Not your grandfather’s Toys “R” Us

This isn’t the first time that the Toys “R” Us brand has made a comeback.

The original company, a retail mainstay for decades, sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2017. It had struggled with debt for years in the wake of a private equity buyout deal in 2005.

The toy retailer closed roughly 800 stores in 2018. 

In October 2018, Tru Kids Brands bought the Toys “R” Us brands and intellectual property. And the following year, the company opened several smaller stores during the holiday season.

Brand acquisition company WHP Global snatched up a controlling stake in Tru Kids in 2021. This acquisition led the toy retailer to partner with Macy’s. The department store began promoting Toys “R” Us shops in its department stores and selling its products online.

WHP Global first partnered with Go Retail Group in 2023, at the time announcing plans to roll out Toys “R” Us stores nationwide.
