Hasbro store?

[ManaMinori 4,146]

This bugs me every time I see a Disney Store, or Sanrio store, and I hate that Hasbro doesn't have a store of its own. Should they, so even more pony merch can be found, even if just in one more location?

That sounds like a great idea if they open one! I don't have to wait for weeks when I ordered something online from them FOREVER!!!!!!! :=:

As a major competitor in children's toys, I too wonder why that's the case. I assumed it's the initial costs that prevents them from setting up in each location.

That and the unreliability of a brick and mortar shop these days. Sure it could do incredibly well, but customers are getting more and more fickle about store shopping and with MLP especially I can still imagine a large part of the fanbase would prefer to just shop online. Maybe if they made the shop very interactive and worked on making it an experience to shop there and not just "another toy store" they could make something successful?

Agree in that Online sales are much easier and quite frankly, more anonymous too but that shouldn't be the reason why to not shop in stores these days. Maybe if they where to incorporate a "brony" or "fan" section of the MLP toy side to better the experience of older fans and to embrace the fandom rather than hiding it, then that might be the key there.

why do they need a hasbro store? you can buy hasbro stuff from almost all major retailers and online,

they would be competing against themselves
