Tom and Jerry Kids Clothing Shop Still Going Strong in Yambol

Tom and Jerry, Kids Clothing Shop, Going Strong, Yambol,

The Tom and Jerry kids clothing shop is still going strong due to there always being a demand for childrens' clothes. Tom (cat) and Jerry (mouse) went out of fashion in recent years due to the violence in the cartoons they made, (How ridiculous is that was so many violent films being made today!) This obviously hasn't made any difference here.
