Jump through a time portal with me. Close your eyes and imagine you are 8-years-old. You are shopping with your parents, and after going to all the boring stores like Sears and KMart, you finally step into a kid’s paradise. The toy store. Shelf after shelf, for as far as the eye can see, nothing but toys. And you get to slowly walk up every aisle, taking it all in.
That feeling of excitement and wonder can still be experienced as an adult. Did you know that there is an adult version of the toy store? Yes, there really is, and I am going to tell you what store can stir up these same feelings of awe and wonder. I know the suspense is driving you crazy right now…so here it is the office supply store.
