Tokyo Toybox
Hendersonville NC
After years of success as vendors at gaming and anime conventions, Taylor and Joe—owners of Tokyo Toybox—set out to create a permanent home base for their loyal customers. In 2022, they partnered with HPG to open their first brick-and-mortar location at Blue Ridge Mall in Hendersonville, NC.
The response was overwhelming. Demand quickly outgrew their original storefront, and with the support of HPG’s leasing team, Taylor and Joe expanded into a larger space where they now host weekly events for a thriving community of gamers, anime fans, K-Pop enthusiasts, and snack lovers.
Tokyo Toybox demonstrates how HPG partners with tenants through every stage of growth. Whether opening a first store or scaling into a new market, tenants can count on HPG for the resources and support needed to write their success story.

TENANT SPOTLIGHT
Meet Tokyo Toybox
When Taylor and Joe were ready to take their online success in the gaming and anime community to the next level, Hull Property Group’s American Dream Project helped make it happen. Through this small business initiative, HPG partnered with the owners to open Tokyo Toybox in the Blue Ridge Mall during the holiday season, transforming their dream of a first brick-and-mortar store into reality.
The store’s immediate success in Hendersonville, NC, led to incredible growth. HPG supported their expansion into a larger space, giving Taylor and Joe the room to keep building their community. Today, Tokyo Toybox thrives as a local destination for gamers, anime and K-Pop fans, and anyone looking for a touch of nostalgia (and maybe a few Japanese snacks, too!).
From helping secure the perfect retail space to fostering long-term growth, HPG is proud to have played a part in Tokyo Toybox’s journey from convention booths to a beloved hometown hub.
