The previous location of Toy Joy had very little parking and relied mostly on pedestrian traffic. If they're struggling, I think it's because of location.
Many UT students would frequent the old location to buy gifts for friends. Also, it appealed to that "nerd demographic" (supports places like UFO Arcade, Game Republik, and Resurrected Games) that can be found around UT as well as families in Hyde Park.
2nd St. is primarily yuppie.. not many families with children
