No, the toy store chain.

 

Taber's Toy Land.

 

I had to actually click on things to figure out what the hell that was. It's a local store that isn't even around anymore by the looks of it.

I firmly believe that local stores are almost never better than national stores of the same genre. Almost never. So I respectfully disagree with your take.

It had a lot of brand name toys, but more importantly, a lot of custom designed toys that couldn't be bought anyplace else.

Wooden boats powered by recycled Victrola mechanisms, for example.
