Child’s Play Toys to add second location

Aug. 30, 2019

Downtown retailer Child’s Play Toys is expanding with a second Sioux Falls store.

Owner Nancy Savage has leased space in a new building at Lake Lorraine that includes furniture store Moe’s and A Perfect 10 Nail & Beauty Bar.

She said she has wanted to add a second store for years and looked at everything from Fargo to The Empire Mall, where she had leased seasonal space during the holidays. When Toys R Us closed, her business picked up enough that it made even more sense, she said.

Another big announcement sealed her interest in Lake Lorraine.

“The day I found out Dave & Buster’s was opening, I gave them a call and said, ‘Let’s move forward with this.’ And with the hotels around there, I feel like for visitors to town it will be great, and being on the interstate with signage on both sides will be a huge draw.”

It will be smaller than the downtown store and will focus on toys, books and candy.

“So we won’t do clothing because there’s not enough room,” Savage said. “But I’m just excited for the opportunity to be in that type of environment.”

Her hope is to open in November.
