History

Established in 1938.

The Concord Children’s Shop opened for business on December 1^st 1938. It was started by three Concord matrons to fill a «void» in the local children’s clothing scene by providing the finest children’s apparel that could be found. In 1940 Louisa Alcott Kussin, a relative of Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women, assumed sole ownership of the business and she and her husband ran the store, for the next seven years, at various locations in Concord center. In 1947 The Concord Children’s Shop opened at its present location on the Milldam, at 79 Main Street. Some few years later as the business expanded to include women’s clothing, the name of the business was changed to: The L.A. Kussin Co. Then in 1972 the second Kussin generation of son Fritz and his wife Gigi took over ownership and the name was changed yet again to: Kussin’s, Inc, The Concord Children’s Shop. In 2005, the third generation of Kussin’s, daughters Louisa and Karen, assumed management of the business.
