Recession-Resistant and Rapidly Expanding: Why the Resale Industry is a Smart Move for Franchisees

When the economy hits a rough patch, many businesses struggle to stay afloat. But for smart entrepreneurs, tough times reveal strong opportunities—and the children’s clothing resale industry is one of them. Kid to Kid is built on a business model that doesn’t just survive recessionary periods, it thrives because of them. As families look for ways to save money and stretch their paychecks, our stores become an essential lifeline.

 

Parents will always need clothes, toys, and gear for their growing kids—and they’re always looking for smart ways to save. With prices rising and budgets tightening, shopping secondhand is no longer a trend; it’s a necessity. According to industry data, the resale market is expected to nearly double in size by 2029, reaching >$70 billion. At Kid to Kid, we’re tapping into that explosive growth with a model that allows families to both buy and sell gently-used items. By offering in-demand items at up to 70% off retail while simultaneously providing cash on the spot for pre-loved items, Kid to Kid offers customers two ways to win. Our differentiated value proposition also creates a constant flow of inventory and foot traffic—two things every retail business owner needs to thrive.

 

Our stores provide real value to parents, reduce waste, and support local communities—all while offering franchisees a scalable, profitable business opportunity. When the economy shifts, people shop smarter—and that’s when Kid to Kid shines brightest. If you’re looking for a proven business that families depend on in any economic environment, Kid to Kid is ready to grow with you!
