Business Profile - The Bees Knees - Voted retailer of the year in Sooke, BC

Each month we select a local business to feature and to learn more about. Next month it could be you.

The Bee's Knees Children's Store & More is an environmentally conscious consignment store for the whole family. Consignment is all about reducing, reusing and recycling. And since July of 2008 when Judi Trudel and Rob Westgate took ownership of the business, they have made some great changes to encompass this environmental philosophy and encourage people to shop locally.

NEW PRODUCTS such as Canadian made t-shirts, organic cotton onsies and stainless steel water bottles have expanded the store’s variety. Sooke crafters are encouraged to sell their products on a credit basis. You can find great deals on consigned, affordable name brand items (Gap and Lululemon), seasonal sports equipment, books, DVD’s, toys, shoes and baby equipment.

So, how do you get started? Easy! Bring in 2 small bags of gently used, freshly laundered items. Seasonally acceptable clothing from infant sizes up to Maternity and Adult Plus Sizes is accepted. A computer data base records items and when sold, 50% of the selling price is credited to the consignor’s account. Credit can be used anytime. Monthly cash payouts are also available. Accounts for groups i.e.: School Pacs or non profits are welcome.

Shop often and check out the great daily and weekly specials! There’s always something new!
