Employees say the popularity of online shopping and the city's changing demographics are factors in their demise.

The business says Palo Alto's tech-centric economy draws younger, childless workers who don't shop as often for toys.

The store is drastically marking down its inventory, and will continue selling on its website until everything is gone.
