Starting a locally owned brick-and-mortar business buying and selling collectible toys seems like a huge risk in any market. But Evansville Toys & Games has been open since 2021 at 3810 E Morgan Avenue, and business is thriving. Owner Daniel Barrett announced another expansion that customers are going to love.

Daniel and his family have recently expanded the shop, providing collectors with more of what they want and a special card section. No matter how busy it gets, Daniel will always say hello and thank everyone for stopping in.

Forever Thankful and Grateful

It’s hard to believe it’s been 9 years since Evansville Toys & Games was born. It was at the Diamond Flea Market and was not called by that name yet. So much has changed since then. Things that have not changed though is how we treat people and how much we appreciate everyone. If you walk in with empty pockets or a million dollars you are treated the same. Coming in to look around and hang out costs nothing. We definitely appreciate it when people do buy items. It keeps us in business, however it’s not the only reason we are open. Seeing the smiles and joy on people’s faces is priceless. Thank you again for keeping our dream alive. Words can not express how much we appreciate you all.

Get Ready for Even More Toys & Games

Just like Earl says, 'Do good things, and good things will happen.' I'm not sure if that is the quote that Daniel lives by, but I can tell you that if anyone deserves good things, it's him and his family. This is great news for customers, too! Next month, Evansville Toys & Games will expand and have another new section. It will be a special clearance section that will be open once or twice a month with specials.

LOOK: How Many of These Classic Summer Toys Do You Remember?

If you grew up in the Wild West of the '60s, '70s, or '80s, summer toys were a lifeline because many of us were locked outside (until the street lights came on). Inside was no place for a kid! Check out these classic summer toys that kept us cool, kept us busy, and always seemed to add a dash of danger.
