Become a Toy Store Owner

Open Your Own Toy Shop

Imagine having a fun and rewarding career as the owner of a neighborhood toy store, getting paid to select and sell high quality toys to promote play and learning.

About a Career as a Toy Store Owner

When you open a neighborhood toy store (also known as an independent toy store, specialty toy shop, or hobby shop), you have the freedom to choose the types of toys you want to sell.

Instead of the mass market merchandise sold at chain stores, you can offer specialty toys to foster physical, intellectual, and social growth in children. Or you can sell toys, games, or kits that inspire creativity in adults and children. As a toy store owner, you could choose to sell:

  • Action figures
  • Arts and crafts
  • Baby toys
  • Books
  • Brainteasers
  • Building sets
  • Counting toys
  • Dolls
  • Games
  • Puzzles
  • Model-building kits
  • Musical toys
  • Science kits
  • Sports toys
  • Plush toys such as stuffed animals
  • Toy cars and vehicles
  • Other types of toys

When you open a neighborhood toy store, you can give people the shopping experience they crave, but so rarely find in big chain stores.

You can attract smart shoppers who want to avoid long lines, empty shelves, messy stores, and hard-to-find sales staff. A specialty toy store offers what the big stores do not: unique merchandise, quality products, good selection, and knowledgeable customer service in a friendly environment.

As the owner of your own toy store, you can become an important part of your community, selling toys to people who value your knowledge and expert advice.

Your customers won't come to you for the lowest toy prices; they'll come to you for the specialty products and service that make your toy store a fun and welcoming place to shop and to linger awhile.

    People Have Said…

    Brenna Pearce, Editor:

    If you’ve dreamed of exchanging your current workday for your own business running a toy store, the FabJob Guide to Become a Toy Store Owner is for you. Each chapter is full of important information, helpful advice from experts, and valuable resources. It takes you step-by-step through what you need to know to open and operate your own successful toy store.”

    Melissa Palermo-Spero, owner, The Fun-est Toy Store Ever!, Pennsylvania:

    Service plays a big role because most employees at a box store know very little about the products they sell. It is a huge advantage to have employees who are well versed in what you offer.”

    Bonnie Brown, owner, Gepetto’s Workshop, Wisconsin:

    Some merchandise is standard. Customers know they will always be able to find it at our store. This helps develop customer loyalty. We add a seasonal mix every quarter. We also constantly look for new and creative toys to add to the mix.” (Melissa and Bonnie are two of the toy store owners and experts who give advice in this FabJob guide.)

    Tamara E. Holmes, Essence Magazine:
