I'm glad to hear this. I can remember as a child going shopping at a stand alone toy store and having the same enjoyment taking my kids. The toy section of a regular department store is just not the same to me. Maybe with the exception of Sears. We loved getting the highly anticipated Big Wish Book every Christmas time from them.

I agree and in the early 90's i loved their diapers and they were prices good. Some of their other products were a bit overpriced though so I think walmart and Target kind of did them in,hopefully they stay competitive price wise.

I love this store....We would always take our grandkids there at the beginning of Fall and they could show us what they wanted for birthdays and Christmas!!! I miss doing that...

Now if they would just bring back Pier One Brick N Mortar, I would love it!!!!

It really does seem to be more of a seasonal store. Unfortuantely it's difficult to operate that way in brick and mortar unless you have an alternate retail endeavor to occupy the space in the off season.
