Chains and independents

Of the 307 toy shops we hold, 104 (34%) carry a chain or brand name in our source. The most common are Toys R Us (30), Toy Kingdom South Africa (19), Toy Kingdom (16), SA Toy Trade (8) and Lego (7). The other 66% are independent businesses or entries without a brand tag. Brand tags come from the open dataset and are not always complete, so a branch of a chain can appear without one.
