“The super savvy moms of Northeast Arkansas have welcomed us and have helped us grown with each sale! We doubled our consignors and TRIPLED our items this past sale and are looking forward to growing more to provide you with more!” said Lauren Miller, Owner of Rhea Lana’s of Jonesboro. “I first experienced a Rhea Lana's sale as an expectant mother. I was skeptical about finding anything but went along with friends. Needless to say, I found many bargains, some splurges and more baby equipment than I really needed! I was hooked. The quality, pricing and customer service found at Rhea Lana's is unparalleled. There are many consignment events around the country, but Rhea Lana's is the only one I felt compelled to participate in due to the high standards it puts forth on both the consignment sale itself, and the franchise owners."
