New Once Upon A Child® Opens in Sagamore Hills
New Resale Store Provides Venue for Local Families to Buy & Sell Gently-Used Children's Items

Sagamore Hills, Ohio (July 11, 2017) – Local parents now have a place that not only puts cash back into their pockets, but sells gently-used children’s clothes, shoes, toys, equipment and more for less! A favorite with families, the new Once Upon A Child® in Sagamore Hills on Thursday, July 20. Doors open at 10 a.m.
Located at 500 W. Aurora Road in Sagamore Hills, the new Once Upon A Child is part of a unique national recycling retail chain that specializes in merchandise for infants to pre-teens. The store buys and sells quality, gently-used children’s apparel, shoes, books, baby equipment and furniture, and more.
“Our store fills a distinct niche in the retail market,” said Kim Gurtatowski, who owns the new Once Upon A Child. “I understand how expensive it is to raise children today and want to offer an affordable option for local families. 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 may have otherwise simply given away.”

Unlike a typical consignment store, Once Upon A Child does not require appointments and pays on the spot for items it purchases from consumers. 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.
