HOLMDEL – Learning Express Toys, the nation’s largest educational toy retailer, will hold a ribbon-cutting celebration at 11 a.m. Friday, Dec. 5 at its newest franchise followed by a weekend full of activities, character visits, and 20 percent off storewide sales.
A resident of Staten Island, owner Jennifer Schanker was drawn to Holmdel by the unique character and charm of the town and the picturesque beauty of its parks. She believes the family-oriented atmosphere is perfect for a neighborhood toy store and looks forward to her shop becoming a space in which community members come together to enjoy special in-store activities and events.
“I am eager to embark on this new endeavor and build a positive environment for my family as well as the families of this community,” said Schanker. She credits her children with inspiring her to open her store. “I strive to give my son and daughter the tools they need to succeed. I hope to be able to do the same for the children of this community by making my store a resource for their parents.” Schanker has created a safe place for children to have fun while providing parents with a stress-free shopping environment, a unique product mix, and expert customer services such as free gift wrapping, complimentary personalization, and a “birthday box” gift registry.
