Meanwhile, a bit west on Wilshire Blvd., Miracle Mile Toys and Games is also celebrating Neighborhood Toy Store Day…with a special magic show and other events. The store opens at 9 a.m., and will be previewing its new holiday selections, including Bruder trucks, Eeboo and Blue Orange Games, Learning Resources, Elenco electronics, and more.
The 45-minute magic show, with Alan Rich, starts at 11 a.m., and will be suitable for even the youngest customers. Show attendees will receive a coupon for items in the store’s new magic collections, and everyone who stops by at any time during the day will receive a 20% off store coupon, a free balloon and free goodie bag.
Also, for those concerned about construction in the area, note that the store also now has valet parking available across the street. Pull up directly across from 5363 Wilshire to RVM Salons. Miracle Mile Toys and Games will reimburse you for your valet ticket (just $3) with a discount on your purchase.
