Does anybody have any info on this chain? (or better yet have any pictures?) It was a chain of toy stores started by Stop & Shop which I'm assuming didn't do well considering there isn't any info that I could find on it other than their logo.

I found their logo on page 98 of this book (the link starts off at page 97)

I found an old Stop & Shop annual report from 1970 which has an entire page dedicated to the Fun Stop stores:

Ok so after looking through old Stop & Shop annual reports here's the info that I found:

Fun Stop was a chain of toy stores which were started in 1970 by Stop & Shop. They possibly had other stores under the name "Leisure Time". At it's peak, there were only 3 Fun Stop stores before the brand was sold to Child World in 1973
