Tic Tac Toys 4325 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, NC 27612

"Great staff and products to offer! I'd like to spotlight this rude KAREN (a customer) gave the cashier heck and talked to her in a very demeaning tone as if she knew more than the staff for an item she had no receipt (they only allowed exchanges) then reluctantly agreed to an exchange when that's when she walked away. BEFORE THIS, we asked if she was in line (she was allowing people to go in front of her, as if there was another line in front of her) and she rudely stuck her nose in the air and coldly said, "YES! WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?" Ooooh lady! You best be glad I was in a great mood today. It looks like you don't understand how lines work... since you're allowing people in front of you while you're on your phone."

"Let me just say this, first! I am obsessed with this store!!! The first time I went to Tic Tac Toys was in 2020 because I saw a human sized giraffe and had to buy it. I named her Gloria. Since 2020, I have been able to see the store owners grow their family-owned toy empire throughout their two stores in NC. (Crabtree Valley Mall and Southpoint) I cannot say enough good things about the store or its owners. They go above and beyond to provide educational toys and trinkets to people of all ages. Melanie (one of the owners) talks to me consistently about how her goal is to enrich the minds of all ages by offering options of non-electronic entertainment that teaches the customer something new rather than providing a shortcut. And I value that as I am someone who is curious about EVERYTHING. An update on Gloria: I have had Gloria now for three years and she has had four kids (Brooks, Juniper, Jordan and Jamie). Although she is currently a single mother, she will someday have a husband named William."

"Great store. It’s located in the old Disney store. It is really the only option of toy store in town compared to the big box target or walmart. Great selection of toys and it’s stocked. Has plenty of plush toys, arts and crafts toys and kites. My nephew and niece loved the store will come again with them in the future when they visit."

"My family is huge into games, from card to board to video. So we are always looking for cool game stores and we were all very impressed by this place that we found by accident. It had a good selection of games, including one we have been looking for everywhere (we always try to buy from stores and not online)! They also had a ton of more common games - including about 20 different flavors of Monopoly - as well as a lot of toys, puzzles, stuffed animals and some exceptional backpacks for us older geeks."
