Timber Tots Trading Co. Opens With Soft Launch in Roseburg

A new children’s resale shop is opening its doors in Roseburg, but the owners are keeping things simple for the first day.

Timber Tots Trading Co. is holding a soft opening today at 250 NE Garden Valley Boulevard, Suite 9, inside One Champion Plaza. The store carries pre-loved kids’ clothing, shoes, toys, and gear, with a focus on affordable prices and items for families with young children.

The owners describe Timber Tots as a small, locally owned Pacific Northwest-style trading post for kids, or as they put it, a place where “tiny adventurers find big deals.”

For the soft opening, the store is mainly giving people a chance to come in, look around, and help the owners test things out before a bigger grand opening celebration later this summer.

“We are doing a super soft opening today,” the owner said. “I'm mainly wanting to let folks come in and check it out and test our systems, work out glitches, etc.”

The store is also running a 30% off sale on all Peppypotamus tags during the soft opening.

A larger grand opening is planned for Fourth of July weekend. The owners said that event is expected to include goodie bags, a treasure hunt, larger sales, and possibly face painting and other activities.

The story behind Timber Tots is also pretty relatable for a lot of local families. The owners are parents themselves, and said the idea came together during a season of juggling work schedules, childcare, and family life.

“Truly it was prompted by being parents ourselves,” the owner said. “The opportunity to purchase it aligned with changes in work schedules and daycare for our family, so it just made sense to open something that is ours.”

The owner said being a working parent has been one of the hardest things they have done, especially when it feels impossible to give everything 100% at the same time.

“Our hope is that this store bridges that gap,” the owner said.

Along with being a resale shop, the owners hope Timber Tots becomes a place that helps build community among parents and caregivers. With a background in social work and social services, the owner said connection is a big part of what they want the store to become.

“If I can help contribute to this community in a lasting way then I will be happy with what this store has become,” the owner said. “Being a parent or caregiver has its own challenges without feeling like you're doing it all alone on top of that.”

Timber Tots Trading Co. is located at 250 NE Garden Valley Boulevard, Suite 9, in One Champion Plaza.

The store’s regular hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The store is closed Wednesdays.
