The Bay, Canada’s iconic retailer, today announced its entry into the baby gear resale industry through a partnership with Canadian startup, Rebelstork. North America’s first managed marketplace for the resale of overstock, open box and quality used baby gear, Rebelstork provides parents with a hassle-free way to buy and resell their baby gear.

This new experience for customers provides an opportunity to upcycle their baby products to other parents while realizing value from their initial investment.

“Last year, we began to reimagine our kids strategy at The Bay to elevate the entire shopping experience for families. From baby showrooms to our Rookie shops, we have evolved to be more relevant, more innovative and easier than ever to shop for all stages of childhood,” says Laura Janney, Chief Merchant, The Bay…
