"Would you recommend this business"…read more
Umm hell yeah! Ok. Story time lol. Couple weeks ago, my neighbors cat, Duke, 17 years old got very sick. He passed away from kidney failure. Anyone on here who knows me and my reviews, I've mentioned my little Frankie boy a 1000x who passed from CHF, but in the end, it was kidney failure that took him.
So my heart goes out to my neighbor. She was so upset and I 1000% understand her pain.
So when I ventured out to get protein powder..I thought..ima get Alison a stuffed toy cat as a "I'm sorry gift"
Of course they had one on Amazon but boo! Amazon is ok, but supporting local stores is so much better .. for me at least. Amazon is a last resort.
Omw to my nutrition shop, I looked for toy stores that were NOT target or Walmart!
Somehow, 3 doors down from the nutrition shop was this toy store! Needless to say, but I was pretty stoked.
What made me even happier is they had a gray cat and one that was lying down vs most stuffed animals that are sitting up. Duke had some white on his chest, but the one I bought..did not. That's ok. It's the thought that counts, right? At least I didn't buy an orange cat lol.
This store has everything! I was surprised at the decent amount of stuffed animals, they have an entire games section, basically, it's like the old school toy stores that are few and far between anymore because of Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc.
I was also happy to see the store with a decent amount of customers. The employees could have been more engaging because they hung out at the front with each other. Call me old school, I guess, but I worked retail and never would have not greeted customers, went to help or at least ask etc.
Sad most stores don't do that at all anymore.
This place still gets 5 stars because I loved the place. I absolutely recommend it especially to people tired as hell with the janky ass toy sections at Walmarts (eye roll)
I love me some Target, we all do lol. However, it's always nice to support local business because Targets and Walmarts don't need us as much...obviously lol
My neighbor absolutely loved the cat. Made me happy to see her smile. 17 years with him and losing him...massive jolt. Hell, losing any pet is a massive jolt, a horrible gut punch.
Anyway. Go! You'll love it. Even if you don't buy anything..who doesn't like going to an actual toy store if even briefly for memories of your past. Again, if you read my reviews, I'm a huge sucker for nostalgia. Stores like this make me happy even if I rarely go because...I don't buy toys lol.
All my nieces and nephews are pretty much past that stage :(
Thanks for reading, Yelperoys!!
Cheers!
