Lucy's on Thirty-One

Lucy's on Thirty-One is a toy store located at 2531 Rocky Ridge Road in Vestavia Hills. Owner Tahara Evans opened the store in 2006 at 640 Montgomery Highway in Vestavia Hills City Center. The "Lucy" in the name comes from a nickname Evans had when she was younger. She also now owns a black Labrador retriever named Lucy.

History

Evans was working on the Vestavia Hills School Foundation Cookbook when she noticed a shopping survey on the Vestavia Hills Chamber of Commerce web site. The top request was for a store similar to Smith's Variety. She spoke with her husband, Toner Evans, about it in February 2006 and the store became a reality in October. The ribbon cutting and grand opening was held November 28, 2006.

In 2009, Evans moved the store to Rocky Ridge Road. The new location opened on September 9.
