The toy store responsible for inspiring the legendary “Toy Story” films is shutting down for infinity after nearly nine decades in business thanks to widespread overall crime in San Francisco’s downtown and the near stabbing of one of its ex-employees.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday that Jeffrey’s Toys will be closing its doors “in a couple of weeks” after an incredible 86 years in business. The store was founded in 1938 by the Luhn family and had seven locations at its peak but declined to one single location at 45 Kearny St. in the Financial District of San Francisco.
Attorney Ken Sterling told the San Francisco Chronicle that the ‘perils and violence’ of San Francisco combined with Bidenflation played prominent roles in the store’s demise.
