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)
“Here, lads, we live by the law of the taiga. But even here people manage to live. D’you know who are the ones the camps finish off? Those who lick other men’s left-overs, those who set store by the doctors, and those who peach on their mates.”
—Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)
