So this could be exciting news for anyone who loves toys. FAO Schwarz is looking at China as part of its expansion plans. They are opening locations in Beijing and Shanghai this year with China’s largest toy distributor, Kidsland. Kidsland also has plans to open 30 smaller FAO Schwarz locations and shops in department stores around China in the five years ahead.
You’ll also soon see FAO Schwarz airport shops coming in the US and Canada in the next number of years, with the first one opening later this year.
And for those in New York missing the glamour and fun of the company, FAO Schwarz will soon open a new, 20,000 square foot, store in Rockefeller Plaza before Christmas 2018.
