Kids' Ketch

In addition
to toys, books and games for all ages, the shop
originally carried small accessory items for kids like
hats and T-shirts. Years back, Kids' Ketch branched out further
in the fashion world and the store now carries a broad selection of
playwear for newborn to size 14. "We like to say we carry the clothes
kids love to wear- comfortable and stylish,” said Teresa.

Over the years, running the shop has been a family affair, with Jim,
her children, Jacob and Maren, and her mother, Mary Pritchett all
working in the shop. The store manager, Karin Evick, started working
at Kid’s Ketch when she was 14 years old. Now Karin’s young son enjoys
visiting the store. "We are seeing the children of the children who used
to shop with us when they were young. It’s fun seeing the next generation
coming in."

So, if you're one of the generations of devoted Kids' Ketch shoppers
(and a kid at heart no matter what your age) thanks for your fun and
support. And, if you haven’t met us yet, stop in and say hi; there's
always something new and fun going
on here for kids of all ages.

As anticipated, the store filled a much-needed niche, and she soon moved out of her first store to a
new location up the street,
doubling in size. In late 1997, still yearning for more space, she and her
husband Jim purchased the
Franklin Hardware
building on Second
