Taylor and his store are not only well-known around the town and in the south, but also world wide, after all, it is the ‘coolest toy store on the planet’. O.P.

Taylor’s among some of the most eminent toy stores in the world, such as, FAO Schwarz, Hamleys, and The American Girl Place.

We are pleased to announce that Flying Circus Toys in Albertville, MN is our Store of the Month for January!  Bart, from our sales team, nominated this store because of their dedication to the local community and their passion for creating fun times with their customers.

Only two years old, Flying Circus Toys has made a name for itself at the Albertville Premium Outlets.  Having been voted one of the Top 10 Specialty Toy Stores in Minnesota, Flying Circus Toys has become a destination for shoppers around the world.

Walking into Flying Circus Toys, the little kid will light up in everyone from being surrounded by bright colors and toys galore.  But how did this marvelous toy store come about?  Jessica, the store owner, started in specialty toys over 20 years ago, attending toy trade shows with her sister-in-law.  Having worked as a buyer, she was inspired to start a specialty toy store closer to home and family.

Family ties are an important influence at Flying Circus Toys, even in its unique name.  To many customers, the name means a great toy and a great time, but to Jessica and her family it means much more.  Jessica’s grandmother was the name’s inspiration, being that she was a part of the Ringling Bros. Circus!

When visiting “the GREATEST toy store on Earth!” new customers will learn and returning friends know that they will always be given a wonderful experience while shopping.  The staff’s number one priority is to make sure that each customer has a valuable experience. Whether or not someone leaves the store having purchased a game, they will leave with a smile on their face.

The Flying Circus team takes pride in helping their customers choose the perfect gift or game.  One of their favorites to give and play is our very own Fastrack!  Being that it is a short game that can be explained quickly, it is an easy sell to customers.  On top of that, Fastrack can be played by all ages, which, according to Jessica, is this year’s trend—games that the whole family can enjoy together no matter their ages.

If you are one of the seven million visitors to go to Albertville Premium Outlets this year, I am sure you will find yourself happily entering the world of Flying Circus Toys and leaving with a smile and a wonderful game!
