Interesting that it is closing down, I wonder if it was a temporary or pop up store, since it was only before Christmas that griffin posted about all the store they were opening. Not good if the newest toy retailer was already closing their regional stores.

Hopefully it is just a single, non-profitable store. (it's still not good to hear about any regional stores deciding to close due to insufficient sales)
From the amount of signage and shelving it certainly didn’t appear as though it was originally intended to be temporaryQuote:
