Popular toy shop with over 160 branches shutting two sites with just hours left before one closes for good A POPULAR toy shop chain with around 160 branches across the UK is closing two stores, with one waving goodbye to customers in hours.
Andrew Murphy OBE, group chief executive officer at The Entertainer, said all five stores were closing after lease agreements came to an end.
Meanwhile, a Luton local said: "Luton is on its knees", while another added that they were "gutted" the Entertainer is closing.
The Entertainer, which sells toys, puzzles and board games, is shutting the sites after three shops already closed in recent months.
Mr Murphy added: "Like most large national retailers, we continuously assess potential new locations while deciding whether to renew those shops which have reached the end of their lease arrangements.
