Salt Lake City — BaseCamp Franchising, the parent company behind upscale thrift brands Uptown Cheapskate and Kid to Kid, has recently opened its 300th store in Weatherford, Texas. In addition to its 300th store, BaseCamp’s two concepts opened 16 stores across 10 states in the first half of 2026.
BaseCamp has also signed more than 45 new franchise agreements so far in 2026 from a combination of existing franchisees expanding its portfolios and new franchisees opening their first stores. As part of that expansion, BaseCamp signed several multi-unit agreements with operators with backgrounds in off-price retail, multi-unit operations, corporate leadership and finance.
BaseCamp is planning further expansion across the Northeast, following the debut of Uptown Cheapskate’s first Massachusetts location in Weymouth, which opened in March. Outside of Massachusetts, BaseCamp has multi-unit developments planned in New York, New Jersey and several other states.
Uptown Cheapskate and Kid to Kid have 300 stores operating across 33 U.S. states and several international markets, with an additional 50-plus stores under development.
