I'm skeptical it can be done. But hopefully TRU can be revived in the US.

Toys R Us lenders cancel auction plan to revive brand.
You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Tags: None -
I'm skeptical too. Sucks for all those people who lost their jobs and then... oops, just kidding.
I wonder what's going on with the Kay Bee revival as well. -

I bet Toys R Us will be mainly an online business with a few brick and mortar stores scattered around the country, in large cities.

First part of the revival. Geoffrey's Toy Box.
"He says that Geoffrey's Toy Box will launch this November as a "shop-within-a-shop" concept, debuting with "a prominent Midwest retailer."

^ That’s smart to get back into the market during the holidays. I’m rooting for them. Even though it’s more we’ll beyond tacky to lay-off thousands of employees only to reopen, it’s great for the toy industry, including Mego. Maybe they can pull it off. Though, I can’t imagine they’ll ever be a business of the scale that they once were. Keep it much smaller and mainly online but with some stores, ones that are smaller than before.

I agree. It's the quickest way to get back on the shelves and in people's hearts and minds while rebuilding the brand. There's no way they could have re-opened stores in time for the holiday. I'm hoping for store re-openings in 2019.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion.

^ I think that’s realistic. Maybe by the holiday season of 2019 some free standing stores will be open along with some online business.

I really hope TRU does come back as a retail store chain in the US. Even if only as smaller KB sized stores. I've really missed TRU. They were always my go to store for Transformers and Monster High because the Target and Walmart stores in my area were always stocked so poorly.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

Sounds promising, I think. It’s tough to tell if this will materialize into actual stand alone stores. It seem the new owners aren’t the sure either. Fingers crossed for next holiday season or something in 2020.

I'm guessing we will see online shopping return and maybe some pop up stores as early as fall 2019. But it will take years to get back to where they were with permanent retail stores.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.
