Jack in the Box is part of the dying breed that is an independent toy shop.
It is located in East Kilbride Shopping Centre close to Marks & Spencer and if you have children, you need to take them here.
The store is set out in a real child friendly way, with most toys set out on low shelves so children can see what is on offer.
Now you won't get the same kind of selection of toys in Jack in the Box as you would in Toys R Us, but then again, you won't get anything like the service you get in Jack in the Box at Toys R Us. So there's payback for everything I suppose!
The staff are truly knowledgeable about the products they sell and while some items are more expensive than supermarkets and other chains, some are not, so don't believe the myth that independent toy stores are more expensive!
My daughter absolutely loves this store and her favourite part is the pocket money shelves.
This area is close to the till and offers an array of cheap and cheerful toys for her to spend a few pence on including super bouncing balls, mini telescopes and novelty pens. There's also a selection of joke products and tricks such as Whoopee Cushions!
If you are in East Kilbride with children, I highly recommend you pop into this store! read more
