  This might be the best toy store I've been to. It's huge and has everything. It has three levels of fantastic items!
  
  The store has entire sections of the store devoted to specific types of toys
  Section for board games
  section for children's books
  section for baby items
  section for trains
  section for playmobile
  section for k'nex
  section for scooters, wagonss, balance bikes, etc
  section for science toys
  section for stuffed animals
  section for outdoor games
  section for oragami
  entire room of sale items
  
  I love that this toy store has books. It seems like a great one stop shopping place for anything related to kids gifts.
  
  Smartest of all, the Toy Store has a registry type system for birthdays. Your child gets a basket, you walk around the store and he/she fills with basket with toys she'd like and then you put it on the birthday basket shelf with his/her name and birthday filled out on a card. You tell friends that he has a birthday basket at The Toy Store. Friends go to the toy store to pick out a gift and they look through your child's basket for something they want to give and then they buy it. Brilliant!

  BEWARE!!!! This company does not pay its employees!!!! Trust me when I say this place deserves a 0 star review!!!! My sister worked for Toyz for two weeks. Then after two weeks the owner told her she would send her her schedule. The owner then strung her along telling her she would text her next week. After two weeks I told my sister to just forget about it. I mean come on at least have the balls to fire someone not string them along. If that wasn’t enough when the pay period came around, no check. My sister tried over and over to get ahold of the owner “Rita” to get her check. After two more weeks I envolved myself and I did my best to politely find out what was going on. I gave them chance after chance to give me or my sister a call. Still nothing or worse the run around, “don’t worry the owner will call you Saturday!!!” Became the employees and the owner of this aweful place go to. Finally, I was able to get ahold of the owner and oh boy wouldn’t you guess the run around again. Mind you, when I finally got ahold of the owner “Rita” it had already been well over 2 months from the last time my sister worked and still no check. Being frustrated I let her know that if we did not come to a solution I would encourage my sister to file a complaint through the work force of Texas. And oh boy the truth finally showed it’s ugly head. The owner “Rita” made up some stupid excuse saying my sister did absolutely nothing when she was working and that in essence she was not going to pay for my sisters two weeks. I reminded her that by law she had to pay my sister and if this was truly the case, why did she not fire my sister the first or second day. Much less string her along for weeks. I also let her know this was poor management on her part and not my sisters fault. To this she completely freaked out on me and started making more things up. It finally ended in her yelling at me and hanging up. So I guess the owner “Rita” can explain this to the Workforce Commison of Texas. I Can’t wait to hear what they think about the whole thing. Good luck Rita!! Again trust me when I say this place deserves 0 stars!!!!!
