I love Grand Haven. It is a fabulous small town. We are supported by locals all year round. They choose to support the stores down here, and that’s amazing.

“MACkite started in Mackinaw City in 1981. We only sold kites, but when we moved down here to Chinook Pier in 1986, we started selling toys as well and we’ve been in this location or 27 years.
Kites are just cool. They’re always…*ahem*…uplifting. You can’t fly a kite and be unhappy.
I love being “the toy store”. There are only two kid-focused stores in town—us and Pink Lemonade–-so we have an important part to play. Kids learn through play and we believe that firmly.”


“Our goal is to have something for everyone. And we do. From science kits to lovely little dolls—we want to be a place where everybody can come and find something fun, because fun is so important. “Where the fun begins” is our tagline, so we try hard to give everyone who comes in the door an experience—things to try out, to touch and squeeze and race. We have great relationships with our customers. There are certain ones that I’ll just call up and say, “Hey, I got this cool new thing you need to come see.”
I love Grand Haven. It is a fabulous small town. We are supported by locals all year round. They choose to support the stores down here, and that’s amazing.”
