History
Established in 1984.
It’s Easy to Be Green!
The first Once Upon A Child store was opened in Ohio in 1984. The inspiration behind the business was the entrepreneurs’ three growing boys — and the growing number of still-useful items overflowing their closets, dresser drawers, and boxes in the basement and garage that they wanted to recycle.
The initial concept was simple: create a fun, efficient, and convenient way for parents like themselves to recycle items that were in great condition but that their kids had outgrown. Their friends and neighbors soon discovered this to be a great way to outfit their kids in stylish duds, age appropriate toys and equipment at affordable prices.
This simple-yet-powerful resale retail concept makes great sense to people everywhere, which is why there are now over 240 Once Upon A Child franchise locations throughout North America.

As a father of 3.5 year old twin girls, I am always looking for a good way to save money and get a good deal. As a consumer, I am always in search of exceptional customer experiences. When I came across the concept of Once Upon A Child, I found an outlet that would allow me to do both at once. We only buy what you would buy and we offer it at 60% to 80% off of retail pricing. We hope you come visit us and share your experiences at Once Upon A Child with everyone you know!
