By |

For today’s Q&A with a local business during this holiday shopping season, we hear from Annie Hedrick of New Canaan Toy Store on Park Street. 

Here’s our exchange. New Canaanite: You were able to complete a major renovation at New Canaan Toy Store in September. What’s the response been like from customers? Annie Hedrick: The response has been fantastic! We get compliments all day long—even from kids—who tell us how amazing it looks and how much easier it is to shop.

‘We Can’t Wait’: New Canaan Toy Store To Reopen This Month After Renovation

By |

The New Canaan Toy Store is set to reopen soon following a major renovation that will see the popular Park Street shop brighter and easier to navigate, its owners say. Closed since the end of July, the Toy Store will reopen within the next week, according to Annie Hedrick, who co-owns the business with her brother, Nathan Shapiro. “We can’t wait to see everybody, we can’t wait to welcome everybody back,” Hedrick told NewCanaanite.com. “All the familiar faces will be there, Suzie and Maria, and it will be better than ever. You’ll be able to see the toys and move around better, and we made more space by getting rid of an office area to make more room for books and toys.
