The famous Manhattan store in which Tom Hanks famously danced on a giant-size working keyboard is to shut…
F.A.O Schwarz will close the doors of its Manhattan Fifth Avenue store, as featured in the movie Big, on July 15.
Current owners Toy R Us are blaming the ‘high and rising costs’ of renting the current premises for the closure.
The store opened in 1870, but was immortalised forever when Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia danced to the tune of ‘Heart and Soul’, before a rapid transition to ‘Chopsticks’.
