Stores Stores Animate is a chain toy store in Hong Kong. Established in 1985, its stated mission is to provide a wide range of original, authentic toys from Japan to the population of Hong Kong. In the mid 1980s, the Japanese economy was rising and the demand for better toys rose for many of its middle-class citizens. At the time, there were few Japanese toy manufacturers and distributors in Hong Kong, and consequently, most of the items in Animate were parallel imports. For over 20 years, Animate has worked directly with most Japanese toy manufacturers like Kaiyodo, Yamato, Marmit, Volks and others. ...more on Wikipedia about "Animate"

Spag's was a discount department store in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts which was in business from 1934 to 2004. It was founded by Anthony Borgatti, nicknamed "Spag" (short for spaghetti, his favorite dish). The logo was a cowboy hat because that is what Spag wore. It was a popular department store. Until 1996, one had to bring his or her own bags, hence the saying, "No bags at Spag's." When Spag died in 1996, his daughters took over the store until 2002 when they sold it to Building 19, a chain of discount department stores. The location became Spag's 19, and on September 30, 2004 Building 19 owner Jerry Ellis said the store was not profitable in its original format due to competition with the larger department store chains. Spag's merchandise and marketing operations were subsequently converted to the Building 19 format. October 3, 2004 was the last day of business for Spag's. Though the store still occupies the former Spag's building on Route 9, all references to Spag's have been removed from the marketing literature. ...more on Wikipedia about "Spag's"
