Bird in the Nest

Seeking someone who has always wanted to own a children’s resale shop! If you are excited about resale, have a love for the environment, and an interest in owning your own small business while keeping this gem of a store open for the community, please reach out. Getting the store through the closure and pandemic, while managing two elementary school children was a challenge, both financially and mentally. I’m wiped out and it’s time for me to move on. However, I would really ...like to pass it on and see all of the love and work that has gone in to Bird in the Nest move forward. We would offer a long transition period with full training on the existing systems. My hope is that now that the vaccine is rolling out, and traffic is picking up, Bird in the Nest will once again thrive with an energetic, idea-filled new owner. Please contact me by email if you would like more information. Michelle [email protected]

You can show your love for Bird in the Nest from the comfort of your home, while sending a treat to someone you love.
