Toys R Us tries a comeback, again (The Washington Post)

Toys R Us, which filed for bankruptcy and closed all of its 800 U.S. stores four years ago, is opening shops in every Macy's in America.

After serving in the Army during World War II, the District native started a baby-furniture store, reasoning that an ensuing baby boom would make child-related retail a success. But the industry trends that contributed to Toys R Us’s initial downfall are still in place. By January 2021, the two reopened stores were closed, though online stores were kept open.

Toys R Us is coming back to Charlotte — and we are all ready to be ... (Charlotte Observer)

Toys R Us is coming back to the Macy's in two Charlotte malls. Some of the Charlotte Observer staff recounted their experiences of visiting the toy store.

That’s when we’d take a trip to Toys R Us to get all the party supplies for my birthday and where I could drool over all the possible gifts I would point out to my parents. There was always a clamor on the weekends and especially all the days leading up to Christmas. And the check out lines, well, as Mom, I also had on comfortable sneakers and sweats.” I remember children playing with the displays and other already opened toys, as if Toys R Us was some kind of toy-petting-zoo. Melissa Oyler, CharlotteFive Editor: “My siblings and I had our own aisles at Toys R Us (not officially, of course). But on each of our birthdays, Mom would drive us from Fort Mill to the corner of Tyvola Road and South Boulevard in Charlotte. The birthday kid, armed with money from Aunt Nancy and Grandmama, would get to choose where to shop. Strolling the aisles of Toys R Us and choosing a theme for my party was magical. First was my birthday, when I’d have a small gathering of friends over for a party and a cake all to celebrate me. Anna Douglas, The Charlotte Observer Deputy Managing Editor: “My older sister and I both remember really clearly the experience of getting the Toys R Us catalog in the mail ahead of Christmas. We would take turns with it, each using our own color marker to circle the items we most wanted. But the shared experience of doing this every year with the Toys R Us catalog is a special memory to us. Toys R Us was really just a Christmastime store for us but the memories are strong.” Genna Contino, The Charlotte Observer Local Government Reporter: “I distinctly remember going to the Pineville Toys R Us when I was in fifth grade to look for Harry Potter robes for a Halloween costume. I also remember visiting FAO Schwartz in New York City when I was little. Since we are feeling a bit nostalgic here in the newsroom, we asked our colleagues to share their experiences at toy stores growing up.
