The Warner Bros. Studio Store
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Warner Bros. Studio Store was a chain of retail stores nationwide carrying Looney Tunes and other merchandise based on Warner Bros. films, similar in style to The Disney Store. When Warner Bros. merged with Turner Entertainment (which owned Hanna-Barbera and the pre-1986 MGM library), merchandise based on Turner properties were added to the product lines. In 2001, all Warner Bros. Studio Stores went out of business, but the merchandise is now available on eBay.
The chain also existed in the United Kingdom, with outlets in various locations around London, including Regent Street, Lakeside Shopping Centre, and Bluewater Shopping Centre. There were locations outside London such as Manchester, Gateshead Metro Centre, Glasgow and Preston. The United Kingdom locations, however, closed around the same time as those in the United States.
Warner Bros. still sells merchandise online at its website, titled WBShop.com.
A number of these stores still exist in Queensland, Australia, near the location of Warner Bros. Studios on the Gold Coast. One exists in Melbourne, Australia at the famous Crown Casino.
