About Us
Welcome to Tao's Core Collection, your one-stop destination for all things hobby-related! Founded by a passionate enthusiast, our store is rooted in a love for retro toy shops and the joy of hands-on creativity. Inspired by childhood memories of classic stores and the whimsical train scene from the 1991 film The Addams Family, we aim to rekindle that sense of wonder in every customer.
Our Journey
The idea for Tao's Core Collection blossomed during my MBA studies in finance and accounting. With a desire to bring my learnings to life before graduating in May 2025, I embarked on this venture to create a space where hobbyists can find the tools and supplies they need to explore their passions. I have spent countless hours building cities in the game Cities: Skylines, which fueled my ambition to create a community around shared interests.

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to explore their interests beyond screens and television. We are committed to inclusivity, integrity, and a passion for customer satisfaction.
