Once Upon A Child

I always get the best refund when I sell my used clothing to OUAC. Huge selection of all season clothing, plus baby gear, etc. the employees are also very friendly.

My go-​to place for all things kid and baby near Saint Paul.
The store is clean, and relatively clutter-​free. There is a huge section of plastic kids toys with things strewn on the floor, but this is also a great place to have your kids test drive their newest $ 4 – 6 treasure. The clothing is well organized by age and sex and things are exactly where they’re supposed to be. They have shoes well organized as well, and carry tons of accessories like exersaucers, riding toys, soft shell baby carriers and more.
I have always had really good luck with their clothing and never had a problem with zippers, holes, frayed fabric etc. You can tell they really give their items a good inspection before putting it on the shelves. Prices are reasonable to a tad expensive for certain big brand names, or fancier kids clothes. For example, a crappy pair of footed PJs from Target may cost you $ 3, but a newer Carters PJ may cost $ 6.
Staff are friendly and helpful. Like all O Upon a C stores, each day of the week offers special discounts depending on the day, and you can usually find good coupons in the paper for 15−20% off. At the very least, they have a stamp card that you fill up for 20% off (I think), which is fine but honestly the coupons and daily specials are often better and easier to achieve.

This is so far the cleanest Once Upon a Child store that I have gone to! I frequent many of them and I was not frazzled in this one. It was packed with everything you could imagine, but it wasn’t so stuffed that you couldn’t maneuver the isles easily.
The staff was very friendly also. I wish this was the closest one to my home!
