There's something about those first memories in your local toyshop that leave a lasting impression. I remember the excitement of being let loose among the different games and toys, with shelves bursting with colour and towering above me, neatly lined with Lego, teddy bears, dolls, boardgames and racing car sets.
Toyville in Bedminster has facilitated those magical memories for families for the past six years. The walls of the North Street shop are awash with colour with toys and games that owners Lindsay and Joel Meyer-Nicholas handpick with their team, selling old-time classics and future favourites.
Lindsay and Joel both left their jobs in financial services to set up their own toyshop on North Street. The couple had no real retail experience but felt like the area was calling out for a children's toys and games store.
