What became of your former Toys R Us location/store?

[apes3978]

The Toys R Us we had here in town has been turned into a gym/fitness center...

Anything move into the former stores in your locale?

[msenger76]

closest was a spirit halloween, and then became an Ollies

next closest became a big lots

[phil]

The closest one has been sitting empty except during the Halloween season when it becomes a Spirit store. The next closest is an appliance store I think.

[LonnieFisher]

I think the one I used to go to is still sitting empty. At least it was last time I passed by.

[powersthatbe]

one by me became a Dick's sporting goods another became a medical center.

[Dark Shadow]

The one out here still sits empty, except every Halloween when it becomes a costume store...not sure of the name, other than it's not Spirit.

Mine turned into an RV dealership

Ours became a Big Lots. I went in to check it out and they did some nice remodeling (new floor, new lights, etc). But I looked into some of the supply/stock rooms and you can still see the TRU colors on the walls.

If anyone needs/wants a TRU shopping cart I can hook you up. Just sayin.

The one next to the Houston VA was just turned into a grocery store, I will take pics on the 19th. It is a store I have never heard of.

The one here in town closed several years before TRU went out for good. It was a Spirit Halloween store for 3-4 years and then became a Planet Fitness. The one a couple towns over, which survived until the bitter end, was a Halloween store last I knew, I haven't been over that way sine the pandemic hit, so I don't know it is it still vacant except at Halloween or if something else has moved in.

the closest one is now Burlington Coat Factory

[Bruce Banner]

The large TRU super store closest to me (UK) sat empty for a few months, then it was taken over by another large toy retailer (Smyths), so at least the premises is still being used as a toy store.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Our closest store is also now a Burlington Coat Factory, after being a Spirit Store the first Halloween after the closure. It sat empty in-between.

Let's see...one in New Hartford became a gym. The one in Clay became an RV dealership. Not sure about the one in Syracuse.

My closest TRU was part of the Phillipsburg NJ mall

Think I heard on the local news the entire place is about to be demolished

Still kicking myself for not buying that Steve McQueen Great Escape with motorcycle 12" GI Joe figure

Also, all them Ultimate Soldier WW2 airplanes !!!

What was I thinking buying Grease and Brady Bunch figures ???

I am so stupid !!!
