By chance, Josh meets the company's owner, Mr. MacMillan ( Robert Loggia ), checking out the products at FAO Schwarz, and impresses him with both his extensive knowledge of current toys and his happy-go-lucky childlike enthusiasm.

FAO Schwarz, founded in 1862, is the oldest toy store in the United States.

The FAO Schwarz flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York City is a popular tourist destination, and has gained iconic status for its floor piano, cameos in major motion pictures, and real-life toy soldiers.

FAO Schwarz was founded in 1862 under the name “ Toy Bazaar ” by German immigrant Frederick August Otto Schwarz, in Baltimore, where he and his brothers retailed toys from a fancy-goods store.

Further, the FAO Schwarz holiday catalog is still published annually since 1876.

The FAO Schwarz flagship store opened at its current location in 1986 in the General Motors Building at the corner of 58th Street and 5th Avenue.

In 1963, when the Schwarz family sold their last shares in the business, FAO Schwarz went through a series of owners beginning with Parents Magazine.

In 1985, Christiana Companies, a San Diego, California based company, owned FAO Schwarz for just one year.

FAO Schwarz was sold to Netherlands-based NV Koninklijke Bijenkorf Beheer ( later renamed Vendex / KBB ) in 1990.

Throughout the 1990s, new FAO Schwarz stores opened throughout the United States and by 2000 the company had 40 locations.

In 2001, Right Start, Inc. purchased 23 of the 42 stores from Vendex, including the famed FAO Schwarz Fifth Avenue flagship store.

In 2002, Right Start Inc. changed its corporate name to FAO Inc. operating stores under The Right Start, Zany Brainy and FAO Schwarz names.

In February 2004, investment firm D. E. Shaw & Co., L. P., acquired the FAO Schwarz stores in New York and Las Vegas, as well as FAO Schwarz's catalog and internet business.

In November 2007, FAO Schwarz acquired premium children's clothing company Best & Co., which had plans to expand, but the company ceased business in 2009.

In May 2009, Toys " R " Us Inc. acquired FAO Schwarz and currently operates the retailer ’ s flagship store as well as its e-commerce site, FAO. com.

In 2009, Toys “ R ” Us subsequently put temporary FAO Schwarz boutiques in its U. S. Toys “ R ” Us stores for the holidays, and in October 2010, the concept was expanded into permanent boutiques in Toys “ R ” Us stores.

In addition to its own line of products, FAO Schwarz carries brands including Steiff, the world ’ s oldest and best-known European designer of stuffed animals, Melissa & Doug, a leading designer and manufacturer of educational toys, and Mamas & Papas, the number one brand of baby gear products in Great Britain.

The FAO Schwarz flagship store, located in the General Motors Building at Fifth Avenue and 58th Street in Manhattan, is currently the brand ’ s only store location.

In addition, it exclusively operates the FAO Schwarz brand and its flagship location in New York City.
