Summary
Anderson's Toyshop in downtown Naperville will merge back into Anderson's Bookshop (two doors down) in July 2025. The decision follows a recent renovation of the bookshop at 123 W. Jefferson Ave., which included new carpeting, painting, and fixtures. Owner Becky Anderson decided to consolidate the toy inventory back into the bookshop to create a combined shopping experience for parents, bringing toys and books together under one roof.
