About Us

Stevenson's Toys & Games was founded in 2001, but its roots go back more than 100 years. Before there was a Stevenson's, there was Lillywhite's, a sporting goods/toy/bicycle store that was started in 1895.

As a boy, Roy's favorite thing to do was go to Lillywhite's and check out their fantastic selection of toys and games.  Years later, when Roy and his wife Polly had their own children and would visit Southampton, they would always take their kids to Lillywhite's. The great selection of unusual toys, the ambience of the historic building, and the personal touch provided by Susan Lillywhite, the third generation owner, made Lillywhite's their favorite toy store.

In 1999, Roy and Polly and family moved to Southampton year round and in 2001, when they heard Susan was thinking of selling the store, they decided it would be fun to buy it and see if they could combine Lillywhite's classic tradition with a fresh, new feel.

In 2017, Stevenson's expanded and opened a second store in East Hampton.  Today, Stevenson's Toys & Games is going strong, having been voted every year by the readers of the local Dan's Papers as one of the Hampton's  'Best of Best Toy Store.'  For Roy and Polly, the greatest compliment is hearing the shouts of “Awesome!” as the kids explore the aisles. They hope they have succeeded in creating in Stevenson's, 'Today's classic toy store!'
