Post by: Elric on March 23, 2011, 13:00:48: Many here may know this but I just found out that the Funpark in New Jersey closed this past January. Very sad news.:(

Still, it is very unfortunate,
as I visit New Jersey more often then Florida. :P

Post by: Rasputin on March 23, 2011, 20:21:24: Was there a lot of stuff going on in New Jersey to justify a big store? I know the distribution warehouse is there, so was it just convenient to put it there? Why not put one in New York or San Fransisco some tourist destination, how about in my neighborhood :lol: we have loads of wine tourist and we could use more traps ;)

Post by: Tiermann on March 25, 2011, 04:09:36: It was posted on Playmobil's US Facebook account that the lease on the shop space ran out. No comments were made about what will happen from now. The shop was in a mall and those spaces can be quite expensive. The only reason the company I work for still has one of our mall stores is because the mall dropped the rent quite a bit to keep us there. If the rent was going up and the store wasn't profitable enough it would make sense for them to let the lease lapse.
