Our Mission as a Specialty Toy Store

Since 2013, we have been on a mission to enrich the lives of families and children by providing toys that inspire creativity and spark curiosity.Β 

The Toy Shoppe is a family owned and operated independent toy store run by a close knit team committed to providing our customers with the best possible experience through extensive research into the brands we carry, childhood development, and customer satisfaction. Our practices include hand-testing products, regular staff testing, and constant improvement to our in-store and online presence. These are just a few of the ways we work to be the best in specialty toys and our promise to deliver in each category each time you shop with us. Be sure to follow us on social media and join our newsletter to experience everything we have to offer! Welcome and enjoy your stay!

My favorite place to shop for children’s gifts. We always have so much help when we come in and it’s nice that some of the toys are on display so you can see how they actually work etc.

Always the best shopping experience for toys; I feel like I am getting great toys that have been thourghly researched. The owners obviously have a passion for toys! They are always so helpful and patient with my kids. I love their store so much that I continue shopping with them even after moving to a different state.

I like the curated favorites and what’s new on the home page. I also find the photos and descriptions of items to be really good, easy to navigate/ understand. And I like being able to shop by age!
