TRUSSVILLE, Ala. ( WIAT ) — Hattie’s Toyland opened in Trussville in August. The owners say business has been good so far, and they expect to see a lot of people this week.
The toy store sells just about everything you can imagine, but it’s also in another business – the business of spreading hope.
Kelsee Philpot and her husband Taylor are the proud owners of Hattie’s Toyland. The store is any child’s dream, filled with toys and games from all over the world.
“My husband and I say all the time, we were expecting kids to come in and be excited. One thing we did not expect was how excited the adults are when they find what they are looking for,” Kelsee Philpot said.
The walls say Hattie’s Toyland is a magic place. What they don’t say is that the toy store is helping to heal the Philpot family.
“In 2020 I had a daughter that was stillborn. Her name is Hattie,” said Kelsee Philpot.
“We really get to take something and allow her life to have purpose here in the store,” Taylor Philpot added.
