- Maria B.
“It is so nice and refreshing to walk into a store and not get a dirty look when your kid is in the middle of a full blown meltdown. The staff is friendly without being overbearing, which is the only way you can shop with a kid.”
- Jennifer P.
“I cannot believe how great the staff was! I had a diaper emergency there and what I thought to be my worst nightmare, minimax came to the rescue! The staff gave me diapers and wipes and saved my day! Thanks Mini Max!”.
- Sharon L.
“I wish I could get a hair cut at Mini Max Toys and Cuts! My son got his first haircut there and it was great. It was quite the Kodak moment. They gave him a skull and crossbones cape and thomas the train dvd. Needless to say he was in heaven. They even gave me a First Haircut Certificate with a lock of his hair. The whole experience was so sweet.
- Beka K.
