“Glee Kids provides clothes, shoes, gifts, and gear for children sizes newborn to eight.” Glee Kids owner, Melissa Russell, has been seeking out the best clothing and shoes for kids since the first of her two children was born eight years ago. “It’s an obsession,” Melissa explains, “I only buy things that make me smile. They have to combine comfort, quality, and value with contemporary flair.” The idea that everything in the store earns a smile is the reason for the name Glee Kids and the impetus behind her popular blog at www.gleekids.com.

Glee Kids provides clothes, shoes, gifts, and gear for children sizes newborn to eight. Favorite wearables are from Appaman, Claesen’s, Cotton Caboodle, Little Ella, Glug, Paul Frank, Splendid Littles, and Tea. There is also an increasing presence of shoes from Primigi, See Kai Run, and Superga. The best baby gift is the Aden + Anais Australian swaddling blanket. This careful selection of brands makes Glee Kids the perfect place to find duds for a special occasion or an amazing rock and roll tee that is sure to become an everyday favorite.

The d’cor is bright and comfortable. Photographs from local photographer Rebecca Mudrick line the walls, a train table occupies the kids, and music is always playing – anything from Dan Zanes to Yo La Tengo might be heard. The whole set up makes the store a fun place to be – a place where parents and kids can hang out, have a cup of coffee, and enjoy themselves while they shop.

Located on Chapel Hill’s main drag, Franklin Street, across the street from Aveda with lots of free parking in front, Glee Kids is quickly becoming a must stop shop for kids and the people who love them. A place to find glee. Lots and lots of glee.
