Fix-It Shop



The Fix-It Shop is a business on Sesame Street run by married couple Luis and Maria. They can repair just about anything, though the considerable number of toasters they are seen fixing suggests that that appliance is their specialty. The toasters they have fixed have come in a spectrum of sizes, including giant ones dropped off by Mr. Snuffleupagus and his family. In the days before Snuffy was seen by the grown-ups, many people were perplexed by the sheer size of these toasters.

The Fix-It Shop opened in Episode 0330 as the L and R Fix-It Shop. It was originally run by Luis and Rafael. Their first job was repairing Susan's broken picture frame. Rafael left the show after season three, however, and the shop was thereafter simply called the Fix-It Shop. The Fix-It Shop was opened in a building that was previously a library. Maria later got a job at the Fix-It Shop, and she became a full partner in Episode 1563.

The Fix-It Shop is located next door to Hooper's Store. A workbench on the sidewalk in front of the shop allows Maria and Luis extra space for their repair work.

In 2002, the business went into the information age and became the Mail-It Shop, but as of 2006's Episode 4109, Maria and Luis had converted the store back, with no on-screen explanation why.
