After their bankruptcy in 2017, the Toys"R Us name has been tossed around a bit. It seems Tru Kids Inc. bought the brand in 2018 hoping to open in malls around the U.S. but later sold Toys R Us to WHP Global which now owns it. There was some difficulty opening the store due to the COVID-19 pandemic but has recently been revived in Macy's stores.
Have you been to Toy R Us in the past? We used to have one across town. Too bad it had financial issues.

I was delighted when I went to the US to spend over half a day in there. It was a true kids paradise. I´m sorry they closed.

@celticeagle Seems we have to go to a mass market place for toys - like Target or Walmart.

I do remember seeing a Toys R Us store in the Fat City section of Metairie Louisiana many years ago. But I never entered inside the store.

It's been 30 or 40 years since I was in a Toys R Us store. Have a good day.
