About Us
Locally Owned, Female Owned Family Business
We are a locally owned family company and we own 10 Once Upon a Child stores in the greater Cincinnati and Dayton area! Becky opened her first Once Upon a Child store in 1992 in Fields Ertel and since then her 3 children have joined the family business. Kate is our Vice President, Sarah is our Marketing Director, and Chris is our Project Manager and IT Specialist. We are parents with 7 kids between us, and we know how expensive it is to keep up with growing kids. We shop and sell at our stores, and we hope you do too!
Our Core Values
Customer Service
Our goal is to provide excellent customer service to all of our customers. We would not be here without you, and we appreciate you choosing to sell and shop with us.
Affordable, Value Pricing
We know how expensive it is to keep up with growing kids! Our store is full of quality, gently used items from top favorite brands, up to 70% less than mall prices.
Convenience
We make it easy to sell what your kids have outgrown - we buy all seasons, all day, every day, no appointment needed. We accept all containers (bins, bags, baskets - whatever!) and we do not have a container limit. Sell to us and make some extra cash today!
Sustainability
When you bring in your gently used items, it prevents them from filling up landfills and gives them a second round of life, Our local stores recycle over 10 million items each year!
Giving Back
Giving back to our communities is important to our company. We partner with Matthew 25 Ministries, Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank, Hannahs Treasure Chest, The March of Dimes, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and numerous local little leagues and organizations.
Once Upon A Child provides a sustainable and convenient way to buy and sell gently used kids' clothes, shoes, toys and baby gear, focusing on quality, safety and value. Each Once Upon A Child location is individually owned and operated by local business owners, so you can feel good about shopping small.
