CHILDREN’S ORCHARD: A Children’s Orchard Business

Being able to buy and sell gently-used, like-new clothing, shoes, toys, and accessories is great for shoppers. Children outgrow everything pretty fast. But, as a business, Children’s Orchard is a whole other matter. It is, in fact, a very smart business.

Maybe you’ve been thinking about how great it would be to own your own business? Or maybe you’ve been thinking about what a great opportunity it is to own one that has such a huge need in your community? Children’s clothing, shoes, equipment, and toys are always needed, and the fact that they’re at much lower prices and gently-used – or hardly used in most cases because they’re outgrown so quickly – makes it even better!

Look no further than Children’s Orchard. Take a look at our franchise information and see what you can do to move forward in owning your own highly-supported, successful business. You’ll be happy you did!

CHILDREN’S ORCHARD: Many Parents Now Including Resale Shops as Part of Back-to-School Shopping Hot Spots

Many parents know that their kids outgrow clothing and equipment so fast, it just makes sense to go to Children’s Orchard and purchase apparel, shoes, and equipment that are gently-used and like-new. The truth is, the store is full of pieces in great shape that have hardly been worn. Just like with your kids, the inventory comes from parents with kids that have outgrown their clothes before they even come close to wearing them out! Source: wxyz.com Children's Orchard screenshot from tv spot about back-to-school savings at Children's Orchard Getting your kids ready for school can cost you hundreds and in many cases, thousands. The reality is that saving money is the goal. We recently found thousands of families that are apart of a resale revolution and it’s growing in popularity. Families we found are saving on everything–from sports equipment for their kids, to shoes and gently used clothing. The National Retail Federation estimates that families will spend more than $24 billion dollars on back to school shopping this year. And while that number seems exorbitant, research tells an interesting story. Jennifer Pater is a mother of two and a teacher. Her kids, Avery and Aiden, are growing. Being under 10 years old, they grow more every day than most kids and that often calls for complete wardrobe changes and from season to season, changes to their sports equipment and gear. “We definitely have a budget so we try to stick within that budget,” Jennifer Pater said. On the day we caught up with her, she was busy reselling clothes her kids had already grown out of, clothes she says she bought from the resale store Children’s Orchard in Sterling Heights. Leslie DeArmant has worked at Children’s Orchard, a resale boutique store, for more than 16 years. “Everyone wants to save a buck and you can definitely do that here,” she said In fact Pater tells me she can walk out with a bag full of gently used name brand clothes for either one of her kids for about $30. She tells me to keep in mind that often that same $30 will only get you a nicely printed new t-shirt elsewhere. “We’ve been coming here for about 4 to 5 years. We come a couple of times a month to grab things that look great and are very inexpensive,” Pater tells Action News. Her son Aiden is 7 years old and with all the sports and extra-curricular activities he’s involved in  she finds herself at the store often buying sports gear because he grows out of it so quick. She sells back what he can’t wear anymore. Inside the Children’s Orchard store you could say the old adage fits in well, that saying, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” That’s true especially in their eyes. “We have a lot of people that sell to us to make money to buy the next year’s school wardrobe,” DeArmant said. DeArmant has seen the resale revolution grow. She’s seen the influx in parents wanting to stretch that dollar increase. She’s seen the growth in the number of parents focused on reducing waste by way of recycling and making money. According to America’s Research Firm, a consumer research group, 15% of Americans will save money by shopping in a resale store this year. That percentage is only expected to get bigger as more and more of you learn about the savings. The day our crews were in the store we found more than a dozen families coming and going. Some just stopping in to sell, others looking to buy, some believe it or not were doing both. In our findings, we learned many resale stores offer savings for those who choose to buy and sell right there on the spot. “Most of our customers do shop in here and they can earn 25% more if they take store credit,” DeArmant said. And what’s not to love about saving even more money doing business in the same place, right? “They’re amazing that they can come out of here with a bag full of clothing for $25, $30. The savings are amazing,” DeArmant tells Action News. First Research found that resale stores across the country will boast an estimated annual revenue of upwards of $12 billion this year. Their report also found that with more and more families aiming to stretch their dollar, especially with those who have kids growing, the number is expected to grow. They say it’s not surprising. Pater who is a teacher agrees and says she believes if more parents knew of what you could find at various resale stores, the resale revolution and back to school shopping would be redefined. “I’m a teacher nearby,” Pater says. “So I know a lot of the other teachers that I work with and Moms definitely come and sell a lot of their items and shop here a few times a month. We’ve always had a great experience with it.”

CHILDREN’S ORCHARD: Children’s Orchard Offers Gently-Used Kid’s Clothes, Items in Manhattan Beach

She went to a “hidden gem” called Children’s Orchard in Manhattan Beach. Cindy Kehagiaras is the co-owner of the shop, and she’s more than happy to buy clothes that are still in great condition. “Our sellers love coming right before school because they go through all of their kids’ drawers before school starts. They get the things that aren’t going to fit anymore. They bring them to us and then they get new things,” she said. Children’s Orchard is a national franchise with eight resale stores in Southern California. It specializes in buying and selling gently used children’s apparel, books, toys and equipment. In the last 15 years, Girard-Cobb has made more than $10,000 selling her children’s gently used clothing, but she is just as pleased to trade her items or receive store credit. “That’s what I really like because I really think you get a lot more for your money coming to a resale store like Children’s Orchard. You really get a lot more getting that additional credit in the store,” she said. Anyone wishing to turn their children’s clothes into cash should be aware that all apparel must be free of wear, tear and stains. The clothes must be washed before selling them and the items should be part of the current fashion trends. Children’s Orchard is located at 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd. and stores hours are available on the website at www.childrensorchard.com.

CHILDREN’S ORCHARD: A Great Business Idea

Resale franchise offers low cost fashions

Even if you don’t have kids, you know how fast they outgrow their clothes. Parents struggle between keeping their kids in fun clothing without spending a fortune on it – while they outgrow it in leaps and bounds.

Something they loved that fit them a month ago might not fit them at all now. Which brings us to a great concept in franchising: Children’s Orchard. As ideas in great franchises go, this one is cutting edge. Because parents want their kids to be able to dress in a practical but fun way – and to be warm with the right accessories. But, if they bought something new every time their child outgrew it, they would never be able to put food on the table.

Children’s Orchard: a top franchise opportunity

One of the best concepts to come out of the franchise market is Children’s Orchard. In the huge, growing resale market, nothing addresses it better than Children’s Orchard.

While other markets are just as important within our structure – people want different styles and choices – the kids market addresses an entirely different need: It isn’t just a choice to change sizes, it’s a MUST!

As kids outgrow their clothes faster than they can even make a dent in wearing them out, this store is a growing necessity that will draw customers in.
