To compete with amazon (or walmart) they need to become a destination.&lt;p&gt;Around here if you add a playground to your restaurant you will immediately get families.&lt;p&gt;They should keep toys in the back and make the store one big toy playground. Playscape, track for riding bikes and electric cars, sand area, water area, walls of video games etc. Have &amp;quot;lands&amp;quot; similar to disney where those types of toys are available to play with. Have guides to help kids play with toys.  Consumable toys can have a charge to use or art classes, science classes, electronics, etc.&lt;p&gt;Catalogs or computer screens that let you buy the toy and someone brings it from the back.&lt;p&gt;Parents will bring their kids to play and will end up buying things.</text></comment>

With the death of Radio Shack, I&amp;#x27;d like to see them perhaps expand into electronics, boards, drones, maker stuff, etc.  I wanted to say adult toys, but that has an obvious connotation, so not sure what the proper term is.</text></comment>
