Bean Head Toys has turned over its keys to regional toy store chain Brilliant Sky Toys & Books. Seven years ago, original proprietor Chris Lowe opened Bean Head Toys in Sandy Springs, Ga., with a second store popping up several years later, in the Buckhead district of Atlanta.
The stores hosted weekly community events, such as story times, art classes, and Elf Magic gatherings during the Christmas season.
Brilliant Sky Toys & Books currently has 17 stores located across the country, including two stores in Atlanta. “We look forward to serving Bean Head Toys’ customers as we share many of the same core values for toy retail as this wonderful Atlanta institution,” says Brilliant Sky Toys & Books owner Baxter Lee.
All customer rewards earned by Bean Head shoppers will be honored. The Sandy Springs store is currently closed for remodeling, but will re-open with a grand opening on September 6.
