Neighborhood Toy Store Day: Nov. 8, 2014
It’s almost that time again! Every year, members of the “ASTRA” (American Specialty Toy Retailing Association) participate in Neighborhood Toy Store Day. Saturday, November 8th, is the date of this year’s Neighborhood Toy Store Day. ASTRA retailers across the nation will be hosting special events to mark this annual shopping day. From entertainment and crafts to scavenger hunts, ASTRA retailers will have a plethora of fun activities and events taking place this November.
Neighborhood Toy Store day was created to bring neighborhoods together at the start of the holiday season; when the spirit of giving is almost in full swing. This shopping event is a reminder, to the local public, that specialty retailers are an important part of their community. Specialty sto re owners strive to create a unique experience for their customers unlike that of larger chain stores. This in turn provides an exciting shopping experience for the customer while creating a sense of community.
