Kid to Kid Franchise

Children's resale store

Shauna Sloan dragged her husband Brent into an upscale children's resale store in 1992. As an attorney and shopping center executive, Brent was surprised by the second-hand store's chic clientele. Convinced that no operator had fully maximized the potential of the resale concept, the Sloans set out to create a children's resale format, traveling cross-country to visit stores and talk with customers, managers and owners.

Later that same year, the Sloans opened their first store in Sandy, Utah. They opened a second store within the year, with the first franchise location opening in 1994.
