The prop shop where Britney Spears claims she rented her famous dancin’ knives is seeing a big boost in sales after the shout-out … and it’s helped pull the store out of a financial hole.
The manager of Hand Prop Room in L.A. tells TMZ … online traffic and calls to the shop have doubled since Brit name-dropped their spot Thursday on Instagram. Rental sales for their props, especially knives, have gone up 50%.
We’re told everyone in the sales department has been getting calls from people asking about the singer and her knives — the manager has been fielding tons of calls about Britney.
The manager says Britney is partially to thank for saving the store … the place has been struggling during the writers’ and actors’ strikes this year.
The entertainment industry is the shop’s bread and butter, but no work meant fewer rentals … leading to a big financial struggle.
He says the store’s been bumping her songs nonstop ever since her post — so the promotion goes both ways!

She doubled down on the prop knife claim Thursday, claiming her team rented the props from Hand Prop Room — also confirming her dangerous moves were inspired by Shakira‘s VMA performance.
