Trouble Comes to Toy Land
May 29 2000 12:00 AM PDT
PROFILE |
 |
A toy store without Barbie or Pokémon isn't crazy -- it's Zany Brainy. The retailer of educational, nonviolent, and gender-neutral toys, with more than 180 stores in 34 states, offers items not generally advertised on Saturday morning TV. Kids are encouraged to play with the toys, which include games, puzzles, books, cassettes, videos, arts and crafts, trains, computer software, electronic learning aids, musical instruments, science toys, plush dolls, sports-themed toys, and software and hardware for video games. Zany Brainy gained 60 stores with its July 2000 purchase of rival Noodle Kidoodle. It has since filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and investment firm Waterton Management has offered to buy the company.
