Once Upon A Child Opens Children's Resale Store In Douglasville

DOUGLASVILLE, GA — A new children's clothing and accessories retail resale store is now open in Douglasville.

Once Upon A Child, a franchised store by Winmark Corporation, opened earlier this month at 2864 Chapel Hill Road. It's the 12th store in Georgia, but also the 400th location in the country — a milestone for the company, according to a news release. Winmark Corporation is also the parent company of Plato's Closet, Play It Again Sports, Style Encore and Music Go Round.

Once Upon A Child buys and sells gently used kids' merchandise, from children's apparel, baby equipment and footwear to books, toys and more. For more information, visit onceuponachild.com.

The Douglasville store was launched by Allison Spartis, who owns another Once Upon A Child location as well as two Plato's Closet stores.

“It’s an incredible feeling to have opened our 400th Once Upon A Child location and to witness the impact our brands have on their communities,” said Renae Gaudette, president of franchising at Winmark Corporation, in the release. “I can’t think of a more fitting franchisee partner than Allison to be able to share this experience with ... As we continue to grow, our impact will only strengthen as we aim to further our position as the industry leader in resale and sustainability. Our team is regularly evaluating potential markets for future expansion of all Winmark brands — and, while we’re already a household name for many, we’re looking forward to reaching even more families across North America in the years to come.”
