Let's face it...regional shopping malls have taken a beating recently from retail analysts who chirp about the recession-caused store vacancies.
So it's interesting to see toys on their way back to the mall for the upcoming holiday season. Sears is wading back into the business with toy stores within their mall locations in a few big-city markets. And this week Toys R Us announced 80 temporary stores to open in 80 major-market malls.
Hmmm...suddenly malls are "in" for toys!
Here at University Mall in Carbondale, IL, My Favorite Toys knew this already! We're headed into our fifth Holiday Season, grateful to customers through southern Illinois, eastern Kentucky and southeastern Missouri who have supported us!
The success at our locally-owned and operated brick-and-mortar store has allowed us to broaden our base via www.MyFavToys.com, our online store.
Yes, it's nice to know the "experts" now share our view that there is still life at the mall!
