San Francisco's iconic Jeffrey's Toys, which inspired the "Toy Story" films, is closing after 86 years due to the city's crime and violence issues, pandemic-related decline, and high rent costs.

The family cited the perils of the downtown environment, inflation, and the demise of retail as contributing factors to the closure.

"Iconic San Francisco Toy Store, Inspiration for 'Toy Story,' Shuts Down After 86 Years Due to City Perils"

San Francisco's iconic toy store, Jeffrey's Toys, which inspired the Toy Story movies, has closed after 86 years due to the city's rampant crime and homelessness. The family-owned business cited the "perils and violence of the downtown environment" as the main factor driving the decision, alongside inflation and the demise of retail. The closure reflects the city's decline, with major retailers also leaving due to lax policing, rampant homelessness, and drug addiction. The once-bustling downtown area has seen a dramatic decline, with businesses fleeing, high crime rates, and diminished foot traffic, leading to widespread closures and economic loss.
