In just two days the KTCP has had over $1300 worth of inventory come in! That's 600+ new pieces of clothing! Once again KCTP is experiencing major growing pains and I need your help! I'm trying to find an alternative to running the KCTP out of my home, my space has been maxed out.
There really is no budget for this since the trading fee is only $3/trade and I don't want to charge more.
There is the idea of running it out of a mini self storage unit in the area. I've called a couple but I would need one that would allow customers to drive up and visit my space. Most storage facilities are gated and you would need a security code to get in. If you know of one in Port Orchard that would work, please let me know.
I've also thought about getting a storage shed to place in the yard. I have the space for it, but the initial cost for the shed can be upwards of $2000.00. If I could find one that could be donated, I would need one at least 10'x12'. If you know or have one that could be donated to the Kids Clothing Trading Post, please let me know.
Any other ideas? I've looked into retail spaces in the area, but I can't afford them and I've already asked my husband if we could just buy a bigger house, but that didn't work either!
Let me know what y'all think!
Thanks for reading and Happy Trading!

- I started the Kids Clothing Trading Post back in March, 2010 with just two racks and a few bins of clothes. In just 6 months we grew to 16 racks and tons of bins with more in backstock! Finally in October we built a 10x20 shed in our yard to house the KCTP and it is fabulous! Our community has come together in a huge way and we want you to join in on the fun!
