Are You Getting One of the New Toys R US Stores Opening Before Christmas 2019?

One year after closing its remaining US locations, Toys R Us is planning to open two new mall stores as part of a modest comeback. The new locations (in Houston, TX and Paramus, NJ) are scheduled to open in November 2019, just before Christmas. Richard Barry, CEO of Tru Kids Brands, says the company is planning to offer a revamped online experience as well.

The shopping experience in these new mall locations will look and feel different than the one you may remember from the company’s pre-bankruptcy era.

The new stores will be much smaller than the previous ones (about one-third of the size). Their layout may feel unfamiliar too as there will be fewer packaged toys on display to allow for more open play areas, interactive displays, and spaces for special events and birthday parties.

Could these two new stores be an indication of a larger comeback in the works? “We think that this is going to be scalable, and we think we can grow the business over time,” said Barry.

Outside the U.S., Toys R Us continues to operate about 800 stores with plans to open 70 more stores this year in Asia, India, and Europe.

Could the ToysRUs Brand Be Making a Comeback?

The links in the post below may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

Just when we thought the ToysRUs brand was gone forever, we’re given a glimmer of hope that they may make a comeback. According to the Wall Street Journal, a group of hedge funds in line to take control of ToysRUs is making plans to revive the business behind the company brand names.

In fact, ToysRUs said in court papers that while it received qualified bids for assets, it has opted to forgo a bankruptcy auction for its brand name and other intellectual-property assets.

Instead, the proposed reorganization plan contemplates “a new, operating Toys ‘R’ Us and Babies ‘R’ Us branding company that maintains existing global license agreements and can invest in and create new, domestic, retail operating businesses” under the brand name. This means that the new retail stores will likely have a very different look than what we are used to – and what they previously had.

Plus, it appears that they’re also looking to push new brands internationally. According to a press release by Geoffrey, LLC, the reorganized brand could include a portfolio of over 20 well-known toy and baby brands, such as Imaginarium, Koala Baby, Fastlane, and Journey Girls.

Do you think ToysRUs will make a comeback?
