Meet the Kid to Kid Franchise Team

Shauna Sloan

Co-Founder

Little did we know when we opened the first children’s resale store over 30 years ago, that our concept would expand and grow to be one of the biggest and best resale franchises in the world. We’re still a privately owned family run company — which allows us to have personal relationships with our franchisees. It’s been rewarding for me to watch our kids grow up and, in some cases, join Mom and Dad in the business. As a mother and grandmother, I relate to the challenges of trying to balance work, family, community, and play. I spend most of my time creating systems (including the amazing Baseline Point of Sale program) to make that balance possible for our franchise owners. We’d love to have you join our family!
