Tracy Schwegman, Kid to Kid franchisee in Plano, Texas and mother of triplets understood the challenges of being a working parent
"It's a juggling act taking care of two stores, three kids and our employees, but being a Kid to Kid owner gives me flexibility in my schedule," Schwegman stated.
"So if there's an event, field trip or doctor's appointment, I can be there for my kids," she added.
Kid to Kid was developed by a Shauna Sloan, a mother with six children as a venue for parents to buy and sell items that they children have outgrown.
"I pictured a store that had all the benefits of a yard sale, such as terrific bargains and quality products, where parents could buy and sell year round at times that were convenient to them," explained Sloan.
"I wanted a way to facilitate sharing within the community and to help parents earn money for the things their kids had outgrown. It's recycling at its best!" Sloan added.
Currently Kid to Kid has 100 locations across the United States and Portugal and plans to expand to more branches this year.
