Our story
About Banana Kidz
A kid-run toy store in Milan, Michigan. Where kids learn, lead, and grow.
Banana Kidz began in Milan, Michigan with a vision shared by three mothers who wanted to help prepare their children and grandchildren for adult life.
Traditional classrooms don’t always teach children how to operate a business, manage inventory, understand profit and loss, provide excellent customer service, maintain a clean workplace, or choose products that attract customers.
That’s where Banana Kidz comes in.
A real store. Real customers. Real lessons — with toys on the shelves and grown-ups nearby for support.
