Oooo, I used to love that shop when I was younger! Always used to go in after school to look at all the new stuff they had in. Was amazed how much they fitted into such a small shop (your new location opposite Waitrose looks much bigger than the old premises).

I live in Tring now, but am still in Berko all the time. Will be sure to pop in next time I'm about to say hello!

be pleased to see anyone for a chat and a cuppa

Jas, you have a good reputation in your shop, keep it up! Speaking to the sister-in-law who also lives in Berko, she and her fellow Mums are quite enthused, though they didn't rate it so much prior to your take-over.

Thanks , good to hear some feedback

I had worked at hamlins toyshop in Aylesbury since i was 12, and left when i was 19, (the oldest saturday boy ever!!..lol

The owners of the aylesbury store decided to set the shop up in berko, i think when i was 15, and once they bought the shop i was moved over to there to help fit it out and get it decorated and stock filled. And i worked over there in the summer holidays. such a good expereince. I think they sold hamlins about 5 or 6 years later, and sadly they closed down the aylesbury store and that was that so many great memories from HAMLINS..

Good luck with the store!!

I would love it if you could come in some time and give your opinion
On the place.posting from a phone if the post looks a bit weird

I work in Berko, above Costa Coffee. One of our directors and me used to frequent Hamlins for HotWheels! But the supply seemed to dry up a bit. I'll see if I can pop in next week for a quick chat and to see if you have any '09 Hotwheels stock - I don't expect a cuppa though

Got tea but no 09 hotwheels!

the business is focused on toys now.will look out for the 106
