Metroplex Baby & Kids founders and sisters, Barbara Arnondin and Tina Wysk grew up in Dallas-Fort Worth. Once they became moms, the Metroplex became a large unknown. They spent hours flipping through the phone book and searching the internet for the best baby products and deals, as well as for activities for their kids. They did not find any of the available directories useful, as they list only paid advertisers instead of giving the “full scoop.” After constantly remarking “why isn’t there a web site that lists all this information,” they decided to start Metroplex Baby & Kids. Barb used the experience she gained from having owned and operated her own business, and Tina employed the skills she had attained from a 10 year career working in Dallas and New York City for Fortune 500 companies. They launched The Scoop in 2005 and other services followed. With the help of a dedicated team of area moms and dads, they strive to provide families living in the Metroplex the centralized resources we searched for so desperately.
