CENTERVILLE, Ind. — Meet John Myers, the owner behind Bibbly Boo Toy & Candy Shoppe, a family-focused destination in historic downtown Centerville where playtime, parties, and nostalgia all come together under one roof.
Located at 115 E. Main St., Centerville, Bibbly Boo Toy & Candy Shoppe has quickly become a popular stop for families throughout Wayne County seeking a fun, close-to-home outing. The shop is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Holiday hours may vary.
Designed as more than a typical retail store, Bibbly Boo offers an immersive experience filled with colorful décor, shelves of classic and modern toys, and a wide selection of candy that appeals to both children and adults. Myers envisioned the space as somewhere families could slow down, explore, and enjoy the simple joy of childhood.
One of the store’s signature features is the “Birthday Palace,” a dedicated party space that gives local families a convenient, kid-centered venue for celebrations right in the heart of town. The area allows parents to relax while children enjoy a playful environment designed specifically for birthdays and special occasions.
Another standout feature is the indoor toddler playroom, created as a safe and inclusive space for young children to crawl, climb, and explore regardless of the weather. During regular business hours, families can stop in to let toddlers burn off energy while older siblings browse toys and treats nearby.
Beyond its doors, Bibbly Boo has become part of Centerville’s growing small-business revival. The shop joins other specialty businesses helping to reinvigorate the town’s historic Main Street district. Myers also emphasizes community involvement through toy donations and local collaborations, positioning Bibbly Boo as an active partner in the Wayne County community.
As downtown Centerville continues to grow, Bibbly Boo Toy & Candy Shoppe stands as an example of how locally owned businesses can blend commerce, creativity, and community connection.
