ASHLAND — Natasha Repp may never sleep.
A longtime early childhood educator and Ashland resident, Repp is the founder and CEO of Clover Hill Early Learning Center — which currently has two locations in Ontario.
Her latest venture — an extension of the early learning center — officially opened for business Wednesday morning.
Clover Kids Resale Shop is a locally owned resale shop offering high-quality, gently used items for babies, children and teens. Located at 1314 Claremont Ave., the shop is open Mondays through Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is closed Sundays.
Patrons can also find strollers, activity centers, high chairs and more at the shop.
Along with browsing items available for purchase, folks can bring in gently used clothing and/or toys for the resale shop to review, sort and price. Clover Kids Resale Shop will then offer cash or store credit for future purchases in exchange for the items.
During a ribbon cutting ceremony Tuesday afternoon, Repp said she wanted to open a business in Ashland since she and her family reside in the city.
“I’m so glad I did. We’re really excited to welcome everybody in,” Repp said. “We’re excited to meet new families and help get them more familiar within the community and the business side of it, so we’re just really excited to be here.”
Mayor Matt Miller presented a proclamation from the state of Ohio to Repp on behalf of State. Rep. Melanie Miller (R-Ashland), the mayor’s wife, thanking her for her investment in the city.
“It’s great that you have opened this business right here in Ashland. We wish you much luck,” the mayor said.
Amy Daubenspeck, president of the Ashland Area Chamber of Commerce, said she hopes Repp does find time to sleep.
“It’s so exciting that we’re kind of going on this journey with you. Thank you for being part of our chamber and chamber family,” Daubenspeck said.
