Carter's Childrens' Clothing Store Now Open at Skywest Commons

Carter's children's clothing store opened last week at Skywest Commons shopping center, bringing with it 10 new jobs, according to store manager Estella Garcia.

She said along with the grand opening, 4,000 store coupons of 20 percent off purchases $40 or more were given throughout the Bay Area.

Garcia said the store also offers weekly promotions, stamp cards and even grandparent discounts.

Plenty of parents and grandparents have stopped by the store since it opened. However, Garcia said day care providers also seem to make up a majority of customers.

"Having children, I know what a day in day care looks like," she said.

Providers often stock up on discounted clothing as "back up" in case of accidents.

Garcia said the Hayward Carter's was the chain's 345th store to open in California. Another is expected to open early next year in Emeryville.

"Their management staff is coming out of my store," said Garcia. "It's a lot of pressure, but I know I can make it work."
