Like shoes that pinch a growing kidâs toes, the walls were crowding in on Once Upon a Child.
Highchairs and bouncy seats were crammed into one end of the store. Racks of pants, shirts and dresses seemed to brush the ceiling and pajamas and sneakers jostled for room in the back.
âWe knew we were outgrowing it,â said Don Deimling about the 2,650-square-foot space for the store he owns with his wife, Wendy, and son, Cody.
Once Upon a Child had been tucked into a corner of Valley Plaza, 2454 U.S. Highway 6&50, for about six years, four of those owned by the Deimlings.
