“We encourage the community to go through their overflowing closets, bring in their gently-used children’s items that may no longer be needed, and walk out with cash in their pockets,” said Laila Ruzika, who owns the new Once Upon A Child in Edison. “We understand how expensive it is to raise children in this day and age and we wanted to offer an affordable option for local families. By purchasing merchandise directly from consumers, we’re able to offer them a great opportunity to receive cash on the spot for items they may have otherwise given away.”
Unlike a typical consignment store, Once Upon A Child does not require appointments and pays cash on the spot for items it purchases from consumers. At Once Upon A Child families are able to buy necessities for their children at great values, and turn their gently-used items into cash.
