Once Upon A Child Opens Sustainable Kids' Resale Store in Springfield

Once Upon A Child opens Springfield location offering cash for gently used kids' items & affordable sustainable shopping. Owned by local parents under Winmark franchise.

This expansion matters because it addresses both economic and environmental concerns facing modern families. Children outgrow clothing and toys rapidly, creating financial strain and contributing to textile waste—the EPA estimates textiles account for nearly 5% of landfill space. By providing immediate cash for gently used items and offering affordable alternatives to new products, this model helps families save money while reducing environmental impact. The focus on safety standards ensures parents can shop secondhand with confidence. As resale shopping grows 11 times faster than traditional retail, this store represents a shift toward more sustainable consumption patterns that benefit both household budgets and the planet.
