💨 Abstract

A 160-year-old toy shop, BD Price, is set to close due to a combination of aging ownership and decreased footfall, signaling a wave of closures decimating UK high streets. Toy sales have declined, and the fewest bicycles have been sold since 1970. The owner, Dan Price, attributes the decline to increased overheads, economic hardship, and the shift towards electronic devices.
