It’s easy to see how the store has prospered, as Leslie’s motivated personality and business savvy was very apparent in our conversation. Leslie and her mom took over the store in 1999, and it has been going strong ever since, although her mom isn’t involved any more. When he was entering 1 st grade, Leslie’s mother found a listing for a toy store business coincidentally being sold by a mother and daughter team. She was with American Express when her son was born, but decided to leave the corporate world to spend more time with her baby. She had worked in retail since her college days (when she also studied retail business), completing a manager’s training course at Macy’s corporate and then going on to work for Niemen Marcus in women’s ready to wear. Leslie’s coming to own a Toy Store doesn’t seem unusual, taking into consideration her professional background. I had a great conversation with Leslie, who gave me some interesting insight on what it takes to run a toy store, gender issues in toys, and the importance of knowing your customers and market. The store owner, Leslie always calls us when she organizes an event, and since it’s just a hop, skip and a jump down the freeway, we always are happy to join!
