Last night I had a dream that Learning Express, a chain educational toy store was closing. I was sad to see them go and wondered what retail toy store with educational toys would be left in business. The shelves where nearly bare and only a few products remained as I walked the front and back room.
In real life, this chain used to be in Arizona but all locations closed awhile ago. The one closest to me has been closed at least 10 years. I haven't thought of them in years and have no idea why they were in my dream. The do still have locations across the US. I wonder if there will be announcement about them or perhaps Toys R Us or another toy store in the news soon. Toys R Us has had a rough few years as have many retail toy stores.
I researched toys online today and discovered the annual Toy Fair New York is happening right now for toy retailers, distributors and wholesalers. This is the biggest toy convention ( not open to the pubic) in the nation, likely the world. I did not know this before my dream. This is where new products are displayed. and the "it" toy for Christmas is usually discovered. The Fair lasts until the 20th of Feb.
