Kid to Kid - Children's Retail Franchise

A Growing Market.
Every year, the average child in America outgrows nearly $1,000 worth of clothes, toys, and equipment. Although many of these items are still in good condition, parents must replace them with expensive new ones. With more than 40 million children under the age of 13 in the nation today, the need for quality children's products at affordable prices is steadily growing.

The Upscale Approach.
Today's consumers want a bargain. But many parents would feel uncomfortable shopping for their children in a second-hand store, even if prices were low. Kid to Kid is successful because it creates an environment and offers a selection that appeals to customers who otherwise would not shop in a thrift store.
