WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUTQuite simply. we LOVE toys! Remember that favorite toy store from your childhood (most of us have one or two - mine was "Mr. Big's Toyland" and "Irving's Toys and Cards" in the Boston area) and how you felt visiting it with your parents or grandparents? Well, our goal is to help you recreate those memories and help your child create memories of their own! With this basic premise, we strive to reboot the retail toy business by actually mixing the best of the toy stores of yesteryear with the service, convenience and cool selection of toys we know you're looking for!So, please come, browse either of our stores (online and in West Chester) and find cool, unique toys with cool, unique people helping you find them!OUR HISTORYAlthough the name "Monkey Fish Toys" was born in 2013, the team behind the name has been in the toy business for over 15 years! Here's a brief company history: 2001 - We started the business as The Collectors Depot, LLC, selling collectible toys on-line. 2005 - we changed our operating name to Bull Market Toys, since people seemed to think The Collectors Depot was a bill-collection agency! 2010 - We opened our first retail store, Bull Market Toys, in the Eagleview section of Downingtown, PA, expanding our selection to include more than just collectible toys. 2013 - Bursting at the seams in our little store, we moved to a space three times the size in Exton, PA, and renamed the store "Monkey Fish Toys"! (Bull Market Toys seemed to never click with customers - nobody ever accused us of being marketing geniuses!). 2014 - We liked our store in Exton so much, we decided to open a bit larger store in West Chester! 2017 - We've moved the Exton store to Chester Springs,, PA.Ok, so let's answer the question everyone asks: how did we come up with the name "Monkey Fish Toys"? Well, one of the owners asked his daughter, four-years-old at the time, what would be a cool name or mascot for the toy store - she, for some reason, blurted out "monkey fish" (perhaps they talked about monkey fish in school that day!)... The name stuck because whenever anyone hears it they can't help but smile or giggle... the rest is history!
