could make our life with just a store! I thank them very much!

I have a 4 week old daughter, without this store, she would have no clothes! Me and her father go about once a week because there are new things every time we go in! I love this store, it's a lifesaver. Not to mention the prices there are unbeatable. There are brand new clothes all over, and clothes that don't even look like they have been worn. It's just down right perfect, especially since there is quite a few people who are low on money right now.

I just wanted to commend the Ajax, Ontario store for their AWESOME newsletters. I look forward to them. They are appealing to the eye, but the best part is all the great info both about the store and the happenings in our community. I have made great discoveries all thanks to the Ajax newsletter. I would like to thank them for their commitment to their parents, and for keeping us in the loop!

This is the best store for anything you need for your little one. It's amazing how much you save when you shop there. I drop in at least 3 times a month because you never know what they'll have. I have bought vintage toys from them that you can't find in the regular stores (telephones, alphabet blocks, and sorters) thanks to Once Upon A Child, my child is the best dressed little girl at daycare and church.

OMG I LOVE THIS STORE!!!!! I went for my first time to Once Upon A Child and I wish I would have discovered this store 3 years ago when my daughter was born. They have excellent clothing at wonderful prices. I was so amazed!

We got a Once Upon A Child here about 3 or so months ago and its a store you can get addicted to. I have bought so much stuff for my soon to be newborn and its wonderful and the workers there are so nice and helpful. I couldn't ask for any better store.

We shop at Once Upon A Child often, my husband and I have a 12yr old and a 9yr old and now we have a 4 month old and this store is a life saver the cost of not so used outfits are wonderful and I love the toys some are even brand new. Thanks Once Upon A Child!

First of all I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed shopping at your store in Winston-Salem. My mom had been telling me to go in & see what there was to choose from & I would never get a chance to go to the store when I made trips from Wilkesboro to Winston-Salem. I visited your store on March 21st, 2009 & got over 12 outfits for my soon-to-be 2 yr. old boy & only paid $38. I loved all the outfits I purchased & he now has enough clothes for the spring & summer. I plan on packing up all his clothes & accessories to take them to the store very soon. I hope what I take may help someone like it helped me in these tough times. Thanks so much for having such a wonderful store with so much variety at so little a cost. I will be back very soon.

I never thought I would ever purchase any clothes for my son at a resale shop. But when I went in to the shop I found so many items I had just purchased at the mall and of course the mall prices were like 3x's the amount. They had some really awesome items. Very organized and no need for digging, everyone knows how awful that is! The best thing about it, is that you can even take your kids clothes and sell to them as well. I strongly reccommend this place to everyone.

My husband and I have a toddler and an infant, we struggle to make ends meet, yet when it comes to clothing there is only one place we would go to for our girls. Once Upon A Child has helped us to dress our children with the latest fashion trends and most adorable looks. I just went to buy my two year old some summer clothes and ended up walking out with two bathing suits a pair of sandals four shorts and four shirts to match and only paid $22.00 I couldn't believe it! We constantly get compliments on how well dressed our daughters are and are proud to tell others where we get their clothing and how affordable it is.

Stephanie

Went to your store once again and found the cutest summer hot pink Puma outfit for my little peanut, we are very into Puma in our household and I found a t-shirt, shorts and zip up hoodie for $10.00, that is the best deal yet! I also found a pair of Old Navy rain boots for 5.00 that still had the tags on, with the economy the way it is, how can anybody pass up this store!! Thank you again.

I love Once Upon A Child. I had no idea how much fun shopping for kids clothes could be until I started dating someone with 2 and 4 year old boys. I find pretty much everything they could ever want here. I definitely plan on selling all the 2T items very soon. They grow so fast!

Not only is this store fabulous but the customer service was beyond amazing. We bought 2 full years worth of baby boy clothing to these ladies before closing and they were not a tad bit overwhemled. They told me when they would have it done by and they did. I LOVE this store, and the people that work like that. Thanks Once Upon A Child.

Darcy

We travel to the Children's Clinic/hospital quite often in a city that is 2 hours away. We go to Once Upon a Child most every time we are there. I love the selection and bargains that are available! My best purchase so far for our almost 1 year old baby is this Johnny Jump up! It provided loads of entertainment for our baby and some time for us to get things done around the house. $15 was what I spent, but it was worth so much more! Thanks!

Lane

I was driving by in our area of Roswell and saw this sign Once Upon A Child, thought hey let's look and see what it is about. I was so amazed at the quality of clothing and items in this store, I have become a regular for my grandsons, niece and co-worker who is having her first child. They have everything, so organized, affordable and CLEAN! Thank you for being here I have been spreading the word.

Sherry

Kentucky

I am almost 30 weeks pregnant and I was worried about not being able to buy anything nice for my child. I went to the local Once Upon A Child and got a large bag of baby clothes for $37.00. Most of the outfits I got were $1.50 and I could not believe they are all name brand. It made my day to get so much for so little money! What a bargain!

Brenna

Minnesota

I love Once Upon A Child! It is such a great store for our family. Being a student and a mom, we don't always have a ton of cash left over at the end of the month to buy good quality clothing, but coming to this store allows us to get name brand things for a fraction of the price! We also live a green lifestyle and reusing clothing is something we appreciate. I absolutely love the Rochester store and always find what I'm looking for. I will continue shopping here until my kids are no longer in children's clothing. Thank you!

Jamie

Wisconsin

I have a 3 1/2 yr old son that requires new clothes what seems like every season, seeing as how in Wisconsin the weather is constantly changing. Before he was born I stopped into the local store to check it out and was pleasently surprised at the selection, condition, and the prices of clothes. I have continued shopping at my local store throughout the past almost 4 years of his life and plan to until he grows out of the sizes that are available.

My son is the only grandchild and gets spoiled rotten by my Mom and before this past fall/winter she and I went shopping for clothes. Each only spending $50 we were able to get pretty much his entire stock of clothes, including 11 paris of pants, 11 shirts, 1 3-piece outfit, and 1 2-piece Nike running suit. We were thrilled that we "made out" so well, now we are just waiting for the summer clothes to come out so we can go back and do it again. Thank you Once Upon A Child for helping us, the ones that can't afford $20 shirts and $40 jeans for our constantly growing children. Much appreciated.

When I first found out I was pregnant my mom and I had gone in one of your stores to look, we were just getting rough ideas of prices of things. When I ended up having my little girl my mom went back and bought a ton of sleepers and then we went back and bought acouple other things we needed. Now I go at least three times a week to see what they have!!!!! I just love going in this store. And I try once a week to do a Once Upon A Child store hoping. I have always had pleasant service! Everyone seems nice that goes in and that works there!! My shopping days still continue even more frequent with having a store so close to home!! Keep up the good work!!!

I've have never been or heard about Once Upon A Child until my very good friend told me about them and I decided to check it out. Let me tell you I am hooked on them! I love the store, the people, cleanliness, and most of all the prices! I took my 15 month old baby boy stuff to them and they gave me top dollar for all of it. We even stayed to shop and I got him and my 8 year old daughter 14 outfits for under $50 bucks and several pieces still had tags on them and most of them were name brand stuff like baby gap, limited too for little girls, old navy baby, etc. I have to say that it was an awesome experience. One last thing Monica was GREAT!!! FYI I shop at the Orlando/colonial drive store.

Renee

Florida

I have been going to Once Upon A Child since 1999 and I must say this store is ALWAYS my first stop for my children's clothes "before" I head to the mall. My own kids know the routine – lol. My oldest is 11 years old and since she was 1 years old we have been going to Once Upon A Child so she knows we stop there "first" and the mall "second"!

The one thing I love about the store is their selectiveness on the clothing they receive. I know I can trust them to have the best of the best and when they say "gently used" it is what it is - GENTLY USED. Nothing is over used or ratty. Compared to other Children Consignment Shops - Once Upon A Child is considered high end in my book. I am a walking advertisement - I tell EVERYONE I encounter about this store. I am constantly getting compliments on my children's clothes and many think that I spend a lot of money on them since they are all name brands and still fresh in colors (new like)- But when I tell people I go to a consignment shop for children's clothes the first reaction I get is a frown and then I say, "No! This place is NOT like a regular consignment shop! It is like a store - come with me sometimes" I have brought many of people to this store. Even when I am on vacation and I need to purchase some emergency clothes for my kids I grab the phone book and look for my local Once Upon A Child. I love being able to trust and know that every time I walk into the store I will ALWAYS find what I am looking for - On an average I spend $60.00 every visit and I visit the store about twice a month. I keep my hole punch card on me at all times - right next to my credit cards! LOL Thanks again for having such a wonderful store and hopefully in the future I will be able to own and manager my own Once Upon A Child and be able to brighten some other mothers face! Thanks again!

The first time I shopped in this store Once Upon A Child was in the month of February 09'. I went to Salem,OR to visit my sister and one morning I decided to go around town to look @ new places, see new things and I found this store. I decided to go in and browse and at the moment I walked in I knew I was going to like this place, they have a lot of goodies for children. All items are in a good shape and the prices are unbelievable. I shopped that day for my 3 month old baby girl and came back for more before coming back to CA. The only thing I’m sorry for is that I’m pretty far from all locations in CA. I hope they’ll open up a Once Upon A Child store near by someday.

I have an 11 month old daughter. With money being such an issue for our family, I thought my daughter was destined to have to wear her older brothers clothes. I am so glad to have found this store. Not only can she now wear girly colors but adorable outfits that would have cost me a fortune in the store. Thank goodness there is a place out there that understands how expensive it is to raise kids and is there to help us out. Thank you very much!

Kelly

We used to live in St. Louis where I could go to tons of locations no matter where I was in the city. It was great, until the Army moved us to a remote location in lower AL. So now, I plan all my vacation trips around when I need clothes for the next season! I travel either 13 (to St. Louis,) or 16 (to Richmond,VA) hours to get supplies I need. And since we found out our second is a girl and we have literally no clothes for her, guess where I am going today? I drove 16 hours Monday to VA to visit my mom for a while and shop at our local Once Upon A Child. My husband tells me I need to open up a franchise by where we live because they do not know how to run a proper kids store. But with only being there for a few years, I would rather drive to visit family and to go to our favorite store. My son doesn't own a stitch of clothing that I have bought that isn't from this store. And I plan on doing the same with our new daughter.

Rebekah

I've always turned my nose up at the thought of going to this store or any other baby resale shops, just because I wanted my daughter to have the best of everything. One day my husband and I took a chance by going to the store to find a changing pad for cheap, and he couldn't get me out of the store. I can't believe I was so nieve about the things I bought my daughter. Plus when you have more than one addition to your family it starts to get a little expensive. This store is awesome, and if you look hard enough you can even find brand new things that have not even been worn yet. They have everything and it is now my new favorite store. My sister in law is expecting and now I'm going to introduce her to this wonderful store.

DIANA

I HAVE BEEN SHOPPING AT ONCE UPON A CHILD SINCE 1998. MY SON IS NOW 10 AND I BRING ALL OF HIS CLOTHES (MOST HAVE TAGS) TO SELL. THEY ARE ALWAYS FAIR IN PRICE AND ARE ALWAYS HELPFUL AND PLEASANT. THANKS FOR BEING THERE!! FYI I SHOP IN THE HAMDEN STORE.

My husband and I are gifted with a beautiful grandaughter Milyana. She was certainly a surprise but there is nothing in the world we would not do for her. We came across your store and I fell in love with it. We are there almost every weekend just to look but I always manage to purchase new items (to me anyways) for the baby. Thank you!

Michelle

I love our local Once Upon A Child store. I rarely buy new items anymore because the selection is so great. Our best buy, a Peg Perego Leather reclining high chair for $50.

Aggie

I love the Once upon a Child stores. I visit Danbury and Milford weekly and spend about $100 a week at each. My daughter is always the best dressed and never wears the same outfit twice. The items are from high lines and always clean and in style. The discount cards add up fast and I can always find a great deal!

Jessica

We've been looking for second hand clothing for our son that was not in rough shape. As for many garage sales i've been to they are always stained and not in good shape. Someone told me about Once Upon A Child Ichecked it out and wow we love that store anything you want you can find clothing, shoes toys ect... With my son still crawling I buy cute jeans for $5 dollars and I dont care if he gets holes in the knees! Thanks...

I have been in and out of he Once Upon A Child stores since I have moved here in the Charlotte area. All the stores have been great but there is one that stands out to me the most. Our family is having another baby and this time it is a BOY...It has been about 6 years since we had a baby in our house, so we needed to start buying everything again and this time its all boy stuff.

The girls at the store in MATTHEWS on 74 are the best, ALL OF THE THEM. They noticed I was looking for baby stuff and they asked me if I was having another child and from then on it has been like family. We have bought a beautiful Regazzi Crib (with mattress), a baby swing, loads of name brand new or like new clothes, a bassinet, a sling, etc all for under $250.

In addition, we always find something for a few dollars that is name brand for my 6 and 9 year old girls. They love going there also. I even got my mom addicted to going once a week to check out the deals. It really feels like we are visiting family and we try to stop in once a week to see what they have that is new. They always go above and beyond every time my family and I go in. Always asking how my wife is feeling and always being very nice to my kids. I recommend to everyone who has kids to check out Once Upon A Child ,especially the MATTHEWS store. Great big thanks to the girls on 74 for everything you do for me and my family. Mike, Jenn, Olivia and Samantha

My first time at your store I received wonderful deals on clothes buy 5 items get them for $1.00 a piece. I found a bouncer for $15.00 the staff was so helpful, I kept asking for help to take down about 6 bouncers from the top shelf and my request was met with no huff & puffs the deals were so great I spent alot of money that day, saw items I would come back and shop again. At the end of my visit I was surprised to find out that I would receive a discount in the store you receive this blue card after so many stamps its good for mothers to benefit from.

I was in need of a high chair for my 6 month old daughter and I went to the store near me and they had mine and my husband's dream high chair, it was originally about $160 and we got it in like new condition for $40! It was a steal! I love it and I will go back until she can't use anything in there anymore or if we have a 2nd child!

Rachel

Around Thanksgiving time 2008, we went to the Canton store. We made a day out of it because it is quite a drive from our house. When we got there we found great deals on the toys. I found a toy size baby grand piano for my daughter. It matches my baby grand piano that I have. She loves her piano! New in the retail stores, this piano would be about $300. We got it for $36!!! We did most of our Christmas shopping here, too.

I found my daughter a pair of Rocawear Jeans for $1 that were basically brand new. I also found her an Enyce Jean jacket that looked perfectly new that also only cost $1!! AWESOME!

We absolutely love our Once Upon A Child here in Memphis!!! The Manager is so nice and always helpful in finding everything you need! It helps to find great buys during our Nation's economic struggle. We are thankful we found out about Once Upon A Child!

Elizabeth

My husband and I love your store! We have been to about to every location our area. We always find new and exciting things every time we go. We got our daughter's swing that was in great shape and paid half of what we would have bought it brand new. Great part of it, it looked and worked like brand new! She can't live without that swing. Every since the day she was born we have been shopping at Once Upon A Child, from preemie to now 6 months old, 90% of her clothes come from there and we always bring back clothes. Thanks for being an awesome store and always providing impeccable service!

Jessica

I love your store. I shop their because I love a bargain. I have received several thank you notes from Bob and Ginger who own the Goodyear store. I can't believe in today's age that I receive a thank you for shopping at a business. I will continue to recommend your store to others:)

Elaine

I first started shopping at Once Upon A Child when my daughter was an infant. She is now 19 years old. I am now shopping a your stores for my grandkids. The best part has always been that you can find such great buys on clothes & accessories & then sell them back when your own gently used clothes are outgrown. I have now got my step children shopping for their own kids at your stores. This is so much better than going to yardsales. Everyone should visit your stores to see for themselves what a great service your stores are to their communities. We love them!!!

Jerymi & Angela

We were looking for a particular Winnie-the-Pooh swing. We were going to buy it brand new, but decided to try Once Upon A Child in Elk Grove. To our pleasure, this store had the exact swing at more than 50% less than we were willing to pay, and it looked brand new. The young woman that helped us was pregnant herself, and paid great attention to customer service. We will continue to shop here as our baby grows in and out of things. We had a wonderful experience, thank you!!

Kammy

The Roseville store always has everything we need. With 2 kids under 2 years old, I am always looking for good deals. The clothes always looks brand new, are in great condition and best of all are cheap! I do most of my shopping there.

At first, I felt that I would only buy from department stores for my son and only child. But after visiting Once Upon A Child, I've decided if I ever have another child, I'll register only for diapers and do all my shopping here. My husband and I love this store. Usually, I look on different children's store sites to see what's new and save up to $15 dollars on clothing at Once Upon A Child, and a lot more on toys! LOVE IT!

NATALIE

MY SON IS SPOILED AND I LOVE TO SHOP! I ALWAYS SAID HE'LL NEVER HAVE ENOUGH CLOTHING BUT I LIED HE NOW HAS TO MUCH. I GO TO 2 OF YOUR STORE ALL THE TIME AND I FINALLY GOT RID OF ALL THAT CLOTHING HE DOESN'T NEED THANKS TO YOUR STORE!! I LOVE IT!!

Heather

My daughters first birthday was just around the corner. I was looking for a shirt for her to wear for her first birthday. After a friend recommended Once Upon A Child, I called to see if they had anything close to what I was looking for. The clerk was very pleasant and took the time to look to see if they had anything. I was so happy when she returned to tell me that they had a shirt that said "1st Birthday Princess." She held the shirt until I was able to pick it up that afternoon. I was so happy when I picked up the shirt and it was PERFECT. Thank you to great customer service and to a very nice store!

Kristy

I frequent the Once Upon a Child store in Ann Arbor. I have never found anything in the store that is out of date or stained. And the prices for the most part are about at the $5.00 range! Which is awesome for my two children! When I go there it's so fun I feel like I'm on a treasure hunt! Last time I went they were having a sale where all of the tags with a red slash were $1! I was so excited and walked away with over $250.00 worth of clothes for $30! There are so many very very nice clothes for so cheap....whoever founded this chain of stores was a friggin genious! I only wish there was one in the Lansing area since I have to drive an hour to get to the Ann Arbor store.

Sheila

Being on a tight budget these days Once Upon A Child is a great way to make some money and also find some good deals. I can't wait to check out the spring fashions!

Lana

Tennessee

As a mother of three little ones, I really am concerned about keeping all of them clothed for the least amount of money. I discovered Once Upon A Child three years ago, and now use it for about 90% of my childrens clothes. For the past three years I have gotten everything from birthday gifts to Halloween costumes. I love the selection of sizes and styles. I love finding cute outfits and then telling everyone what a bargain I got it for. Now some of them go in and look for their kids. It's addictive in a good way!

Penny

Connecticut

I got lots of wonderful things for my baby shower and a lot of stuff off of my registry but there were still a few things I needed so my friend told me about your store and sure enough I hit the jackpot!! I found a tub, diaper champ, papasean, sling, and a changing pad. I now have two children and visit your Wethersfield and Manchester store often. Keep up the good work!

Amy

I have been very pleased with the quality of clothes that I have bought for my son from my local Once Upon A Child store in Cordova. The last time I was there, I found an outfit that was perfect for fall pictures. I got the pants, sweater, and matching hat all for $10. What was amazing was this was the same outfit I almost bought at the mall which would have cost me about $70 with tax. I can't say "thank you" enough! Not only do you provide excellent clothing, but the prices are outstanding deals. Highly recommended for all parents of small children.

Heaven

North Carolina

When I had my first child I knew I would be in for over priced clothes, but as soon as I heard about Once Upon A Child I had already been shopping there! They have gently used clothes that look brand new. My daughter has grown so fast and shopping at Once Upon A Child has helped me stay in budget with the wide selection of clothes they have!

Michelle

Kentucky

I have shopped at Once Upon A Child before, but it was looking for items for my classroom. Today I was able to shop as a mom. I found out three days ago that I am pregnant and simply could not wait to begin shopping for clothes and supplies. I have always enjoyed looking in the baby department, but it always felt strange knowing that I had no need or reason for being there. Today was so different because I did have a reason to be there. Thanks Once Upon A Child for the great deals.

Kelli

Kentucky

Since moving to Kentucky I have found it hard to find good things at the thrift store. When stuck in traffic one day, I saw your sign and remembered having shopped there when I lived in Washington, and thought why not check it out. For $54- I found 3 pairs of shoes, 7 track outfits, and 2 rompers. My boy is the best dressed baby in town! Thank you!

Alison

Indiana

I have to admit, I am addicted to Once Upon A Child!! I am a stay at home mother of 3 young, growing and active kids! Not only are the prices and selections great, but the staff in Mishawaka, IN is exceptional. I can't wait to go in next time to see what great new items they have!

Yanise

I love Once Upon A Child, the service there is amazing. Everything is so organized and easy to find!! I love going shopping in my local store!!

Crystal

Ohio

I love this place. There are many quality items for infants and young children. With 4 children, and expecting twin boys, we really needed to save on baby clothes. We got over 50 articles of clothing for a bargain price that blew me away! I wish I had gotten all my older kids clothes here when they were little. The outfits are adorable and the prices are fantastic. I will never waste money on infant clothes again. They outgrow them quickly and Once Upon A Child has all the brands you will find in high end department stores for less than half the price. They are picky about what they buy also, so you won't find horrible, worn clothes here!

I love Once Upon A Child. The best time to go is right at the end of a season you can get everything you need for next season. It has helped me and my husband a lot and I appreciate the people at my store being so nice and helping. It's always a happy environment!

I found birthday party dresses at Once Upon A Child for a day at Chuckie Cheese. Hey when you bye 3 dress for around $20 you just will never go wrong. Love Once Upon A Child!

I do not like paying full price for my baby's nice clothes when he only wears it for a month or two. With Once Upon A Child I get him great name brands for a clearance price! I am so glad I saw your commercial on TV, I went the same day to the Cordova store! Thank you!

I travel over 400 miles to visit my Mom and always make a stop at Once Upon A Child. They always have great customer service and I always leave with more then I anticipated because things are such great deals!! Love this store!!!!!!

Mika

My son is 4 years old and right now wears a size 6. Needless to say he is constantly outgrowing clothes and shoes. I really feel as if I'm getting a great deal on great clothes when I go to my local store. I bring my sis who has 3 kids and we make a trip out of it spending $100 at this store gets you everything you need for growing kids. You leave with clothes, shoes, accessories, toys, and books. I love what this store does for my wallet.

Rebecca

I love Once Upon A Child. I am on a very tight budget and was worried about getting everything I needed for my daughter. I heard about Once Upon A Child from my Uncle. I was amazed at what they had and the prices. I knew I couldn't afford new, but wanted quality items for my daughter. I was able to get the quality I wanted with prices I could afford. I can't imagine shopping anywhere else now. They have the best selection and best prices. Thank you Once Upon A Child!

Kristen

Illinois

I absolutely love the Orland Park store. There is such a huge selection of clothing. I have bought my 4 yr old daughter Avianna's clothing there since she was about 1 yr old.I also bought a great dresser for only $25! Now I am expecting another little girl in Feb, and I will definitely be shopping at Once Upon A Child. I also find tons of stuff for my friends who are single moms. The best part of the Orland Park store is that they buy back clothing from all seasons.

Harmony House

Harmony House is a visitation center for abused and neglected children in Larimer County Colorado. We supervise over 4000 custody exchanges and visits a year in our community. Once Upon A Child here in Fort Collins stepped up without hesitation when our rickity baby changing table fell apart and donated a sturdy nice one to us when we asked for help. They are a terrific COMMUNITY PARTNER and we just wanted you to know! Thanks Adam Springer and Tanya Azulay for being so kind!!

JO

I JUST LOVE ONCE UPON A CHILD!!!! THEY HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS TO CHOOSE FROM AT SUCH REASONABLE PRICES. I FIGURE WITH A TWO AND ONE YEAR OLD WHY BUY SO MANY NEW CLOTHES, SHOES AND TOYS WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO JUST BE CRAWLING, GETTING INTO THINGS AND MAKING A MESS. WHEN YOU CAN JUST GET NICELY LOW-PRICE USED ITEMS. I SAVED SO MUCH MONEY WHILE SHOPPING AT ONCE UPON A CHILD!!!! I AM THANKFUL FOR THE STORE WHERE I LIVE.

Tricia

Illinois

Second hand are you kidding me? That's what I used to think until I walked into Once Upon A Child. As a mother of twins, you need 2 of everything! I have saved SOOOO much money shopping in your Orland Park Store. I even bought my kids toddler beds there. Perfect price for the short time they will be in them! The quality is SO great, I very rarely buy anything new anymore, and nobody would ever know. My kids have mostly name brand clothes and they all come from you. Thank you SOOO much!

Michelle

It was about a week before my daughter's 7th birthday and I was frantically searching for some Littlest Pet Shop items, as they are her favorite. I just couldn't afford what they wanted at the store, so I wandered in the our Once Upon A Child to see what I may find. Jackpot! I got her two huge playsets with all the accessories and I could actually afford it! We set it all up the morning of her party and she came out to a dreamland of pets! Thank you so much Once Upon A Child for being there for her and I!

Tish

Indiana

Once Upon A Child has outfitted my 5 year old daughter and my 3 year old son! I absolutely adore the savings! I can't even push myself to buy anything new anymore! Name brands...great condition...half the price...who would shop anywhere else! The manager of the Evansville store in Indiana rocks! The store is exceptionally organized, color coded and clean. I would recommend this store to anyone!

Angela

I have nothing but GREAT things to say. I am a single mom of an 18 month old and have gotten 80% of my son's clothing from Once Upon A Child. I was so thankful to have this store in our city. I have always been able to find what I am looking for and saved $100's by shopping here. The last time I was there I was looking for a long sleeve orange shirt for the Pumpkin Patch and found the one in the picture.

I started going to Once Upon A Child a couple of years back and loved everything about it. I have five children that are very picky and they love to go to Once Upon A Child with me, they can't wait to go and buy or trade for something new, its like a kid in a candy store. Having such a big family it is the best store.

I have four children and I love shopping at Once Upon A Child for them. Just last Saturday I was at one location in Kentucky and I bought 3 pair of Baby Phat jeans for my 3 year old at truly reasonable prices, all in good condition. I just can’t get enough of Once Upon A Child. I want to say thanks to all the employees that make it happen everyday. I’m a satisfied customer for life…. and the stores are always clean and clothes/furniture are always in order and easy to browse through.

I have been shopping at Once Upon A Child for several years. Since my kids range in age from 2 to 12 we are able to save quite a bit of money during the growth spurt years. The tweens love buying clothes from justice, limited too, and the gap. The toddler enjoys picking out his own clothes with Elmo or Thomas the Tank. The kids are able to have a little freedom and create their own outfits in the store and I do not need to be nervous when we checkout. Considering how fast the trendy looks change, Once Upon A Child is a MUST for us. We also buy Easter dresses, Halloween Costumes, and Christmas Outfits when the seasons change. There is always plenty of selection at the St. Charles store.

Once Upon A Child is truly the best store I've found for new parents. It's affordable, and without Once Upon A Child my husband and I probably wouldn't be able to afford all the clothing and accessories we need for our baby. When times are hard, and gas is $4.25 a gallon, taking care of children gets harder, and I can't thank the people at Once Upon A Child or the donations enough. I truly am blessed to have one in my town. Thank you so much, everyone!

I love this store! I have many nieces and nephews that I love to shop for...but baby clothes can be sooo expensive. I see the exact same things at this store that I see at Walmart® and high end baby stores! But the prices are so much better here! And not just clothes...I found a baby bouncer in almost MINT condition for $15! Thanks!! :)

I was so excited to have been able to spend so little money on outfits for the kids fall pictures this year, it helped me to be able to afford making several extra copies of the photos, thank you Once Upon A Child!

I'm a single parent of a beautiful 8 year old, and my daughter seems to be growing like a blink of an eye. I couldn't afford to do a lot of shopping but since I have visited Once Upon A Child last year and I have been going ever since. My daughter and I are so excited when we shop their because there is so much nice clothing to choose from. Thanks a very, very happy and money saving Mom.
