Great spot for children's books, clothes and toys. Well stocked organized and run. The merchandise…read moreis used but curated. You can also sell your used items. Best to call first. Their mailing list hits you with special deals and occasional updates. There are also locations in South Tampa and North Tampa. Kids grow fast. Theu are fickle. I think recycling and keeping the funs local with a business and sellers is fab. Once Upon a Time there were great savings.. Lots of shoes. Some swimwear and jackets. Strollers. Lots of babywesar and toddler on up kidso wear. Much of it fashionable. Dress for success.

I walked into this location and was immediately disappointed by the lack of friendliness and…read morecustomer service. I'm just recently back in Florida after living in North Carolina, so I went to the front desk to ask about the sales, since I know promotions can vary by location. The employee tried to explain the sales to me, but the explanation was confusing and unclear. I'm not sure if it was her first day, but she told me that blue tags were not on sale and that every other color tag was on sale, except for jackets. When I went to check out, my total was almost $50. I had around 20 items, and the cashier told me only four of them were on sale, even though the items I selected had orange tags. When I asked why, he couldn't give me a clear explanation. The entire experience was frustrating, and the lack of communication and customer service made it even worse. I won't be returning to this location, and I wouldn't recommend it based on my experience. The condition of some of the shoes was also unacceptable. Some had damaged soles and looked like they were literally falling apart and had feces on them. How can you justify selling shoes in that condition? Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, and I hope management takes a closer look at both the customer service and the condition of the merchandise. By the way of pair of Nike shoes that literally had feces and food and all of that on it was $15 be so for real

Polina was great. Helpful when we asked for four shirts for my son. She pulled two different sizes…read moreoff the shelves to hold up to him for sizing. We pick the better size then asked for two of each color. She grabbed all four, rung us up, we paid, then we went home. As I am getting them out of the store bag to wash, that is when I notice one of the four is for the wrong school. Oh just perfect. An exchange will have to wait as we are 40 minutes away. Then I meet Jacqueline. On the day of the return I explain that I just need the right school shirt, an easy fix. An honest mistake was made, but we can make this right within minutes. I am given a hard time, asking am I sure this was the location I got the shirts and did I not check them when I pulled them off the shelf. When I explained the staff member helped me. Stating that as she works here, she was looking through the shirts with me to find the right size and school, she is the one to grab the shirts so I did not question her choices. Jacqueline scoffs at me when I say this. My face must have said "excuse me", as that is when Jacqueline stated she wasn't giving me a hard time. Seriously? She was actively giving me a hard time. She started to become rude, more aggressive in her words and a shift in her stance, until she looked up and remembered that someone was setting up a table in front where the school shirts were and watching our interaction. All of a sudden she makes a comment about how I was not remembering my visit correctly with a fake laugh, but then stated since I just want to exchange the item she can do this for me. As if this was my fault, but out of the goodness of her heart she will help me out. At $30 a shirt, low quality material (you can see through the polo shirts), and rude employees, I hope next year the school does not stay here and goes elsewhere. 19.10.2025
