When and how did your business get started?


Business originally opened in March 2012, however I just purchased from the previous owner this month (Nov. 2013).

What is your business best known for?

We are a Children's Consignment Store and Boutique specializing in gently used children's clothing from sizes newborn up to size 12. We carry clothing, shoes, toys, maternity, baby gear and equipment and more!

Why did you choose the town you did to open your business? 

It was an ideal location due to affordability as well as the need for a business in this area.

What's something interesting about your business your customers might not know?

We just started taking larger sizes this month (up to size 12) so that's new. Some don't know how consignment really works though. People can bring in their items and consign them with us for 90 days. When their consignment period is up, they get a check for 40 percent of the selling price of the sold items.
