A community-focused toy shop in Cardiff is closing its doors after a "tough year of rising costs coupled with fewer sales". The Honeycomb on Clare Road in Grangetown will shut on January 25 after just over three years of trading.
Mum-of-two Maia Banks who owns the store assured it's not the end of The Honeycomb, with a new retail space potentially on the horizon, while she will continue to run the store's 'toy library' out of a local community centre. She launched the shop in 2019 to make toys more accessible and affordable to those in Grangetown and beyond. It stocks a wide range of sustainable, inclusive and locally made toys, nursery items, and books.
