Pun's Toy Shop In Bryn Mawr Closing Next Month

BRYN MAWR, PA – A Bryn Mawr staple will soon say goodbye to the area, as Pun's Toy Shop on West Lancaster Avenue is planning to close next month. The toy store has been a go-to place for Main Liners and people from all around to find unique toys for more than 30 years.

"We want you to be the first to know, after owning Pun's since 1996 and being in the specialty toy business for nearly 40 years, Joe Berardoni has decided to retire," the store said in a Facebook post.

In closing, the store is holding an everything-must-go sale, a bittersweet event for fans of the storied toy store.

All items in the store are 30 percent off the ticketed price.

Berardoni told Main Line Media news we was presented an offer on the store that he couldn't refuse and is planning to close June 22 tentatively.

"We'd like to thank you for your faithful patronage and friendship. It has been a pleasure serving you all these years," the store said on Facebook. "We've been fortunate to have terrific customers who appreciate and support small businesses."

One customer who wrote on the store's Facebook page back in February had this to say:

"This is a truly wonderfully toy store. They have all the regular things plus things you have never heard of or thought of. In my family, a present in Puns wrapping or a Puns bag is always exciting."

On Yelp, Pun's has a near perfect rating with customers raving about the store's selection, friendly and helpful staff, great prices, and quaint atmosphere.

Pun's will still be accepting accepting gift cards and credit slips for merchandise to June 5, the store said on Facebook.

Pun's is located at 839 1/2 W. Lancaster Ave., Bryn Mawr.
