Hello! My name is Tara and I am the owner of Libby Lou's Fun Factory. I am a single mom with 4 wonderful kiddos and our dog Rye. We opened our shop on September 10, 2020. We can't forget this date because it is my oldest daughter's birthday and she won't let me live that one down. My oldest son is 29, my middle daughter is 12 and my youngest son is 8. I literally opened this shop by accident. It was not my plan not even a vision.
I had been laid off due to COVID and many years ago I had done birthday parties and party characters. Maybe you heard of Pinkalicious Spa and Salon, and Character Couture. I was located down in Grove City. Anyhow, I started hosting virtual parties and building candy bouquets and cakes during COVID. I needed space because it was taking over my home and by accident the space we are in today landed in my lap. It just went from there. I had no idea how we were going to cover the rent, bills or inventory. I honestly just got behind the wheel and was like lets see where this goes. If it is meant to be it will be. So here we are.
42 Ice cream flavors later, 30 some extreme shakes & sundaes, and many of your carnival favorites like Belgian Waffles, Funnel Fries, Churros and Mini Donuts. If you don't like fun, crazy over the top then we just might not be the right place. Being over the top is what we are all about, creating - that's right creating over the top desserts that will make your eyes bulge out of your head. Every creation is thought out and they do take time so it can get a little backed up in the shop.
We also offer birthday party packages, catering packages, cotton candy cart, and personalized party favors. We are a rainbow of possibilities!! Everyone can find their happiness in our shop.
We love all of our customers and we appreciate everyone's support. Without our customers we wouldn't be as successful as we have been in getting to today. Again, I am Tara, you may not run into me as often because I do work full time outside of the shop, my daughter Brooke she is the manager and she is there just about everyday, occasionally you will see my middle daughter Emry working as well. Then from time to time even Grey will come in and hang out and help run dishes or wipe down counters. Anthony, the oldest he has his own thing going on but you can find his artwork on the walls and maybe you have caught him on an extremely busy busy day running register for me. All in all everyone helps out in some way.
Again thank you for all your support!!!
We look forward to seeing you in the shop.

Owner
Owner, Tara Becker is originally from Columbus, Ohio. Graduating from Franklin University in Ohio in 2006 with a degree in Business Management. She is a single mom with 4 kiddos, whom you run into from time to time in the shop.
Libby Lou's is not her first go round. You may remember her from Pinkalicious Parties that was located in Grove City from 2009-2011. Libby Lou's was started out of her home in 2020 as a pivot to being laid off due to COVID. She was creating virtual birthday parties, drive by parties, candy bouquets and care packages that were being sent all over the country in 2020 & 2021.
In September of 2020 she opened her first storefront on Indianola Ave. The next five years were a lot of ups and downs trying to meet the demand.
Most recently in February 2025 she relocated to Bubbly Food Hall in New Albany Ohio.
