Small business owners in Calgary have a new opportunity to showcase their products and services at the Bridgeland Toy Shop. Located in the vibrant community of Bridgeland, this shop is a hub for local entrepreneurs to connect with customers and grow their businesses.
The Bridgeland Toy Shop, which opened its doors in early 2021, is a unique concept that combines a traditional toy store with a marketplace for small businesses. The shop features a wide range of toys for children of all ages, as well as a section dedicated to products from local small businesses.
According to the shop’s owner, Sarah Johnson, the idea for the marketplace came from her own experience as a small business owner. “I know how challenging it can be for small businesses to find a physical space to sell their products,” she explains. “I wanted to create a space where they could showcase their products and reach a wider audience.”
The shop currently features products from over 20 local small businesses, including handmade jewelry, clothing, home decor, and more. Each business has their own designated space within the shop, allowing them to personalize their displays and connect with customers.

Lee, who sells handmade children’s clothing, says that being a part of the marketplace has helped her reach a larger customer base. “I’ve seen a significant increase in sales since joining the shop,” she shares. “It’s been a great opportunity to showcase my products and connect with other small business owners.”
In addition to providing a platform for small businesses, the Bridgeland Toy Shop also offers workshops and events for children and families. From arts and crafts to storytime sessions, these activities add to the shop’s welcoming and community-focused atmosphere.
The shop has received positive feedback from both customers and small business owners since its opening. Many have praised the concept and the variety of products available. “It’s great to see a shop that supports local businesses and offers unique products,” says customer Lisa Chen. “I love coming here with my kids and supporting small businesses at the same time.”
