Toys âRâ Us opening stores across U.S.: Here is where first location will be
Iconic retailer Toys “R” Us is expanding its comeback.
According to a release from the company, Toys “R” Us is joining with Go! Retail Group to roll out flagship stores across the U.S. beginning in 2024. Locations will include airports and cruise ships, starting in November with the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
“The Toys”R”Us brand is growing fast and our expansion into air, land and sea is a testament to the brand’s strength,” said Yehuda Shmidman, Chairman and CEO of WHP Global. “Since acquiring Toys”R”Us, we have increased our global retail footprint by more than 50% with openings in the United States, United Kingdom, India, Dubai, and Mexico. We now have over 1,400 stores and e-commerce sites across 31 countries, and as we head into 2024, we are excited to bring Toys”R”Us to consumers everywhere, whether you’re visiting one of our stores at Macy’s, at our flagships, in an airport, or onboard a cruise ship.”
Sites for additional stores haven’t been announced but the company said in a statement the new Toys “R” Us will be open in “prime locations” that complement the existing retail footprint of Macy’s.
Toys “R” Us closed its stand-alone stores in 2017 after filing for bankruptcy. It returned in 2022 with 452 pop-up shows at Macy’s stores across the country. The chain also opened a 20,000-square-foot store at American Dream in New Jersey.
