History

Established in 1999.

Misti and Gary started in business with the opening of the Gator Pit, an indoor family playground, in Park Royal mall in West Vancouver in 1997. In 1999, a party supply store was created in the same mall as the Gator Pit to supply unique party themes for kids. This store evolved from party supply store to toy store over time in order to keep up with their customers’ demands for unique and quality toys. In 2003, Misti and Gary expanded their store and made the switch to carrying toys exclusively and the Toy Jungle was born. Misti and Gary added a second location to the Toy Jungle family in 2006 when they opened the Toy Jungle in Coquitlam Centre. This location closed in July 2012. In July of 2009 the Toybox in Kitsilano joined the growing Toy Jungle family and in August 2012 the newest store in Morgan Crossing, South Surrey opened.

Meet the Business Owner

Misti and Gary M.

Business Owner

Award-​winning retailers Misti and Gary Mussatto are the owners and buyers for three community toy stores in the lower mainland: the Toy Jungle in Park Royal, the Toybox in Kitsilano, and the Toy Jungle in Coquitlam Centre.

The Mussattos are parents who buy from the standpoint of parents. Misti is always looking at the features and benefits of toys while Gary is constantly playing and asking «is it fun?». Their desire is for parents to have fun with their kids using great quality toys. They want to give power back to the parents in choosing toys based on the very special and individual nature of each child (rather than based on advertising). They strive to celebrate the uniqueness of every child with the selection of toys in their stores. Their ultimate message is that we all need to give ourselves permission to play more.
