The Toy Store comes to life in London

The Toy Store, the Middle Eastern toy retailer, has opened its doors to UK shoppers for the very first timem, launching its inaugural European store on London’s Oxford Street.

Opening on the cusp of the Christmas shopping period, the Toy Store is set to create 105 new jobs in the city.

With a unique in-store offering, The Toy Store encourages places a special emphasis on entertainment and theatre, allowing children to play, interact with a host of well-loved characters, and enjoy live demonstrations when visiting the shop.

The Toy Store will stock many leading toy brands such as Disney, Marvel, Lego, Barbie, TY and Sylvanian Families to name but a few, and will also be home to a brand new and exclusive Mr Men character, Mr Fun.

The Toy Store is being supported in its UK launch by charity partner Shooting Star Chase – supporting children suffering from life-limiting conditions, and their families. As part of the official ribbon cutting ceremony, The Toy Store were joined by two children from the charity – George Ludlow, 12, and Ruby May Grimshaw, 7, to fulfill their dream of dressing up as their favourite characters from Star Wars… accompanied by an army of brightly coloured Storm Troopers.

Gareth Marriot Davies, UK General Manager of The Toy Store commented on the launch: “We are incredibly excited to be opening our first European store, and looking forward to sharing The Toy Store magic with a UK audience for the first time.

“The Toy Store has already been very successful across the Middle East, offering children the chance to create lasting memories and have an inspirational experience each and every time they visit the store. We can’t wait to share this unique ethos and retail experience with UK families, and hope that parents and children alike will fall in love with The Toy Store offering”
