Molly has been redoing the Playmobil aisle for the past couple weeks. (Huge Project) It’s now done. The boxes are now organized by series and labeled so it’s easier to locate. She has found and stocked a lot of pieces that were in the warehouse and not on the sales floor. If you’re looking for an older series or piece to complete one, we may have it. Stop by and see all the Playmobil she found. All Playmobil 20% list price.

We would like to wish Ed and his wife Lynn a wonderful and restful vacation.

Ed deserves it after managing the store for the past 6+ months while Tony has been out on medical leave. We’d also like to thank him for taking the initiative to clean up the store and asking for our help as well as ideas to create a better environment for you. The aisles are clear, merchandise restocked, and organized.
We also worked on the exterior of the building, especially John with the tree trimming.

Here's the details for the Big Boy stop in West Chicago

Something big is rolling into town… really big. The City of West Chicago is excited to share that Union Pacific Railroad's legendary Big Boy No. 4014, one of the largest steam locomotives ever built, will make a stop right here in West Chicago as part of its 2026 coast-to-coast tour. That's right....
