\"university<\/a>\u201cOur goal with this Learning Express Toys location is to provide a memorable shopping experience with toys that encourage creativity and learning, foster developmental growth, and promote fun,\u201d says Chris.<\/p>\n

A graphic designer by trade for the past 14 years, Chris often dreamed of owning a business with his wife. Pam has significant retail and banking experience and previously worked at the LE Toys of University Park. When that location was put up for sale by a two-store franchisee, Chris and Pam knew it was a perfect fit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe neighboring businesses are wonderful,\u201d says Pam. \u201cThis location is becoming a great shopping resource for the community and is seen as a destination!\u201d\u00a0 With Five Guys Burgers, Nordstrom\u2019s Rack, LA Fitness, BJ\u2019s Wholesale, and Marshalls\u2014to name only a few\u2014in the complex, it\u2019s easy to see why customers are flocking to this spot.<\/p>\n

In addition to the relevant professional experience that Chris and Pam bring to Learning Express Toys, they also have five children and four grandchildren with a fifth grandchild due in August. \u201cWe\u2019ve purchased a lot of toys over the years,\u201d says Chris. As a child, Chris enjoyed toys that required imagination and building, and Pam liked dolls and everything that allowed her to express her nurturing side. Their interests and talents are an excellent combination for toy store owners! We are thrilled to welcome them into the Learning Express Toys family.<\/p>\n
