Local Holiday Shopping: The Toy Chest [Q&A]

By |

For this installment of our holiday shopping series, we stopped into The Toy Chest at 101 Main St. on Monday afternoon and talked to Carlos Sedeno, a co-owner. 

Here’s our interview. ***

New Canaanite: How has it been here this holiday shopping season? 

Carlos Sedeno: We cannot complain. It’s just enough to keep up—it’s not like other years, but we’re still here. We tend to all these good customers, they’re supportive of the town, they shop local. 

And what kind of things are people interested in buying, generally? 

They’re asking for puzzles, games.

Carlos Sedeno: We’ve been here over 25 years. We’ve been in this town. Yes.
