FRANCHISE WITH THE GNARLY TOYBOX

Bring The Nostalgia To Your City!

The Gnarly Toybox is expanding — and this is your chance to get in on the ground floor of one of the most totally rad vintage toy and collectibles brands around! What started as one husband-and-wife team's passion for 80s, 90s, and early 2000s toys has grown into a fast-moving, nostalgia-driven business with real momentum. With our original Lakewood, Colorado store already a local legend, plus new locations open at Colorado Mills Mall and Southwest Plaza Mall, we're proving that the Gnarly Toybox model works — and now we're ready to bring it to malls across the United States!

If you've ever dreamed of owning a vintage toy store, a collectibles business, or a retro toy franchise that brings pure childhood joy to every customer who walks through the door, keep reading. This is a gnarly opportunity you don't want to miss.

WHY FRANCHISE WITH THE GNARLY TOYBOX?

The Gnarly Toybox isn't just another toy store — it's a full-blown nostalgia experience. We specialize in rare, unique, and highly sought-after vintage toys and modern collectibles, from Star Wars and Transformers to My Little Pony, Care Bears, Hot Wheels, Power Rangers, and everything in between. Our customers aren't just shoppers, they're collectors, parents, and lifelong toy lovers who come back again and again for that warm-fuzzy trip down memory lane.

As a Gnarly Toybox franchise owner, you get to tap into:

• A proven, beloved brand with a growing footprint across Colorado malls and a loyal, engaged fanbase
• Built-in demand for vintage and collectible toys, a niche market that continues to boom
• Full toy sourcing and inventory support so you're never left wondering what to stock
• Established branding, merchandise, and marketing systems ready to plug into your local market
• Hands-on guidance from the original owners, who built this brand from the ground up on pure passion for the hobby

TWO WAYS TO OWN YOUR OWN GNARLY TOYBOX

We know every entrepreneur's journey looks a little different, so we offer two totally rad paths to franchise ownership. Whichever route you choose, you're joining the Gnarly Toybox family and bringing epic nostalgia to your community!

🧸 PARTNER OWNERSHIP

Want to break into the vintage toy business but don't want to go it alone? Our Partner Program pairs you with The Gnarly Toybox as a co-owner of your store. You bring the local hustle and hands-on energy; we bring our toy-sourcing expertise, brand experience, and ongoing support as your business partner. It's a collaborative, lower-barrier way to open a Gnarly Toybox location in your city, with the Gnarly team invested right alongside you every step of the way.

Great for: first-time business owners, toy collectors who want expert backup, and anyone who wants a true partnership instead of going solo.

🚀 SOLO OWNERSHIP

Ready to run the whole show? Our Solo Franchise Program is for entrepreneurs who want full independent ownership of their own Gnarly Toybox location. You'll get the same access to our branding, toy sourcing network, and franchise playbook — but the store is 100% yours to run and grow on your own terms.

Great for: experienced retail or small business owners, established entrepreneurs, and anyone ready to build their own vintage toy empire under the Gnarly Toybox name.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN YOUR GNARLY TOYBOX FRANCHISE

• Access to our vintage toy and collectibles sourcing network
• Established Gnarly Toybox branding, signage, and merchandise line
• Guidance from Brandon Riks and the original Gnarly Toybox team
• Support setting up your storefront, whether it's a standalone shop or mall location
• A built-in community of toy collectors, nostalgia fans, and repeat customers
• The proven playbook from a brand already thriving at Colorado Mills Mall and Southwest Plaza Mall

READY TO BRING THE GNARLY TOYBOX TO YOUR CITY?

We're building something special — a nationwide destination for anyone who wants to reconnect with the toys of their childhood. Whether you're drawn to the Partner Program or ready to run your own Solo location, this is your chance to turn a love of vintage toys and collectibles into a real, growing business.
