Owner of The Woodlands Kid to Kid store wins Store of the Month award

THE WOODLANDS, Texas - Local business owner Donna Gylling and her staff at The Woodlands Kid to Kid store were honored with the Kid to Kid Store of the Month award for October. Through this award, the Kid to Kid franchise recognizes one of its 115 locations across the United States, Canada, and Portugal for outstanding achievement.

Donna began her store in February 2005 when her two girls were ages 4 and 8. She says she’d always been a big resale shopper, and that she received lots of compliments on the outfits she found for her girls. “People were always surprised when they found out that my kids wore resale clothes,” Donna recalls. “After I opened a Kid to Kid store, my friends would often say, ‘Oh, this is what resale looks like?’”

Kid to Kid of The Woodlands buys an average of 2,200 gently used children’s items per week from the community, paying its customers for their clothes, baby equipment, toys, books, shoes, and maternity wear. The store then sells these items at up to 70% off of their original retail prices. By helping parents and grandparents recycle their kids’ outgrown stuff, Kid to Kid of The Woodlands provides value to those who sell and to those who shop for their growing kids. In addition, this reduces the amount of waste in the community.

Over the last decade, Donna raised her family as she built a successful store. “My work never gets boring,” Donna reflects. “It really surprises me that even after ten and a half years, every day is something new.” Owning a store is hard work, she says, but it gives her the flexibility to actively participate in her daughters’ lives. She is grateful for a fantastic staff that shares her vision for providing excellent customer service. “The staff here truly wants to provide the best for our customers. We work to offer our community an experience that can’t be found anywhere else, and our staff does a fantastic job.” Remarkably, the first employee Donna hired at Kid to Kid is still faithfully working in her store. Donna and her team are thrilled to be awarded the Kid to Kid Store of the Month.
