We are Blake and Jennifer Mitchell, proud lifelong residents of Fort Bend County, where we’re raising our amazing 8-year-old son, Max. Our story began in Sugar Land, where we met through youth group, fell in love, and built our bond through shared dreams and adventures. After college, we came home to Richmond, where we’ve planted our roots and embraced the vibrant community we cherish.

The inspiration for opening a Bricks & Minifigs store was born out of one of the most challenging yet transformative times in our lives—the pandemic. With a 3-year-old full of boundless energy and a world that seemed to come to a standstill, LEGO became our family's beacon of joy and connection. Building together every day sparked creativity, strengthened bonds, and brought smiles and laughter during uncertain times. Watching Max grow his fine-motor skills and imagination through LEGO reminded us of the simple, powerful joy these little bricks bring.

When the opportunity to open a Bricks & Minifigs in Fort Bend County came our way, we knew it was meant to be. For us, this store is far more than a business; it’s a love letter to the community we hold so dear. It’s our mission to create a welcoming space where LEGO enthusiasts of all ages can unleash their creativity, share their passion, and connect with others who share their love for building. The best part of this journey has been seeing the smiles on our customers’ faces, watching families bond over building, and being part of a community that celebrates imagination and fun.

We hope to be a cornerstone in Fort Bend County, a place where memories are made and joy is shared for generations to come. Welcome to our story—welcome to Bricks & Minifigs.
