“This is such a unique toy. My kids have a lot of toys but nothing quite like this. They love experimenting with making the sphere bigger and smaller and bouncing it and trying to catch it before it collapses, etc. Endless opportunities with this toy to use your imagination and expand your mind, it’s an experience every time the kids play with the sphere, rather than just another item in our home.” Roy - Little Richard’s Customer
Hey kids! Sign up for our birthday club in Little Richard's Toy Store.

About Us
Your hosts Richard Skorman and Patricia Seator welcome you to Poor Richard’s, where Downtown Colorado Springs residents, employees and visitors have been making themselves at home for more than 40 years. From simple beginnings as a restaurant and bookstore, Poor Richard’s has evolved to become a downtown Colorado Springs landmark—a warm and friendly family of businesses under one roof that’s the only one of its kind in the country.
In the News
A PLACE WHERE YOU FEEL AT HOME
Richard Skorman was just 22 years old when he opened his first business, a used paperback store on North Tejon Street. Skorman was a senior at Colorado College when he had the opportunity to buy the stock from a book store that was closing.
Two years later, he expanded the business with an inheritance, loans and some restaurant equipment donated by his father. The idea of a bookstore where you could also get a bite to eat was a novel idea at the time. Skorman wanted people to feel welcome at Poor Richard’s Feed & Read. He wanted his customers to enjoy a comfortable place where could hang out and not feel rushed.
Poor Richard’s has evolved since then, but the environment of a place where you feel at home has never changed.
