Now that this topic is almost a decade ⚠ old I am not sure if brick and mortar entries from 7-10 years ago are likely to be valid. I think @jhb8426 had some _excellent_ general advice [in his first reply](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/where-to-buy-yoyos-locally-usa-retail-outlets-real-store-only/23906/2):
> A few general guidelines for finding a store in your area: Depending on where you live, try

> - upscale toy or game stores in the malls in your area
>
> - specialty stores that cater to frisbee golf, kites, juggling, or magic supplies etc
>
> - some hobby/craft stores also carry them
>
> National chains like Walmart and Target are now known to stock YYF, and Duncan lines at some locations.

> As always, ☎ **call before you go** to make sure that they are still in business, or have what you are looking for.
So, rather than the herculean task of maintaining a directory of all brick and mortar stores (in the world? in canada? in the us?) that carry yo-yos, I think it may be better to refine the above strategies for figuring out where yo-yos are likely to be in your area, and always, _always_ calling first.
I also made [the directory post](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/where-to-buy-yoyos-locally-usa-retail-outlets-real-store-only/23906/4) a wiki so users at trust level 1 and higher (read: users who hung around and spent some time reading topics after signing up) can edit it.
**If you know of a store that carries yo-yos near you** , and _is not part of a larger national chain that is already known to carry yo-yos_ feel free to edit [the directory post](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/where-to-buy-yoyos-locally-usa-retail-outlets-real-store-only/23906/4).
Major :clap::clap::clap::clap: to @jhb8426 for carrying this forward for almost a decade and keeping it up to date.

Is there any known local retailer that sells yoyos in Portugal or Spain? I live in Portugal and all the yoyos that i get are bought from online stores, which is bad in some cases😓. Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, i live too far away from Madrid. Thanks though! I’ve seen their site and the thing that im looking for is cheaper there and probably will take less time to ship to where i live!

Also I saw a shop called GiroYoyo but I’ve never purchased anything from them. It’s based on Portugal so maybe that helps:)

Risking it all for this necro!
In Seattle, Wa, Pike Place Market a small shop downstairs called Market Magic Shop sells some Hollywood Modern’s and some DV888s. They do some magic shows and if you’re lucky you’ll catch one.

wow this post is over 10 years old but I’m glad it exists. I wanted to add this for any other fellow Texas folks:
Terra Toys in Austin carries a few Duncan, Yomega, and various other skilltoys. They have a few metals, I did purchase a Barracuda there two years ago.
Sadly Paper Bear in San Marcos closed down years ago, I noticed that it’s still on the list.
I know it’s not within the US (close enough though) but I visited this awesome little shop on Granville Island in Vancouver called Clownin’ Around. They have a pretty decent selection of metals and many magic and juggling props as well.
