Relocating from Edmonton five years ago, Justin and his wife Nicole feel Las Vegas has so much to offer in growing their business and raising their two children. “It has been a six-year goal to expand and open The Toy Box in Las Vegas,” says Justin. “After 20 years of success in Canada, we chose to broaden our reach to Las Vegas because of its diverse business climate and strong sense of community,” he added.

The Archbolds will continue to maintain their original store in Edmonton, but will focus on growing the new Las Vegas location with a key initiative of community involvement. Reaching out to the people they serve, The Toy Box plans to hold special themed holiday and character events, autograph sessions by special guests, costume theme nights and fundraising events for local schools and other non-profits.
