About JBF

Reading

Hi, I’m John, and I help families say “YES!”

As a JBF Franchise Owner in Reading, PA, my job is simple: make it easier for families to get what their kids need without breaking the bank. Kids grow fast, seasons change, and the costs add up quickly. I get it because I’ve lived it.

My family found Just Between Friends back in 2008, and it changed the way we thought about parenting on a budget. My wife Tracy and her friend Beth launched Pennsylvania’s first JBF franchise in Reading in Spring 2009, and I was right there in the background, doing whatever the business needed. 

As the business grew, my role grew with it. Behind the scenes, then more and more front and center, until December 2022 when Tracy stepped into her role as CEO of the JBF Franchise System and I took over the day-to-day operations of our Reading and Oaks locations. Now I lead the Reading event alongside an outstanding team of moms and dads who pour everything into making this sale great. Together, we’ve built it into one of the largest consignment events in the entire country, right here in Berks County.

At the end of the day, JBF is about helping parents say ‘YES” to their kids more often. That’s the mission. That’s why this matters.

We’d love for you to be part of it.

Make an Impact

Beyond Your Earnings

When you consign with JBF, you’re not just earning money for your family. You’re also helping other families in Reading.

Sellers always have the option to donate unsold items, turning gently used clothes, toys, and gear into meaningful support for families who need it most. Together, local sellers help keep quality items in the community and put them to good use.

JBF Reading is proud to support

I’ve been shopping the sale for 9 years; selling for 1.5 years. Biggest regret? Not selling sooner!! Nothing warms my heart more than my boys saying, “Mommy, this can go to JBF!” So grateful for this sale and all the amazing deals scored each sale!

I got so many new items - brand new with tags! Lightly worn Gap jackets and Nike jackets were so cheap. I’d pay the same amount at the mall for 3-5 items for the 31-35 items I got at JBF Reading!
