The brand is known for its affordable, gently used children’s clothes, shoes, toys, equipment and more, and provides local parents with a place that not only puts cash back into their pockets, but sells gently used brand-name clothing and accessories for less. With a focus on being a sustainable shopping resource for local families, the new Once Upon A Child® in Austin is Now Open. Once Upon A Child is part of Winmark - the Resale Company™, a unique national retail resale franchise that focuses on sustainability, small business formation and providing Resale for Everyone™.

At Once Upon A Child, families are able to buy necessities for their children at great values, and turn their gently used items into cash. In addition, Once Upon A Child ensures that all products purchased and sold meet mandatory and voluntary safety standards. Staff members stay up-to-date on current recalled items, immediately pulling all recalled products from shelves and making sure all items purchased are safety-checked to meet current standards. “Once Upon A Child fills a distinct niche in the retail market,” said Jim English. “We are a part of a unique retail resale business that specializes in sustainable clothing and toy options for families of young children. By purchasing merchandise directly from consumers, we’re able to offer them lower prices and a great opportunity to receive cash on the spot for items they would have otherwise simply thrown out or given away.” For questions on the buying process or store hours, the new Once Upon A Child can be reached at (512) 715-4868 or https://www.onceuponachild.com/locations/austin-tx-southwest/.
