Hawkin's Bazaar offers a range of unusual toys, gifts, gadgets and curiosities. They source out-of-the-ordinary products and offer something different, a range of toys and gifts that will appeal to many ages and tastes. What started off as a local toy shop at the Hawk Inn (hence the name Hawkin), became a niche mail order company in 1973, and since then has developed into a supplier of "things you thought had gone forever and things you never even knew existed". From 2007 up to the end of 2012, Hawkin’s Bazaar operated out of Beccles from The Old Aerodrome in Worlingham where the warehouse and head office were based. At the start of 2013 the company separated these two entities, with the warehouse moving to Eye, Suffolk and the head office to Norwich. The current contact address for the company is Hawkin’s Bazaar, 62-64 Yare House, Thorpe Road, Norwich, Norfolk, NR1 1RY. 2013 marks the company’s 40th year in business. Whilst a lot has changed since Hawkin’s Bazaar launched as a mail order service, the company still refers to its original values with taglines such as “Unusual gifts for every occasion, since 1973”[2] and “Suppliers to Father Christmas since 1973”[3] adorning their mail order catalogues and other communications. In addition to high street shops and mail order catalogues the company continues to operate online. Its website was updated and re-launched in August 2012.[4] On 23 January 2012, Hawkin's Bazaar (and Tobar Group) were bought by Primary Capital from administration through a management buy-out.[5] The company continued trading in 2012 and opened several additional stores towards the end of the year (some at previous sites[6]). As of December 2012, the company has 27 stores open around the UK.[7] During 2012 the Tobar Group achieved sales of over £20 million and employed 250 people.
