pleasantly surprised. The purpose of the store is not to supply parents with cash But to supply children with quality merchandise at a reasonable too low cost!!! The store basically started on the concept of sharing what you can with those who have not or little.! Keeping those thoughts in mind I recently came across some clothes that I had put away for my granddaughter when she was 2, she is now 5, most of the clothing wear summer ,out of season ,but there were a few outfit that were winter already... yes they were name bra... read more

WHAT A LET DOWN I'm actually a huge fan of Once Upon A Child! I have found absolutely wonderful products at the DANBURY store. Bristol is a bit closer to home, so I decided to check out the OUAC there. I was DISGUSTED by the appearance of the store. The floors were filthy. It smelled of must and my mom actually ended up having an allergy attack! The clothing selection was sub-par. Many of the items were stained, faded and very worn. The baby items such as exersaucers, swings, and furniture were dirty. I don't just mean faded... read more

People need to be respectful I have recently been into the Once Upon a Child that is in Bristol and those girls are nothing but polite and hard working. Yes they are very young but the ones that I have seen are eager to learn and willing to help people for the most part with the occasional bad seed but mostly polite. If you've actually been in the backroom of the store you would know why they are selective on merchandise. They are less picky to things that they need, whether you have new items or not. Those girls deal with v... read more

I live the store! I love buying things from Once Upon A Child. However, I too was very disappointed when I tried to sellthem my items. Some were purchased there and hardly used. However, it was explained that their stock was very high. I did not get much money, but it is a business and in order to sell things cheaply, merchandise must not be costly. I personally love the store!

Rude, unhelpful staff Once Upon a Child is a good place to purchase clothing, but a terrible place to sell anything. They pay pretty much nothing for brand new or very gently worn clothes, yet their racks are filled with items that are outdated or faded. You really have to dig to find good items. I was looking for an exersaucer and found many that were at least 7 years old, broken, dirty and expensive! The staff is beyond rude. They have zero customer service ability and are all teenagers who have no idea about the items the... read more
