A toy store, or toy shop, is a retail business specializing in selling toys.
No longer held to the limitations of a physical outlet, many toy stores now transact business over the Internet in addition to shops on the street. Many department stores also have toy sections.
Among the most widely known toy retailers are Toys "R" Us and FAO Schwarz. The flagship store of Hamleys in London is the world's largest toy shop.
Famous quotes containing the words toy and/or store:
“Everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It’s easy to see without looking too far
That not much is really sacred.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
“There used to be a thing or a commodity we put great store by. It was called the People. Find out where the People have gone. I don’t mean the square-eyed toothpaste-and-hair-dye people or the new-car-or-bust people, or the success-and-coronary people. Maybe they never existed, but if there ever were the People, that’s the commodity the Declaration was talking about, and Mr. Lincoln.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
