New LEGO store to open in Ammon

AMMON, Idaho (KIFI) - A new store is taking people back in time, to remember the joy of spending a day playing with Legos.

After years of selling insurance, Art Miner along with his wife Gen, are ready to open the first Bricks & Minifigs store in Eastern Idaho.

"One day we were just like we have no more space for Lego," Gen said. "So why don't we sell your Lego in a real store?"

Once both were on board, they reached out to Bricks and Minifigs to go through a lengthy interview process to be approved for the store.

"It's really changed my life." Art said. "It's way better than selling insurance."

The store is located at 3160 East 17th St in Ammon.

Their grand opening is Saturday, Feb. 24, at 9:30 a.m. There will be special prizes and giveaways throughout the day, including a ship-in-a-bottle set which is designed by an Idaho man.

Bricks & Minifigs normal hours of operation will be 10-7 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
