Meet the owner:

Prior to opening the Once Upon A Child in Oak Brook, owner Rachel Gutierrez spent over 15 years specializing in marketing leading e-commerce websites in the floral/gifts and juvenile markets.  As the proud mother of two young girls, Rachel has been a savvy shopper at Once Upon A Child stores for over 10 years and takes great pride in outfitting not only her two daughters, but also extended family members in affordable brand name clothing.  Now, she is thrilled to combine her expertise in marketing and her love for children’s retail into an exciting franchise.  Especially in today’s tough economy, Rachel realizes the vitality in buying quality children’s clothing, toys, and more at a great value.  She can’t wait to offer such savings to parents and grandparents like you!
