I was horrified when I read this.
It was bad enough having no toy shop in Accy and now this.
My kids love going to spend their birthday and Christmas money in Mercers.
They were very upset when I told them this news and we then had to have a lengthy credit crunch discussion as they couldn't understand why it was closing.
Where will we go now? We've still got Argos but flicking through a catalogue and going to the shop and filling a form in is not the same experience for kids as going to a proper toy shop and seeing all the toys displayed on the shelves.
If you can't get to Toys r us in Preston where do you go?
