A beloved Victoria toy store is looking for a new home after operating out of its downtown location for more than 13 years.
Cherry Bomb Toys is moving from its location along Broad Street near Johnson Street since the building was purchased by a new owner.
"We've been fortunate to have landlords that have enjoyed having an investment, and loving the store in here," said Candice Woodward who owns the shop with her husband, B.The Woodwards live in the apartment above the store.The century-old heritage building houses more than just a toy store, it's also home to the National Toy Museum of Canada.
It was a hidden gem that brought in guests from all over the world, and it took a long time for operators to feel like everything had been set up perfectly, according to B.The owners would like to keep both the tory store and museum together, but time's ticking.The store owners briefly thought they'd secured a new lease about a block away, but the property owner over there also decided to sell the space instead.
