🧸🚨 FROM ABANDONED STORES DUE TO BANKRUPTCY BACK IN 2018 TO A MAJOR RETAIL COMEBACK — TOYS “R” US IS BACK! 🦒🎉
For years, many former Toys “R” Us locations sat empty after the company’s bankruptcy and the closure of its U.S. stores. Those once-busy buildings became a reminder of how quickly the retail landscape had changed.
But now, the iconic toy retailer is making a massive comeback. Toys “R” Us has announced plans to open 120 new U.S. stores, its biggest expansion in years. 🏬🧸
The comeback is being fueled by more than childhood nostalgia. The modern Toys “R” Us is also targeting collectors, adults, families and fans of toys and pop culture, while bringing back the in-store experience that made the brand famous.
Think about it: places that once looked abandoned and forgotten could soon be filled with kids, parents, shoppers and collectors again. ❤️
And of course… Geoffrey the Giraffe is back where he belongs. 🦒💛
This is one of those retail comeback stories that feels almost surreal.
Did you ever shop at Toys “R” Us before the original stores disappeared? What was the toy you wanted most as a kid? 👇
