Replay Toys Boutique is a sustainability-minded neighborhood toy store in North Park, San Diego. Kim, the owner, started Replay Toys by selling and trading her children’s toys, books, and clothes at local swap meets to prevent these well-loved items from going into landfills.
Over the past 7 years, Replay Toys has now grown from a one-woman operation to a brick-and-mortar with multiple employees.
Their mission to uphold sustainability has been preserved: their shelves are made of repurposed materials, goods can be traded for store credit, and as always, most of the toys are gently used.
Replay Toys is committed not only to sustainable shopping, but sustainable community. Take it from Terra, a customer-turned-employee. Having worked at Replay Toys for the past two years, through the pandemic, Terra and her family have not only stayed afloat, but have become real parts of Kim’s own family.
