Our Story

At McManemin Companies, we don’t just sell toys—we bring magic to life! Since 1969, our family-owned business has been at the heart of the children’s product industry, curating an exceptional selection of toys, games, and gifts that spark joy, ignite imagination, and create lasting memories.
Fifty-six years ago, Mary McManemin started McManemin Companies out of the trunk of her car. With passion, perseverance, and a keen eye for quality, she built a business that became a trusted name in the toy industry. Her son, Michael, later took the reins and in 1987 coined our signature phrase, “This is Fun,” a motto that has been at the core of everything we have done ever since. Thirty-one years ago, Laura proudly stepped in to continue the family’s legacy, and to this day, she remains dedicated to carrying on our tradition of excellence, innovation, and—of course—fun!
From timeless classics to the latest innovations, we handpick every product with care, ensuring that each item we represent brings smiles to little faces (and sometimes big ones, too!). Our lineup includes top-tier brands and whether it’s a plush companion for bedtime, an outdoor adventure kit, or a puzzle that challenges young minds, we’ve got something for every child and every moment.
We proudly serve a diverse range of businesses, from charming mom-and-pop shops to mid-sized retailers and key accounts. Our customers include toy stores, gift shops, pharmacies, museums, and specialty stores of all kinds, ensuring that unique, high-quality toys and gifts reach families everywhere. No matter the size of the business, we’re here to provide the best products and exceptional service.
With over five decades of expertise, we blend tradition with innovation, leveraging technology and strong relationships to connect retailers with products that make an impact. Our commitment to ethical practices, outstanding customer service, and a deep love for what we do set us apart.
At McManemin Companies, we believe childhood should be filled with wonder, creativity, and fun—and we’re honored to play a role in making that happen.
Let’s build joy together! #thisisfun
