JANESVILLE, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Blain’s Farm & Fleet is excited to announce the opening of Toyland on Saturday, October 12, 2024, at 7 a.m. with door-busting deals and promotions.
Since 1957, Toyland has been a cherished family tradition, marking the unofficial kickoff to the holiday shopping season. Co-founder Bert Blain’s famous words— “Toyland is about making friends, not making money”—remain central to the company’s mission of helping families create magical holiday experiences by providing affordable gifts for all.
“Bert believed that every child deserves a Merry Christmas, and 67 years later, our tradition of bringing happiness to our communities continues,” said Mark Hasting, Chief Executive Officer and President of Blain’s Farm & Fleet. “I invite everyone to come to our stores and experience the joy of Toyland for themselves—I’m confident you'll be surprised and delighted.”
This year’s Toyland Super Weekend begins on Saturday, October 12, and runs through Sunday, October 13, with exciting deals and promotions. Blain’s Rewards Members will receive a $5 gift card for every $50 Toyland purchase made in-store, and everyone has a chance to win a $250 gift card at each store during opening weekend. The first 100 customers on October 12 will receive a free 5” Blain’s Truck and Scratch-off Discount Cards for additional savings.
Blain’s Farm & Fleet offers a wide selection of toys to spark joy for every child this holiday season. Shoppers will find everything from ride-on toys, remote-control vehicles, games, puzzles, dolls and action figures to building blocks, arts and crafts, dress-up play, outdoor toys and much more. Popular brands such as LEGO, Nerf, Barbie, Ty, Disney, Hot Wheels, Melissa & Doug, Fisher-Price, Play-Doh, Crayola, Franklin, Radio Flyer, John Deere, Smithsonian, Hasbro, Breyer, LOL Surprise! and ERTL are featured, ensuring something for everyone’s wishlist.
“We’re seeing some inspiring toy trends this year,” said Lindsay Heffron, Toy Buyer at Blain’s Farm & Fleet. “Plush toys like Squishmallows, higher-end Lego sets, and Lego Botanicals are huge. And for toddlers, we’re excited to introduce Ms. Rachel toys, which will surely be a hit.”
Elizabeth Wanzer, another Toy Buyer at Blain’s Farm & Fleet, added, “The Ms. Rachel Speaking Doll is going to be a big seller this year, along with fun games like ‘What Do You Meme.’ There’s something for every age and interest.”
