CCTV Gift Shop

CCTV Gift Shop is a store chain established on March 18, 2018 that sells all CCTV franchises, including California City Show, Life In The Year 7500, Ice Island, and more franchises made.

Stores
Most of the stores they bought were former fidget spinner stores that closed down in early 2018 (only 76 of them remain). Fidget Spinner Store (founded on July 16, 2016 initially as Fidget Cube Store) became Fidget Spinner Store on November 30, 2016 after the start of the increase of fidget spinners.

Though it was never owned by ATBW themselves, Fidget Spinner Store had sold ATBW-Themed Fidget Spinners during its rise in 2017. In January of 2017, the number of stores jumped from 120 in December 2016 to 560 in January 2017, and by February 2017, at least 8,000 more of those stores opened amid the 2017 fidget spinner trend, which exploded in popularity in 2017 (though similar devices NOT fidget spinners date as far back as 1993).

In April 2017, the number 8,000 from February 2017 was 16,500 in April 2017 and counting. The situation got so bad that they opened more stores across from each other. This situation got so bad that cities and even states mandated laws and restrictions of those stores in effort to limit the addiction. On July 11, 2017, Fidget Spinner Store began quietly closing its stores, with 12,000 in October 2017. By March 2018, only 600 were left (8 out of 10 of the closed stores became CCTV Gift Shop Stores). As of February 2020, only 76 Fidget Spinner Stores remain, with most of its former stores being CCTV Gift Shop Stores as said previously above.

Buyout of Fidget Spinner Store
CCTV Productions, which owns CCTV Gift Shop, has bought 95% of the remaining fidget spinner stores ans rebranded them into CCTV Gift Shop Stores in late March of 2018. The other ones closed have become different stores, 7-elevens or restaurants. The 76 remaining still open were moved to a spinoff company of Fidget Spinner Store, founded on the same day, which holds the stores, selling both fidget spinners and fidget cubes.
