History

Established in 1995.

Our stores are proudly owned and operated by Kate and Ben Rosa.

Kate managed her parents store for several years and realized what an amazing savings it was for their children. We wanted to pass this on to all our friends and our community so we decided to open 2 stores in the same year.

Largo location has been open over 20 years. We purchased both Largo and South Tampa stores in 2007.

Our customers want quality children’s clothing and we’re excited that we can offer discounts up to 70% off of original retail prices. We strive to offer a fun and convenient way to sell your gently used items. Whether you’re buying or selling, we would love to help you find what you’re looking for. We offer payment on-​the-​spot for items we select that meet current style, safety and condition standards. We maintain high merchandise standards by thoroughly inspecting all toys and equipment for any safety recalls.
