Last week I was invited to check out a new store in the area called Marbles:  The Brain Store.  Marbles:  The Brain Store has been around since 2008 and they first got their start selling their products out of a kiosk.  The folk at The Brain Store like to give their customers an experience and the ability to actually play with the products a little bit, so they quickly expanded to several stores in the Chicago area.  Now there are stores in New Jersey, Maryland, Minnesota and now Massachusetts!

I went to the store located in the Northshore Mall in Peabody, but they also opened up stores in Natick and Braintree.  As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by Lindsay Gaskins, President and CEO of Marbles:  The Brain Store.  I got a chance to speak with her a little bit and she explained how their products can help boost creativity, improve focus and  just plain excersise your brain. 

I walked around the store and was really impressed with what I saw. 

I really liked that they had all their games open, so that you can really get a sense of what you’re buying.  It’s such a bummer to buy something, get it home and not be happy.  Marbles:  The Brain Store elimates that headache completely by giving their customers the chance to check out what they’re buying.

I even had a chance to meet Albert, their mascot, who was at the store in celebration of their grand opening weekend:

Marbles:  The Brain Store has books, toys, puzzles and games that are appropriate for all age levels - from young children well into maturity.  If you have any questions while you’re in the store, just ask one of their “brain coaches” and they’ll be able to help you.  I spoke with three different brain coaches during my visit and they were all highly familiar with all the products and were truly helpful.

I purchased a few things for my children while I was there and can’t wait to get my husband back there to check it out.
