Pinwheels Toys & Games — Local services in Glastonbury

For the second time I was with a child waiting for them to open on a Saturday. As anyone knows, a child waiting for the toy store to open is a sweet and magical sight. Both times my young friend practically had his nose pressed to the window in anticipation. Both times the worker unlocked the door quietly and walked away without opening the door and greeting their excited visitor. Now that this has happened twice I am sharing this story. They should have opened the door and said something like, “Hello. Welcome! You are our first customer of the day!

There are legos, plenty of Pokémon cards, tons of plush toys, children's books, and a baby section. I love the store and hope you buy from it rather than fake toy stores. "The best toy store in...
