Is Your Kid A Cinnamon Street Kid?

Sixteen years ago, Kylie Cornford, the owner of Cinnamon Street Kids, seized the opportunity to buy a boutique children’s store after having kids of her own. This marked the beginning of a venture that has since become a beloved staple in the community.
The recent move to a new location was prompted by the need for a fresh start and a request from the neighbouring chemist for more space. "The old shop was getting stale, and the chemist next door wanted more space," Kylie explains.
Customer foot traffic and the business environment remain consistent at the new location and Kylie says she loves the neighbouring retail stores that create a boutique feel to this side of the street.
While the core offerings of the store remains the same, there's an exciting expansion into more baby products and items for mothers on the horizon.
Staying on top of trends in children's fashion is crucial for Cinnamon Street Kids.
One standout aspect of the store is the popular Australian clothing brand Ziggy Lou, especially favoured by young mothers.
"Their newest collections just get better and stronger each season. They're so on the market with baby and kids fashion right now," she highlights, underscoring the store's commitment to stylish and comfortable clothing for children. Quality is paramount, focusing on organic, high-quality brands.
Suggestions from customers have also led to successful additions like Subo feeding bottles, which continue to sell well.
Cinnamon Street Kids is poised for continued success, bringing stylish and comfortable clothing to more families.
