Meet the Phares Family: Building Dreams Brick by Brick

For father and son Doug and Connor Phares, LEGO® has always been about play and togetherness. Now, partnering with Bricks & Minifigs™ (BAM™), they’re turning this lifelong passion into a family business. Doug brings a wealth of high-level thought and strategy from a long career in media and publishing, while Connor is a people-first manager who knows how to build a team and make sure that their customers enjoy LEGO® and its fun-loving culture every bit as much as he does.

This father-son duo has successfully owned and operated local businesses in the past, and their future with Bricks & Minifigs™ looks just as bright. Connor and Doug opened their first BAM™ store in Clearwater in 2024 and are excited to make their mark on Brandon with their second location in 2025! If you’re in the market for some LEGO®, community, or just a friendly smile, come visit the Phares family and share in their love of all things LEGO®!
