How can parents not love a kids’ clothing store that for 29 years has been paying families to recycle their kids’ stuff? Kid to Kid offers a range of clothes, toys and equipment for moms and their children. Sorry, Dads, you’re on your own. Readers love that they buy gently used items from customers, offering the option of taking cash on the spot or the opportunity to take their payment in store credit for an additional 20% above the cash offer.
Each Kid to Kid store carries a selection of new products, specifically chosen by local owners for their customers. According to Blakeley Newbill, district manager for the Short Pump and Midlothian locations, the stores offer clothes and outerwear for every season along with a range of bows and headbands, baby prepping and safety items, winter gear, toys, shoes and baby shower gifts. “We’ve built a strong customer base by consistently offering the best selection in recycled kids’ apparel,” Newbill says. “Plus we try and make each visit to our store a positive experience for the whole family.”
Parents are all about having the ability to purchase quality items that they and their children need for a fraction of the original retail cost. “There’s nothing quite like the sparkle in a child’s eye when parents find the perfect outfit or toy for their little ones,” she adds.
