PENARTH
Jacken, a great little toyshop in Penarth
Remember the day when toys captured the imagination? When toy shops had aisles full of wooden toys, skipping ropes, dolls houses and train sets that were well made and which fired the imagination? Well, thanks to Ken and Jackie Pile’s toy shop Jacken on Station Approach, Penarth, you can be transported back to those nostalgic, bygone days.
So what’s Jacken all about?
Jacken is a family run business managed by Ken and Jackie Pile, aided by their children Daniel and Caroline. Their focus is about stocking toys which are kind to the environment and which would feed hungry young minds. They stock toys which develop manual dexterity and hand to eye coordination which are vital when children learn to write. Their toys stimulate a child’s imagination and improve their vocabulary.
What can I find here?
A wide range of learning, educational fun toys including soft animals, puppets, games, puzzles, scientific, cards, books, wooden toys, travel toys and toys involving construction. They also have a wider range of toys which are available on their online website.
What makes Jacken different from other toy shops?
Good free parking close by, a train station within 20 yards of the shop and a husband and wife couple with a vast amount of experience in education, given Ken’s career in the medical technology profession and Jackie’s as a primary teacher.
Good reasons to shop at Jacken
Friendly faces. Knowledgeable shop owners who know their products inside out and are happy to give advice. Jacken is a pleasing, stress free environment where you’ll be made very welcome to spend time choosing gifts – perfect for Christmas.
