About this episode
Bruce and Mira Brach opened Toy Utopia, an independent toy store, on May 27, 2022. Based in Red Bank, NJ, their aim was to create a "magical place that sparks interest, curiosity, imagination and creativity in children and adults."
The business is a leap for both of them. Bruce had managed a landscaping business for over 25 years. Mira was – and still is – a registered nurse.
A lifelong collector of vintage toys, Bruce was ready to exit his company. Mira asked him, "What do your really want to do next?" Bruce's response…open a toy store. And that's what they did together.
