Learning Express Wins Best of Tampa Bay

Best Toy Store in Tampa Bay

The September 2007 issue of Tampa Bay Parenting found Learning Express to be the best toy store in the Tampa Bay area. Learning Express is a specialty toy store.

As the leader of the specialty toy and children's gift category, Learning Express provides a fun and friendly stopping environment, with a knowledgeable sales staff providing excellent customer service and expert advice to parents looking for that perfect toy.

Grand Opening Award

July 27, 2007, BOCA RATION: At the annual convention of over 100 Learning Express franchises, the Learning Express at Westchase was awarded "Most Successful Grand Opening 2007". Learning Express Corporate wrote:

In March of this year, best friends Denise Moore and Lisa Hopen opened a Learning Express in Tampa,
Westchase. Their grand opening began with an invitation-only sneak peak shopping night with proceeds
benefiting a local charity.

Elmo and the Easter Bunny paid a visit the weekend of the grand opening. Additionally, they were able to
generate a tremendous amount of local publicity, including TV coverage at their Grand Opening. They are
truly team players who have embraced all that makes Learning Express unique and have worked diligently in spreading the word.

We Look Forward to Hearing from You!
