DESIGN FOR A NEW GENERATION™

It all started with a simple idea: Just because you’re now a parent doesn’t mean you should have to immediately abandon your love of design.

This year marks the five-year anniversary of the opening of our first Genius Jones store, and that simple idea is more relevant now than ever.

It’s about having a choice.

Parents, you don’t have to surrender to the worst whims of the mass market! It is possible to find functional children’s products that are so well designed, you won’t feel compelled to hide them in a closet when company comes to visit.

What products make the cut?

We love design museums, but your house is not a museum. Some products may look great in photos or on pedestals. But the question is, do they function in the real world? For us, it’s not good enough for a product to simply look beautiful, it also has to work! That’s why we carefully evaluate each product before we add it to our stores.

Products that are good for kids and good for our planet.

We look for products made by companies that truly care about our children. These companies (a) voluntarily test their products for safety, (b) use materials that are non-toxic and sustainable, and (c) take steps to ensure that their manufacturing processes do not cause undue harm to our environment. That’s what we call design for a new generation™.

We're all about great design, not designer labels.

Some of our products are from designers and companies you probably already know. Others are from places you may never have heard of. We love products that have stood the test of time and earned the right to be called classic. We also love products that offer new solutions to age-old problems.

So why did we call our company Genius Jones?

A Genius Jones is someone who has the answers. (That would be us.) We spend lots of time finding intelligently designed products that answer the needs of parents and kids.

With so many places to shop, why should you shop with us?

Selection: We carry the widest range of products, and each represents the best of class in its category.

Knowledge: Some retailers never actually touch the products they sell. They just take your order and have the manufacturer ship it to your door. Not us. We have real stores where we demonstrate our products every day. We have warehouses full of inventory and installers who can deliver and assemble everything we sell. We know which products are reliable and which ones aren’t (and we don’t sell those).

Service: You can call us on the phone seven days a week and speak to a real Genius Jones customer service representative (not a phone operator reading from a script). Our knowledgeable staff takes pride in offering the best possible shopping experience. If we don’t have an item in stock, we’ll tell you honestly how long it will take to arrive. We aren’t satisfied until your order has been delivered and you are 100% satisfied with your purchase.

Integrity: We aren’t the newest kid on the block. We’ve been doing this for over five years and have served over 60,000 customers. We offer competitive pricing, top-notch customer service, easy to understand flat-rate (or free) shipping and we stand behind what we sell with our 30-day return policy.

Sharing: A portion of our profit goes to organizations that focus on the needs of children in our community.

Fun: Our products may be simple, but they’re not boring. We never forget that childhood is a time of exploring, learning and having fun.

So go ahead, enjoy our products!
