Tosche Station is a Star Wars themed Independent Comic and Toy shop that is named after a place referenced in Star Wars: A New Hope (see below for further description). The indoor shopping center has two entrances and both lead to the same atrium. The Sign is done in the style of the Star Wars logo so it is hard to miss.

----------------------------------
"Tosche Station was a power station and repair shop on the outskirts of Anchorhead on the desert world of Tatooine, owned by Merl Tosche and operated by Laze Loneozner. During the time of the Galactic Civil War, Loneozner was friends with Luke Skywalker and Biggs Darklighter, who, prior to becoming a member of the Rebel Alliance, spent time at the station with Lonezner, his girlfriend Camie Marstrap, and other youth from Anchorhead. After witnessing a battle between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire in the skies over Tatooine, Skywalker told his friends about what he had seen, but they did not believe it had been a battle. It was at Tosche Station that Darklighter informed Skywalker that he was defecting from the Empire to join the Rebel Alliance.
After the Battle of Yavin, Skywalker reminisced he never picked up the power converters he mentioned before he left Tatooine." - (
