Who Are We?

At BaseCamp Franchising, we are revolutionizing the apparel retail industry through our two fast-growing resale brands, Uptown Cheapskate and Kid to Kid. We take an entirely new approach to thrifting, offering a vast assortment of in-demand brands at unbeatable prices, all in a polished, boutique shopping environment. Thanks to this unique combination, we have more than doubled sales to over $200 million in the past 5 years with a huge wave of growth still on the horizon.
We have sustainability at our core, recycling tens of millions of items each year through our growing network of nearly 250 franchised stores. We are also strong advocates of the upcycling ethos: shopping resale can make the world a better, cleaner, and more sustainable place while helping families save money at the same time.
As one of the fastest-growing franchise systems in the country, we are privileged to help hundreds of entrepreneurs find success by owning and operating our stores. Continuous improvement and innovation are the cornerstones of our culture, and our top priority is to maximize the impact our franchisees have in their local communities.
