Did Ya Know?

Did ya know that Durango Toy Depot belongs to the
 Durango Chamber of Commerce, Local First and the American Specialty Retailers Association (ASTRA)?

It's all about the neighborhood, local people owning and operating local stores. 
What is ASTRA? 
The American Specialty Toy Retailing Association (ASTRA) is a non-profit association that provides leadership and resources to grow the specialty toy industry.   It is the largest association serving the specialty toy industry.
ASTRA members build their businesses around specialty toys, which generally are designed with a focus on what the child can do, rather than what the toy can do.  In other words, our members’ products are about the features of the play more than the features of the toy. 
Our more than 1400 members include:
  • Locally-owned independent toy and children’s products retailers
  • Specialty toy manufacturers
  • Manufacturer’s representatives
  • Industry affiliates
  • Suppliers and service providers
  • Book stores
  • School Supply stores
  • Gift stores
We're connected to toy store owners all over the country and resources galore so that we may explore, discuss, and bring the best of the best to our neighborhood!
