The Kid’s Court

The Kid’s Court moved July 5 to 1724 E. Battlefield, Ste. B, from 3250 E. Battlefield, Ste. G. Owner Rhonda Reese said the higher traffic counts at Glenstone and Battlefield drew her to the new location. The store, which employs three, offers upscale clothing for children up to size 16. The Kid’s Court also carries baby gifts and accessories. Reese said the new location provides more selling space than the previous one, but has less storage area for merchandise. Reese leases the 4,000 square-foot space from KimCo Reality. Hours: 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Phone: (417) 889-4427.
