Located on the south side of the Humber estuary, Grimsby is often linked with its near neighbour Cleethorpes. Freshney Place Shopping Centre is home to branches of most major national retailers, with plenty of independently owned shops spread over the rest of the town. Online retailer Pitter Patter Furniture supplies a wonderful selection of children’s wooden furniture and accessories, whilst Newby Leisure on Bradleys Corner is the local expert at playground design and construction.
Babyroo on Gilbey Road and Tots 2 Teens on Freeman Street offer a great choice of kid’s nursery equipment and clothing. Keen Grimsby modellers are spoilt for choice with Heritage Aviation Models and Grimsby Model Centre both trading in the town. Although Grimsby doesn’t have a dedicated independent toy shop, there are plenty of opportunities to buy games, puzzles, party supplies and action figures from smaller shops that often offer toys in addition to other gifts and products.
