Who it fits
Ideal candidate
Few of our franchisees have any retail experience prior to joining the system. We can teach people the mechanics of operating a toy store. The ideal candidate needs to have a sincere enthusiasm for working with people and wanting to be part of the community. They need to have the energy and desire to run in-store events and activities and to market effectively in their area.
