Once Upon A Child Duluth is a store offering gently used brand name clothes, shoes, toys, books, equipment, and furniture for babies, toddlers, and youth. Many customers find it a blessing for its low prices and affordable, stylish outfits, allowing them to purchase great clothing items and good working strollers without high-end prices. The store is described as clean and well-organized, providing a solution for fast-growing children. Customers appreciate the opportunity to both buy and sell items, getting cash for things they might otherwise give away. However, some long-standing customers note a change in morale. They feel the quality of items on offer has become subpar, and that good items are sometimes rejected or bought for only a few dollars when selling. The cashiers are sometimes perceived as tired or irritated. One reviewer expressed a desire for better care of employees and more kindness and respect collectively, hoping to preserve the relationship with the business. Another customer defended the store, stating that its inexpensive products are affordable and that paying sellers is a fair practice. Despite some criticisms, visitors and local shoppers find it a valuable store for gently used items at fair prices.
