Schweinfurt mourns: Toys Schierling closes after 67 years!

Roßmarkt 3, 97421 Schweinfurt, Deutschland - The end of an era! The popular Schierling toy store in Schweinfurt, an institution for generations, is about to close. After 67 years, the shop door will be closed for the last time on December 31, 2024. Until then, a clearance sale with a whopping 20 percent discount will be excited among loyal customers.

Owner Thomas Schierling, who has been working in business himself since childhood, admits in an interview with Infranken.de that this decision has not been made easily. The 63-year-old looks back in the toy industry for five decades, starting at the age of 13 when he helped his parents in the shop. "I'll only be a few more weeks here, but it is already taking you," admits Schierling emotionally.

customers show their sadness about the closure

"What a loss!", Numerous customers comment online about the upcoming closure. A loyal regular customer says: "From my childhood to my daughters you accompanied us. I will miss the family atmosphere and your great service very much." Schierling himself reflects: "I am both sad and relieved. A crying and a laughing eye - on the last day the crying will predominate." His decision to retire was accelerated by a heart attack. Unfortunately, nobody found themselves who wanted to take over the traditional business. Customers now have to separate from a place full of memories that offered everything their heart desires: model trains, collection cards and more. Schweinfurt not only loses a shop, but part of its history.
