History
The Entertainer began when Gary and Catherine Grant took over The Pram and Toy Bar located in Amersham, Buckinghamshire in early 1981. The shop was renamed The Entertainer in May of that year. In 1985, they purchased their second shop, located on The Broadway in Beaconsfield. In April 1991, ten years since the acquisition of the toy shop in Amersham, the chain opened its third shop in Slough, although this shop has since closed. From here on the company underwent massive expansion, and by 2001 the chain had opened its twenty fifth shop located in the Victoria Centre, Nottingham. In September 2008, The Entertainer comprised 47 stores from Taunton to Manchester and Sheffield, with a website specialising in toys and games.
