I'm honestly not that impressed with our local Children's Orchard anymore. Years ago, I used to go in and come up with bags and bags full of nearly-new name brand and boutique clothes. I was lucky to get out of the store without spending at least $100 per trip. The last couple times I was in though, I just wasn't able to find the quality of items I wanted at the low prices I'd like to pay. The store seems to be filled with off-brands from Target, Wal Mart, etc... and not the Gymboree, Gap, etc... that I prefer. There weren't very many matching sets and those that I was finding, weren't even sized the same (for example: a 12-18 months top with 6-12 months pair of shorts). I was also really surprised to see that many items were faded and showed significant washwear or slight marks - and these weren't even on the play clothes rack! I'm not at all crazy about the current staff here... in fact, I feel that they've been quite rude at times. I have 5 kids in their sizing range and would love to be able to spend some money with this store! I'm going to wait a few months before going back... hopefully things will have changed for the better by then!!!
