So yesterday's Wall Street Journal reports continued handwringing by major retailers about upcoming back-to-school sales and prospects for the remainder of 2009.
The article reports that "Some chains have cut inventory as much as 20%, compared to previous years' levels."
Not so at My Favorite Toys and www.MyFavToys.com! Our sales are up in excess of 7% for the first six months of 2009, and success at both our brick-and-mortar store at University Mall in Carbondale, IL and our online store have allowed us to expand, not reduce, the number of new and creative items, such as new Joe Benders, Uglydolls, My Name Piggybanks, new Science sets, new puzzles, etc. etc.
These are items that MIGHT be available in the big chain stores months or years from now. As an independently-owned specialty toy store, we search for new and innovative products, so they are available to you, our customers, first!
We thank our strong base of customers for responding to this approach. You allow us to continue to invest in creative, educational and just plain fun toy, games, and puzzles for kids of all ages!
Thank you!
