SizeUp Names Top U.S. States for Toy Stores This Holiday Season
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 19, 2013 -- While some children will enjoy digital apps this holiday season, many parents still seek out brick-and-mortar toy stores for gifts. Where are those toy stores performing best? SizeUp, a free business intelligence website, found that retail toy stores including Toys "R" Us, Build-a-Bear Workshop and Playskool Toys show the highest per capita revenues in Rhode Island, New Jersey, Alaska, New Hampshire and Delaware.
"Toy stores are busiest this time of year, so we ranked places where retail locations have the highest returns relevant to their state’s population size," said Anatalio Ubalde, CEO of SizeUp.
