In his constant search for Nostalgia, Nick Bartley visited the closest thing to a Hills Department Store…
Remixxd by Steel City Galleries
The latest episode of Hunting Nostalgia had Bartley experiencing something that we hear at ToyStoreGuide believe is an integral part of why people visit Toy Stores. The Retailtainment aspect. The idea that our local Toy Stores are more than just a place to buy toys, they are a place where we can experience that nostalgic feeling. Anyone can order a toy or collectible online or at a big box store, but when you visit an independent shop you will also enjoy a level of entertainment during your shopping experience.
Remixxd by Steel City Galleries in Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania, built their retail location with this ideal at its forefront. After years as a successful web business they learned ways to stand out.
When they opened a brick and mortar location they decided to give it the heart and feel of the retail stores of last generation. More specifically they wanted to harness the vibes of Hills Department Stores. Complete with Pop Corn!
With so many ties to Hills you know it wasn’t long before Nick packed up his Hills buggy and visited Remixxd to see what made it so special.
Spoiler Alert: It’s the people.
