Wonko's was opened by Chad Seger in November of 2005, with a focus on collectible, vintage and rare toys, specializing in hard-to-find action figures and statues. Wonko's changed hands to the Dow family in July 2009, who shifted the focus to an even mix of toys and games. In November of 2010, Wonko's moved across 183 from its original location into a larger facility to make room for bigger tournaments and a greater selection of both toys and games. In March of 2019, Wonko's was purchased by Becky and Seth Roland, who hired then store manager Matt Prinzivalli.
