Almost 25 years ago Weecycle began its existence very humbly as a 600 square foot consignment shop in Gainesville’s Northwood area. In 2002, Tara and Jonathan Richardson became the proud parents of their second child and then shortly followed by the purchase of this already well known business . Weecycle was already the premiere destination for gently used children's products. But, what these proud new owners had not expected was the great demand in Gainesville for new baby products. They listened to the complaints of parents about how the city of Gainesville was the perfect place to raise a family, but it lacked even a single specialty baby store. 

So, in 2005 Tara and Jonathan expanded Weecycle to now include The Babies’ Room, providing Gainesville it’s first baby and mother specialty store. The goal then and now is to give parents a place to find everything they need for their expanding family under one roof. With over 7000 square feet of showroom, Weecycle & The Babies' Room offers a wide selection of Baby Furniture, Travel Gear, Gifts Items, Clothing, Toys and Accessories. If you are expecting your first baby, purchasing a baby shower gift, or shopping for the children in your life, The Babies' Room & Weecycle is here to help..
