Party City’s Toy City concept is something I’ve been covering for a few months now, and now that the holiday shopping season is truly upon us, it’s time to get serious about toys! With over 50 temporary Toy City pop-up store locations now open throughout the U.S., Party City today unveiled its Black Friday ad and 2018 Top Toys List! There’s familiar picks (including some from The Rock Father’s Holiday Wish Guide™) and some unique ones as well, from Rainbowcorns and robots to Hatchimals, dinosaur slime, Harry Potter, and everything in between. Let’s take a look!
“The creation of our Toy City concept allows us to provide shoppers with an enhanced assortment of top toy brands and characters they’re looking for in another convenient format and engaging setting,” said Jamie Uitdenhowen, Chief Merchandising Officer of Party City. “In addition to the top toys of the season, we will be offering Holiday décor items and a great selection of Holiday sweaters and pajamas for the whole family. We look forward to continuing to serve our customers through this new pilot program and helping to make everyone’s holiday a bit brighter, while raising money for our partners at St. Jude.”
