OKEMOS, Mich. - Specialty toy retailer, Brilliant Sky Toys & Books has opened its newest franchise, in Austin, Texas.
The 3,125 square-foot store, located in the Village at Westlake shopping center, features Brilliant Sky's distinguishing aesthetic of vibrant, warm colors, unique artwork and low sightlines, designed to encourage children to imagine and explore. Families in the Austin area will also be able to take part in various complimentary activities offered at the store, such as craft workshops, special play days and story hours with guest storytellers and musicians.
The location is owned by Matt and Maya Pomroy, long-time Austin residents and parents to a young daughter.
