Hello!

My name is Margaret Warner, and I have had the pleasure of being involved with The Toy Store since its birth in 1976. Our business has grown, and today we sport two of the largest independently owned specialty toy stores in the world! Our flagship store in Topeka is over 20,000 square feet of fun, and has been awarded the prestigious Playthings Award numerous times by the Toy International Association. Our Lawrence, Kansas store is located in a beautiful historic downtown, and attracts shoppers from all over the world. 

Our Mission:

The Toy Store inspires creativity, individual thinking and community awareness through play and reading. Our Toyologists are here to help you choose the perfect toys. We offer a selection of quality playthings and expert advice that only a local, family-owned business can provide. We stock today’s finest toys and books, while embracing the classic toys you remember from your childhood.  

Our online catalog is a small sample of what we stock in our store. We look forward to helping you choose toys that will play with your imagination!

Warmly,

Margaret Warner and The Toy Store family
