ToyTopia to join Nocatee Town Center
A new toy store is coming to Nocatee at the start of 2022.
ToyTopia by Safari Ltd. plans to open its doors next January within Nocatee Town Center. It will be the first “interactive retail store” for toy company Safari Ltd., which specializes in hand-crafted, eco-friendly toys and which recently relocated its headquarters to Jacksonville. The store will sell Safari Ltd.’s toy brands and will host interactive classes as well.
The store will be located within the second phase of Nocatee Town Center, anchored by GreenWise Market. It will be located next to TitanUP Fitness.
