OCCOQUAN, Va. — An online toy business has grown into a brick and mortar retail operation in Occoquan.
From Past Generation Toys Owner Joshua Kluger:
Past Generation Toys started in 2007 as a way to clear out my ever growing collection of vintage toys. Was a fan of Star Wars since the I saw it in the 70’s and it has been part of my life since.
I started selling on eBay professionally then. After I had sold through most of the vintage, I contacted name brand manufacturers to open accounts.
Now that I was selling vintage and current lines eventually Amazon noticed and invited me to sell on their platform. That changed everything, and the business has grown steadily.
In 2015, I was at the point I wanted to try something new: a retail store. So I researched the area, and after two months I found my spot.
Occoquan is where Past Generation Toys chose to open our first retail store. Why Occoquan? Well, that’s easy: it may be a small town, but it’s big on personality.
Another great part of this community is that it holds events throughout the year that brings people together. In 2016, the town worked with Prince William County and Fairfax Water to develop a new park at the west end of Mill Street – and it’s beautiful.
Past Generation Toys is located at 310 Mill Street in Occoquan. It is open Friday to Sunday noon to 7 p.m.
