With our change of name comes a new local for getting all our toy updates. Come find us at Nico & Lily Toys to see pictures of the new store as we set up, updates on toys as they begin to arrive, and special events as we plan them.
First up…our grand opening date is set! Become a fan now & find out now!
and plugging along, really. Though Nico & Zoe has closed, I have been working hard to get that new store up & open to offer the same great handmade toys, and before the holidays loom any closer.
So, what’s the hold up? Well, originally, I was just going to turn around & start up online with a new website, when, of course, a opportunity I just couldn’t pass up came my way.
My local friends are pretty familiar with Swanky Babies. It’s a children’s clothing boutique that has really breathed some life into the small, boutique feel of downtown Kennewick this past year. Got to love small biz success! And with that success, Swanky Babies moved across the street from its previous location to a bigger store & expanded inventory to strollers, furniture, a great, high quality selection of kid gear.
So, what’s that have to do with me? Well, a nice, little storefront is vacant…and I’m moving in! What better opportunity than to place myself on the same block as a store I know I already like & send my friends to, right?
Now, no worries here. We aren’t competitors. We actually refer folks to each other already. Now, it will simply be a walk across the street to get to one another.
What’s this all mean? The paperwork is in the works now & should be all finalized this week. Keys on the 15th, and open…well, I’m shooting for October.
Our new location will carry the same great selection of local, US & European made toys we’ve always loved – plush animals, wooden trucks, baby teethers, arts & crafts.
What will be different is the space. Within the store, we will have a children’s play area open to keep the kids entertained while parents shop, plus a separate, affordable rental birthday party space for those fall & winter birthdays that always get stuck indoors.
So, I apologize for the hold up but hope you are as excited as I am by these new changes. Keep your eyes & ears open as the updates will be coming…and not so long between them from now on!
-Stacy, owner of Nico & Lily Toys. Woo hoo!
