“This was a quick drop for a friend but last week, at the Geneva location, I purchased a multi colored, white background jean jacket that's perfect for summer. Y'all don't sleep on Salvation Army (SA). I highly encourage all to donate to SA first, rather than the other place. Thank you.”

“I adore this shop. It is HUGE inside with so many treasures. You could be in here for hours, there’s so much to shop. And I love their summer markets, they’re so fun to shop. Love that this place is in my hometown. It’s the best.”

“There’s lots to see in this lovely shop! I took a few trips around the whole store and each time I saw something new that excited me. The booths are full of unique items and most are very reasonable prices. There’s a new booth off to the right of the door by the window called “Mona Maison” and it is all very unique treasures from all over the world! A crystal and fine china lover’s dream! Definitely the place to stop for antique finds at great prices. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Great experience using Sell4Value to sell my late father's Beanie Babies! The whole process was seamless, and the communication from Debbie was top notch. I would highly recommend using Sell4Value.”

“So happy with my service counter! I had been everywhere looking for a service counter for my retail store and was feeling hopeless until I met Ozz Virani at ABI Warehouse Furniture. We sat down and he designed a service counter that would match my needs. Ozz and his team built and delivered a quality product at a great price. 5 stars!”

“I've been to this store many times and I really like it. It's a hidden little gem. The parking can be a little tricky but it is jam packed with antiques and actual antiques not home goods items like most "antique" stores I have been to lately. The owner is very nice actually and she talks to you. I enjoy talking to her so I don't understand the other reviews. She lets you browse and shop around just fine. I always buy something. This is hands down my favorite antique store. Just wish she was open on Sundays. That's my favorite day to go to antique stores!!”

“I love upcycling and recycling so this is in total alignment with saving the earth in a small way. They have a huge selection of clothes and bags and jewelry and shoes and boots and jackets and wallets. Free and open parking. So much to choose from. Fitting rooms also. And they also buy your Clothes if you want to sell. Stuff only for women and under 3 years old.”

“I used to not have as much luck selling here and definitely don’t have as much luck with the younger girls that work here who are perfectly nice. They just don’t buy very much from me but that just may be me. aside from that, I have nothing but positive things to say about the store. I think the owner is so pleasant to deal with. Not to mention she’s always looking stylish! I sell regularly at this store and I buy regularly and 95% of the time I leave with cash of some degree when I sell here and I almost never leave the store without buying something if I’m there to buy. If you wash your clothes and you bring in stylish clothes that are clean, you will make some money. Appreciate this location! ?”

“Once Upon a Child is an amazing store for parents looking to buy or sell gently used children’s items. The selection here is fantastic—they offer a wide variety of kids’ clothing, toys, shoes, and baby gear, all in excellent condition and at a fraction of the cost of buying new. It’s a perfect spot to find quality items without breaking the bank, and the inventory is constantly rotating, so there’s always something new to discover.

The store is well-organized, making it easy to browse by size, season, or item type. I was impressed by how clean everything was, and the staff clearly takes the time to ensure that only the best products make it to the shelves.

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they make the buying and selling process incredibly smooth. If you’re selling, they inspect items thoroughly but fairly and offer reasonable prices based on condition and demand. It’s a great way to declutter while getting some value back for things your kids have outgrown.

One thing I love about Once Upon a Child is that it’s both eco-friendly and budget-friendly. You’re not only saving money but also contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle by reusing high-quality items.

Whether you’re looking for great deals on kids’ essentials or trying to offload gently used clothes and toys, Once Upon a Child is a fantastic option. Highly recommend for parents and caregivers!”

“Their selection is better than most Platos in the area. I had no issues with the staff, they were fine. I made some jokes to the cashier about being busy and she was very friendly. As with all platos, some items are not in great shape, so just look over what you've got before you buy.”
