DOWNTOWN WELCOMING CONSIGNMENT STORE FOR KIDS
By BRIANNA LAUTTAMUS
Staff Writer
STEUBENVILLE – Providing patrons with the highest quality, gently used merchandise at a fair and affordable price is the philosophy behind a new store opening downtown.
Forever Young, an upscale resale consignment store for children, will open its doors in September to provide the area with recycled clothing, furniture and toys that are “in great condition but have been outgrown.”
“This concept of consignment is a hot concept right now”, said Ed Lloyd, co-owner of the store. “In this economy, it’s a great way to save money on still quality, used clothes.”
Lloyd and his wife Louise, Steubenville natives, plan to open their shop in the former Phil-Mor building, 336 Market Street.
No strangers to business, the Lloyds have spent many years operating a printing business in downtown Steubenville but recently decided to get into a business that would “do something that was needed for the area and that would help in the current revitalization that is currently taking place downtown.”
“When we first thought about opening a new business, Lou Stein (of the Valley Ventures economic development organization) had several suggestions of what types of stores would be conducive to the recovery of downtown. The consignment store was one of them,” Lloyd said.
“After visiting several consignment stores out of town, we decided to open one here in Steubenville,” Louise added.
“I have really loved working with the Lloyds in the planning and opening of Forever Young,” Stein said. “Their store will be a great addition to the many other new businesses, which have just opened or are set to open in the next several weeks and months. I am confident that this store will draw customers from Steubenville, as well as many surrounding communities. Parents and grandparents will love the tremendous value, bargains, and selection they will be able to find for their children and grandchildren.”
People interested in consigning their gently used items can call Forever Young to make an appointment.
“But there are certain criteria that must be met to consign with our store,” Louise Lloyd said, adding that all items are inspected to certify that only the highest quality items make it to the sales floor.
Potential consignors must ensure that each item is on a hanger or neatly folded in a ban, recently cleaned and pressed, spot free, damage free and odor free, Louise Lloyd continued.
“Seventy five percent of our store will be consigned, and 25 percent will be new items that you won’t be able to find in box stores,” Ed Lloyd said, adding that the new items will be “boutiqueish” and will feature brands such as Baby Legs and Kiderables.
“We’re also going to carry our own line of American-made clothing called Forever Young,” he added.
And his wife noted that the store will also feature hand-made clothing for the American Girl doll collection.
“We have a woman that will make clothing for the dolls that can match a child’s clothing,” she said.
Ed Lloyd noted that he and his wife will be spending the next few weeks getting the store set up, acquiring inventory and training their personnel. They plan to open in early September, and they will notify the public of their opening date soon, Lloyd said.
Store hours will be 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays.
“We are very excited about this new venture and returning to the downtown area,” he said. “We are pleased to bring this new, unique concept to Steubenville. There is really nothing like this between Pittsburgh and Columbus. This will give parents throughout the upper Ohio Valley a convenient way to buy and sell gently used kids’ clothing. This niche fits in perfectly with the economy.”
“People still want to dress their kids in nice clothes,” Louise Lloyd added. “This will be an affordable way for them to do that.”

And his wife noted that the store will also feature hand-made clothing for the American Girl doll collection.
“We have a woman that will make clothing for the dolls that can match a child’s clothing,” she said.
Ed Lloyd noted that he and his wife will be spending the next few weeks getting the store set up, acquiring inventory and training their personnel. They plan to open in early September, and they will notify the public of their opening date soon, Lloyd said.
Store hours will be 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays.
“We are very excited about this new venture and returning to the downtown area,” he said. “We are pleased to bring this new, unique concept to Steubenville. There is really nothing like this between Pittsburgh and Columbus. This will give parents throughout the upper Ohio Valley a convenient way to buy and sell gently used kids’ clothing. This niche fits in perfectly with the economy.”
“People still want to dress their kids in nice clothes,” Louise Lloyd added. “This will be an affordable way for them to do that.”

DOWNTOWN WELCOMING CONSIGNMENT STORE FOR KIDS

STEUBENVILLE – Providing patrons with the highest quality, gently used merchandise at a fair and affordable price is the philosophy behind a new store opening downtown.
Forever Young, an upscale resale consignment store for children, will open its doors in September to provide the area with recycled clothing, furniture and toys that are “in great condition but have been outgrown.”
“This concept of consignment is a hot concept right now”, said Ed Lloyd, co-owner of the store. “In this economy, it’s a great way to save money on still quality, used clothes.”
Lloyd and his wife Louise, Steubenville natives, plan to open their shop in the former Phil-Mor building, 336 Market Street.
No strangers to business, the Lloyds have spent many years operating a printing business in downtown Steubenville but recently decided to get into a business that would “do something that was needed for the area and that would help in the current revitalization that is currently taking place downtown.”
“When we first thought about opening a new business, Lou Stein (of the Valley Ventures economic development organization) had several suggestions of what types of stores would be conducive to the recovery of downtown. The consignment store was one of them,” Lloyd said.
“After visiting several consignment stores out of town, we decided to open one here in Steubenville,” Louise added.
“I have really loved working with the Lloyds in the planning and opening of Forever Young,” Stein said. “Their store will be a great addition to the many other new businesses, which have just opened or are set to open in the next several weeks and months. I am confident that this store will draw customers from Steubenville, as well as many surrounding communities. Parents and grandparents will love the tremendous value, bargains, and selection they will be able to find for their children and grandchildren.”
People interested in consigning their gently used items can call Forever Young to make an appointment.
“But there are certain criteria that must be met to consign with our store,” Louise Lloyd said, adding that all items are inspected to certify that only the highest quality items make it to the sales floor.
Potential consignors must ensure that each item is on a hanger or neatly folded in a ban, recently cleaned and pressed, spot free, damage free and odor free, Louise Lloyd continued.
“Seventy five percent of our store will be consigned, and 25 percent will be new items that you won’t be able to find in box stores,” Ed Lloyd said, adding that the new items will be “boutiqueish” and will feature brands such as Baby Legs and Kiderables.
“We’re also going to carry our own line of American-made clothing called Forever Young,” he added.
And his wife noted that the store will also feature hand-made clothing for the American Girl doll collection.
“We have a woman that will make clothing for the dolls that can match a child’s clothing,” she said.
