Originally intended as an Auto-Tool store, the founder Darryl Boyer had a heartwarming encounter with his son Mateyko. When Darryl shared his plans for the store, little Mateyko innocently asked, "Is it going to be a toy store?" Determined not to disappoint his son, Darryl decided to incorporate a few toys into the store's offerings. Coincidentally, around the same time, the local toy store had closed its doors, leaving a void in the community for quality toys. Responding to the demand, Toy Sense gradually expanded its toy selection. What started with just a few toys quickly grew into a row, and before they knew it, Toy Sense had expanded to encompass two rows of toys. Today, the original store boasts an impressive size of 4,500 square feet, complemented by a spacious 7,000 square feet warehouse. You can find this thriving toy store at 447 May Street North, adjacent to another establishment called Auto-Tool Sense. Auto-Tool Sense offers a comprehensive range of auto parts, as well as hand and air tools, providing a convenient synergy between these two distinct but complementary businesses. In the summer of 2021, Toy Sense introduced Wildwood Cafe at its 447 May Street North store. The cafe provides a cozy and welcoming atmosphere where visitors can relax and enjoy delicious refreshments amidst their toy shopping experience. From humble beginnings rooted in a father's love for his children, Toy Sense has blossomed into a beloved destination for quality toys, serving the community with dedication and passion.
