  Chris and Lynne Walsh are long time residents of central Massachusetts who shopped and played at The Whiz for many years. They have two sons, Jon and James, who have inherited their parent's love of games and toys. In fact, if not for Jon, the Walshes might not have purchased the store. Jon was playing at the regular Friday Night Magic: The Gathering tournament when he heard that the previous owners of The Whiz were retiring and closing the store. Chris talked to the owners about buying the business, and the rest is history!

Chris and Lynne always enjoyed The Whiz's tradition of making shopping fun. The Whiz is perfect for those special and unusual toys, gifts, crafts, games, and cards, but the Chris and Lynne have greatly expanded the gaming department to include classic board games, card games, and strategy games.  The store boasts a 700 square foot area dedicated to card game and miniatures events.

Prior to taking over The Whiz, both Chris and Lynne had been in computer programming. Chris was a successful programmer and manager and is no stranger to entrepreneurial environments. He played a key role in the success of a small Internet service provider, UltraNet Communications. Chris has been an avid game player for most of his life, and says of his career change, "This is a dream come true. When I was a programmer, work was play. Then I became a manager, and I worked so I could play at home. With the Whiz, I get to play while at work!"

Lynne Walsh was a computer programmer for over 20 years before retiring from the rat race in January 2000. Since then she has been an active volunteer at the Northborough schools.  "I love putting a smile on a youngster's face.  Working in a toy store, I get many chances every day to see a child's face light up!"
