The details
Learning Express Toys & Gifts sells educational items for every stage of child development from newborns to 11-year-olds and up. Toys include baby dolls, activity tables, coloring sets, sports games, scooters and more.
The Rice Village shop will be owned by Meg Sides, a Learning Express Toys franchisee who owns additional locations in Houston and North Carolina.
“We are beyond excited to bring Learning Express Toys to Rice Village and to continue the legacy of this location as a go-to destination for quality toys and gifts,” Sides said. “I am beyond excited to meet the children and families of this special community and provide fun prizes and experiences.”
Learning Express Toys will replace the former Fundamentally Toys space on Rice Boulevard and will also provide free gift wrapping and birthday registry.
