Depending on where you live, Fall has arrived. Since we live in Denver we get 4 seasons and this is a new change for us because I am use to living in California and there are really only 2 seasons there. In preparing for a new season I sort through my daughters clothes, pack up the no longer needed ones, and get her season appropriate clothing. Since Fall is upon us and winter soon behind I have started getting my daughter lots of long sleeved tops, sweats, and hoodies.
My latest shopping trip was purchases from Cookie’s Kids. Cookie’s Kids is is the #1 retailer for kid’s school uniforms in the US and the world’s largest kids department store. In addition to school uniforms, Cookie’s Kids offers a large selection of Baby items and Urban clothing from brands such as Hello Kitty, The North Face, Rocawear, and ED Hardy, among other brands. They have 7 stores in the NYC area in Bronx, Brooklyn and Jamaica as well as online at CookiesKids.com.
In 1972, a young man named Cookie and his brother Marvin went into business together. They rented a 1600 square foot store in Jamaica, Queens, fixed it up, bought inventory and Summer and Fall, and opened a day after Thanksgiving with a full stock of holiday toys. The toys were a success and they put the extra money toward buying children’s clothing for the next season. When that did well, they bought more clothing. The business was on it’s way.
As the brothers Cookie, Marvin and Sonny, who had come in as a third partner in the business, began to open new stores in new locations, inventory expanded. Besides the latest fashions, our customers wanted shoes, toys, backpacks and accessories and we were prepared to deliver.By the late 1990’s there were six superstores throughout the NYC area, and though they previously had different names, by that time they were all named Cookie’s Kids. Also in the late ’90s came an important addition to Cookie’s Kids’ inventory: school uniforms. It was the steady success in uniform sales that paved the way for founding CookiesKids.com in 2007, which originally sold uniforms and soon after the entire Cookie’s Kids Inventory.
I had never heard about Cookie’s Kids before, but I love finding new stores to shop at and seeing what cute things I can find. Cookie’s Kids had a great selection and variety of clothing as well as GREAT prices! Along with their great prices they offer $5 flat shipping on all orders, coupons, and special deals.
I was able to snag some GREAT deals, along with a FREE $25 restaurant.com gift card when I purchased over $25 worth of items. Make sure you sign up for their newsletter because they constantly inform you about sales, coupons, and special promotions.
