Our Story: 25+ Years of ExperienceThe first Children's Orchard store opened in 1980. We're proud to have been the first to recognize the enormous opportunity in the Upscale ResaleSM of children's clothing, furniture, and toys and, in 1985, we started franchising others to own and operate their own Children's Orchard stores.
Children's Orchard's 25+ years of experience translates into numerous and substantive benefits for Children's Orchard franchisees. We offer:
- Thorough assistance in choosing a store site and guidance throughout the leasing process;
- A comprehensive store design and build-out program;
- A superior two-week initial training program that includes both classroom and on-site experience;
- Strong resale purchasing assistance including a hands-on evaluation of items you've purchased for your opening inventory;
- Consistent and skilled guidance throughout the opening process;
- Exciting and effective Grand Opening marketing and on-going special promotions managed by a professional marketing firm with strong franchising experience;
- Dedicated public relations support managed by a professional public relations firm focused on serving the needs of Children's Orchard owners and the franchise system;
