Boing! JPs Toy Shop

Jamaica Plain is a unique community with a strong commitment to diversity and equality, which is exactly why Kim Mitchell loves it so much. She loves the neighborhood’s kind and generous sprit, and everything that it stands for.

Kim has lived in Jamaica Plain for nearly 20 years and still does today with her partner, Susan, and their daughter, Riley. They could not imagine raising Riley anywhere else.

Kim hasn’t always been in the toy business. With a degree in finance and an MBA, Kim worked for ten years at Deutsche Bank, a company that employs 70,000 people. But in such a large environment, Kim wasn’t able to feel the direct impact of her work and sensed it was time for a change. She knew that she wanted her next career move to be working within the wonderful JP community.
