END OF A 160-YEAR TOY STORY
Birmingham Mail
|April 10, 2025
A HISTORIC and much-loved family favourite store is to close its doors for the final time.
The owner at toy store B.D. Price Superstore in High Holborn, Sedgley, has announced his fears that following his retirement the business will be no more.
Dan Price, 84, has run the shop for many years, delighting residents all over the Black Country with small children who can't get enough of the toys and bikes the shop sells.
The business was founded 160 years ago. But now, due to Mr Price's retirement, the shop will close for good due to the owner's worry it will not be bought by someone else.
