Not sure if too many people on here got the opportunity to go to yoyojoes, but those of you who did remember it as a fantastic store with the best community anyone could ask for. I’m feeling nostalgic about the days when I could go to the club on saturdays and ask A.J for advice on a trick. It’s a shame they had to close. What are your favorite memories? ---

Ahh, the great YoYoJoes. I’ve been there twice and enjoyed it both times. I went once last December, and I also went for their closing party. Great place, wish they were still around. ---

My favorite and least favorite and only memory about yoyojoe’s is when I found out they existed and had an advertisement that their physical store had everything at a substantial discount but their online store was no longer operational (but for some reason still showed a ton of stock) so I emailed them with a huge list of things I saw on their website asking if any of it was still available for purchase in-store, and if so, if I could purchase it via credit card over the phone. Then they never responded. ---

It’s not “vague” to anyone who’s been around for awhile, in fact it’s a bit sad. > **[YoYoJoe’s Toys & Fun Closing In August](https://yoyonews.com/2013/07/10/yoyojoes-closing-in-august/)** > > We’re really bummed to announce that YoYoJoe’s Toys & Fun, one of the few brick-and-mortar retailers in the country that really specializes in and supports the yoyo scene, is closin… ---

I loved YoyoJoes and Mitchell’s before that. I’m still proud to say that I was apart of all that. Lots of yoyo history happened between the two stores on Concord Pike in Wilmington Delaware. ---

That place was great. I used to travel to NJ for work and would stop on my way back to MD to try and buy yo-yos. And on family trips we’d stop and let the kids play on the pirate ship (while I surveyed a certain section of the store). Good place for the kids’ Christmas and birthday gifts. ---
