“I am so honored be recognized for this award,” Key said. “Constant innovation is a cornerstone of our business model, and it takes a lot of energy to sustain the cycle of trial and failure required to imagine new ways of doing business. My team and I pour our hearts and souls into this store, and having our efforts recognized means the world. We hope that recognition on this scale will bring in a whole new batch of customers looking to embrace the true power of play.“
