Families in the East Bay area have reason to rejoice as Rhea Lana’s, a renowned children’s consignment event, makes its inaugural appearance in the region with Rhea Lana’s of East Bay. Scheduled to take place at the Fremont Hub from August 10 to August 16, 2024, with a Pre-Sale on August 8 and 9, this event promises to deliver both economic benefits and community support to local families.
Founded by Rhea Lana Riner more than 16 years ago, Rhea Lana’s has established itself as a leading provider of consignment sales across 26 states with over 120 locations nationwide. The event in East Bay aims to offer families a budget-friendly opportunity to shop for children's and teen items just in time for the upcoming Back-to-School season.
April Sonsona, owner of Rhea Lana’s of East Bay and a longtime resident of Fremont, expressed her enthusiasm about bringing the event to her community. "Having been a part of this community for so long, I am thrilled to introduce Rhea Lana’s to the East Bay," Sonsona said. "It’s a fantastic chance for families to consign their gently used items and discover great deals on quality clothing and goods."
What sets Rhea Lana’s apart is its commitment to community involvement. Sixty cents of every dollar earned through the event goes directly back to local families, reinforcing its community-driven ethos. In a special gesture of support, foster families are invited to shop for free on August 17, 2024, from 11 am to 12 pm.
April Sonsona’s personal connection to the event adds a deeper layer of meaning. After spending 16 years in the Atlanta Metro area, she returned to Fremont in 2023. As a cancer survivor treated at Stanford University Medical Center, April not only found resilience but also realized her dream of becoming a first-time mother in her 40s. She actively involves her energetic 4-year-old son in marketing and operational activities related to Rhea Lana’s of East Bay, where his infectious enthusiasm helps spread excitement about the event.
The event promises a diverse array of items including newborn to teen clothing, maternity wear, toys, and more – all priced to ensure shopping remains economical and sustainable for families.
