Great Turtle Toys now open in Marquette

We’re all kids at heart, right? And some of us aren’t afraid to admit we still like to venture into toy stores and marvel at the newest items available (i.e.: complain that we didn’t have toys like that when we were kids).

Well, there’s a new place for us to go shopping at in Marquette, and with Christmas right around the corner it definitely timed its arrival just right.

Great Turtle Toys, which is headquartered on Mackinac Island, opened up a pop-up toy store at the old Marquette Food Co-op building, located at the intersection of Front Street and Baraga Ave. And if you don’t get downtown very often, you can always visit them at the Westwood Mall in Marquette Township.

There are plenty of toys to choose from, ranging from the traditional yo-yo to remote-controlled cars and more.

The store, which is scheduled to be in Marquette until Christmas Eve with the possibility of staying longer depending on customer response, is owned by Ben Nye. It is open from 10 am. until 8 p.m. daily. The mall’s location is open from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m.
