The locally-owned shop at 27 E Pine St. sells a variety of toys and offers services that include gift wrapping, board game rentals, classes for kids, Santa’s mailbox and more.

“The retail landscape is experiencing incredible change with all the online shopping available today and we have just become less relevant,” Bracken stated in a press release.

A liquidation sale began April 17.

“We’ve had a great run and I want to thank my loyal customers who kept coming back year after year,” Bracken stated. “I’ve loved seeing families grow up.”
