About Us
Sustainable. Affordable. Convenient.
Once Upon A Child makes it easy for eco-friendly families to buy affordably and sell gently used kids' clothing, shoes, toys and baby gear for cash on the spot. Each Once Upon A Child location is individually owned and operated by local business owners, so you can feel good about shopping small.
Current Promotions 1. Bring In Your Items To Sell
Embrace sustainability and clear out your kids' closets. Bring in the gently used clothing, shoes, toys, baby gear, and more that they've recently outgrown.
2. We'll Check Them Out
While you shop our latest arrivals, our expert buyers will carefully evaluate your items. Don't worry, your pieces are in capable hands as we assess their worth and how they fit into our family-focused cycle of sustainability.
3. Get Paid Cash OR Trade Your Items for Fresh Finds
Once we've decided on the items to purchase, we'll present you with an offer. If you're thrilled with the deal, you'll walk away with CASH in hand OR you can choose to trade your items for something new-to-you from our current selection.

Hello! We are Jessica Peck and Emily Mellon, sisters and now business partners too! While our families spent some time living around the country, we both fell in love with the Once Upon A Child concept in other cities. When we returned to our hometown of Chico, we missed Once Upon A Child so much that we just knew we had to take a leap and open our own Once Upon A Child store. Hello!
