Once Upon A Child 1752 U.S. 70, Hickory, NC 28602

"I have brought in the same basket 5 times. Same items. Same clothes. Same toys. They have bought $18-$22 each time. Weird. Very very weird. No where says a limit."

"Walked in with 3 bags of clothes at 5:15 on a Saturday and was told that they stop taking clothes at 5. There's 3 hours and 45 minutes that y'all are open. Why do you stop taking clothes that early?"

"***Edited a year later*** I'm not sure what is happening in this store but the clothes they are selling seem to be more ragged then they used to be. The prices have gone up due to inflation (as expected). The selection of clothing they have to look through seems to be dwindling in size. Like i said, I'm not sure what's been happening. There were clothes just littering the isles that shoppers just seem to drop and non of it gets picked up. I was constantly stepping over and even picked up some clothes. The employees there just don't seem to care.** As a mother of 2 boys, I know the struggle of how hard it is to find a large enough boy section at a department store without having to shop online. This store has a very large boys clothing section and I always find great items at fairly decent prices. I've gotten everything from clothes, hangers, hats, jackets, a bassinet for my little baby (was in pretty good shape), a pack-n-play for now that he's a little older (new in box), a diaper bag, some other little baby items. Books are a good purchase. Beware of shoes. I've only ever bought 3 pairs so far in the over 4 years since i started shopping there and that is because I just happened to find them new. Shoes are better off purchased elsewhere. Overall my family and I enjoy this store and it's always fun going. **My review is solely based on my purchasing experiences. I've never sold any items there. We just donate our no-longer-needed baby clothes and all to the Pregnancy Resource Center.**"

"This place overcharges you for clothes with stains on them and balls on them. You can find brand new clothes for almost the same price at Gabe’s, Tjmax, Ross, or Burlington. Also, staff is very rude . I found the exact same 2 piece set they had marked $5.50 and they would not give me it for that price because they said the pants and shirt were brought in at separate times. Charged me $8.50 ."

"I'm guessing the bald dude is the owner. I will never shop here again, he is hateful, angry and unpleasant. The store needs a lot of help. Shirts with holes that are priced at retail price. The store has lost all sense of joy and quality. I'd rather shop at goodwill than here. FYI Jelly beans is the place to be at."
