Cashier– FAO Schwarz Flagship Store

Our Story so far Founded in 1862, F.A.O Schwarz is one of the oldest and most iconic toy retailers in the world. Frederick August Otto Schwarz dreamed of a marvelous, bountiful emporium full of extraordinary, one-of-a-kind toys from all over the world. His dream became a reality, and as one of America’s oldest brands, we have provided this wonder to families for more than 150 years. 

Our Vision is that we passionately curate an ever-evolving World of Wonder brought to life through our extraordinary people, experiences, and products to create everlasting memories for all.

We drive quality and innovation, offering one-of-a-kind playthings and creating cherished memories for generations of children. We are more than a toy store.  We are a place where toys come to life.
