Booming Industry Backdrop

Kid to Kid sits at the center of the thriving $43BN clothing resale industry. Over the past decade, the secondhand apparel market in the U.S. has exploded in popularity, maintaining an over 10% average annual growth rate with no signs of slowing down. In fact, resale’s strong alignment with both younger customers (Gen Z) and sustainability is expected to fuel robust growth for years to come.
Adding another layer of security, the appeal of resale is only amplified during periods of economic turmoil. With an “all-weather” financial profile, our stores typically thrive when others fail.
