Schweinfurt mourns: traditional business toys Schierling closes after 67 years!

The shock wave has reached Schweinfurt: after a breathtaking 67 years, the popular toy Schierling closes its doors forever! For many, this traditional shop is a real institution that arouses memories of happy childhood days. "As a little boy, it was the greatest for me when I was allowed to go to the 'toy car department'. I will make a last nostalgia purchase!" Says a loyal customer and thus sums up the emotions.

owner Thomas Schierling, who is connected to the family business, confirms the sad news: "Yes, we close because I want to retire." The 50 years in the toy area did not escape him-even when he was 13, he helped his parents in the shop. "That takes you away," he adds, while looking at the diverse products on almost 600 square meters, ranging from model railways to dolls to baby goods. Nobody seems to forget the closure of the traditional business, because the clearance sale with a 20 percent discount will surely tempt you to return again.

The last curtain for a family company

"Of course there is a crying and a laughing eye," reflects Schierling about the inevitable farewell. "I'm so sad. Another reason to come to Schweinfurt," says a long -time customer on the net. The loss is felt bitterly - for many customers, business is part of their own childhood and the family atmosphere is painfully missed. "This is really a loss. My absolute favorite shop," explains another buyer. At the end of the year there are not only emotional farewells ahead; Other shops are already withdrawing from the region. On December 31, 2024, the chapter Spielwaren Schierling will end - the legacy of a very special place will meet many with grief.
