Our store design was recently refreshed with new colors, in store signage, customer service area and fixtures. Existing stores have the option to transition to the new elements over a specified period of time. Our brand has evolved over it's 25+ years to a larger footprint which offers a higher level of inventory. Customers are excited to have more opportunities to find treasures for their little ones.
