FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 23, 2025
SAINT JOSEPH, MI - Bricks & Minifigs® is the largest franchised toy store of its kind specializing in the buying, selling and trading of new and used LEGO® sets, bulk bricks, and minifigures (“minifigs”). The store will be located at 2047 Niles Road, St. Joseph, MI 49085 and is the first store opened by franchisee Fernanda Pineda, a resident of the Saint Joseph/Stevensville area.
In addition, Bricks & Minifigs will provide an event space for birthday parties or special LEGO® themed events like after-school robotics clubs, “Make-and-Take” events, Brick Derby races, and more. The space will also be available for corporate workshops, mini-retreats, and team-building off-site meetings.
Bricks & Minifigs has built their brand based on three principals:
- REBUILD: with tens-of-thousands of pieces to choose from, customers will have what they need to rebuild their favorite sets or create their own original projects.
- REUSE: Bricks & Minifigs buys, sells, and trades everything LEGO®. And we mean everything!
- REIMAGINE: staff members are trained to assist customers of all ages to create unique and imaginative masterpieces.
“I’m very excited to bring the Bricks & Minifigs experience to the area,” Fernanda Pineda said. “LEGO® is an ageless toy that appeals not only to children, but also to parents, grandparents, and anyone who enjoys creative expression through those little plastic bricks.”
“We’re thrilled to welcome Bricks & Minifigs to the St. Joseph business community,” said Arthur Havlicek, President & CEO of the Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber. “Fernanda’s passion for creativity and connection shines through this new venture, which not only brings a beloved brand to our region but also offers a unique space for families, educators, and businesses to come together. It’s an exciting addition to our growing, family-friendly economy.”
