Spanning over 5,000 square feet, it’ll offer games, puzzles, and crafts for kids — a throwback to the beloved brand that shuttered nationwide in 2018. This marks the second wave of their revival strategy, following holiday pop-ups in 2025, and aims to recapture family-friendly magic. Bridge Street officials are excited, calling it a major draw for shoppers and locals alike. No official date yet, but fans of the brand should keep an eye out — this could be the start of something sweetly familiar.
