Idea successful for Toys 4-less Who loves the twinkle in a child's eye more than Grandma? No one! In the beginning, all Winegar Warehouse Supermarkets put in an aisle of toys for Christmas only. Soon the season was over, and the remaining toys were packed away until another year. "We need something for the i children," Evelyn Winegar en-; en-; couraged the board of directors, of c which she is a member. They were j discussing the problem of offering . competitive prices when their toys . purchases were made locally and only seasonally. "What we need is a year-round toy store," she suggested. That possibility was discussed. Evelyn suggested that with her help, her daughter Sally could manage the store. The board offered their support, sup-port, and Evelyn was elated. Sally's husband, Phil Barber, and her four brothers, Dirk, Rock, Bill and Dee, were directors over the four Winegar stores. Since she was raised in a family, whose business -was grocery stores, she had a lot of experience in business management. manage-ment. Soon she caught Evelyn's enthusiasm, en-thusiasm, and the decision was made to open a toy store. The first toy store, called Toys 4-Less, 4-Less, was opened in Centerville, on Pages Lane. It offered personal service, ser-vice, free gift wrap and lay-away. Soon the store had outgrown its space, and more space was allotted in the building complex in which it was located. The storage was moved mov-ed into Winegar's complex on South Orchard Drive by the Doll House, a beauty salon. After some time that storage area was opened up into the second toy store, also titled. Toys 4-Less. At this time Sally moved into the new store; and her daughter, Jeri Eggett, was chosen to manage the first toy store. Evelyn and her husband, Stuart, by now have relocated in St. George. They visit Bountiful often and still serve on the board of directors. direc-tors. To Evelyn's delight the toy stores are doing well. The children visit and study the huge, wondrous selection selec-tion of beautiful toys. The parents and grandparents visit and purchase favorites for all special occasions, when they must have something "special" for the children. |
