We have our own parking lot.
Every branch is deco-
rated as you wind your
way through the forest of
trees displaying specialty
ornaments and life-like
plush animals from every
species that greet you at
Christmas At the Zoo.
“I love Christmas and I
love plush animals,” said
owner Connie Nicoud,
which is why she opened
and named her first shop
Christmas at the Zoo in
Northwest Portland over
23 years ago.
“My husband worked,
my children were getting
older and I had worked
with plush animals in the
past and had a lot of re-
sources and connections
in the industry. When my
husband spotted our first
location, I knew I had to
open the business,” she
added.
Now, going on two years
in her brand-new building
on Main Street in down-
town Oregon City, the
shop is decorated with or-
naments for every budget
starting at $1.99 to $350.
From the Oregon Ducks
to the “Wizard of Oz” or-
naments, there is some-
thing for every interest
and personality. Nicoud
also sells exclusive collec-
tor pieces such as Patricia
Breen, Gladys Boalt and
Steiff.
“The Steiff collection
out of Germany is one that
draws a lot of people from
all over,” said Nicoud.
“We also have orna-
ments from nearly every-
where in the world, hard-
to-find collections and ex-
clusive brands.”
Nicoud attributes her
success for nearly a quar-
ter of a century to loving
what she does. The plush
animals from lions to ti-
gers and bears are all life-
like animals that range in
price from $5 to $1,000,
and are made from high-
quality materials.
“We definitely get busi-
er during the holidays,”
said Nicoud, “but because
we offer such a selection
of hard-to-find items, our
website helps bring in
year-round success.”
A visual inventory can
be found at her website
