Grand opening on the 11th July 2026 at Bole Japan — visit our flagship store on the 2nd floor of Nile Source Building

Our Story

Built on a simple belief — every child deserves wonder

The Fun Factory Story

From a dream in Addis to Ethiopia's premier destination

The Fun Factory was born from a simple observation: Ethiopian families deserved the same world-class toys, books and stationery found in the great stores of London, Dubai and New York — without compromise on authenticity or quality.

So we built it. On the second floor of the Nile Source Building in Bole Japan, we created a flagship space where LEGO walls meet storybook corners, where premium stationery sits beside beloved board games, and where every visit is designed to feel special.

Today, The Fun Factory is more than a store. It is a destination — for gifts that delight, for school seasons done beautifully, and for the pure joy of discovery.
