I own a brick-and-mortar toy store and children's studio in Connecticut, USA. We sell high-quality thoughtfully curated toys, gifts, books, art supplies, etc. We also have a Studio where we hold Music and Sensory/Art classes for ages 0-5.
I started a children's retail and studio store with zero outside funding and zero business plan. It's true! I'll tell you how I did it, and what I've learned along the way.
