I remember Ellia Kassoff had been working with pop up retailers, like Party City, to help with Kaybee's revival. I can't imagine he is too pleased with them running with his idea.

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... -
Could this be the Mego Corporation retail partner? -

I'm guessing Party City realized that the KB guy has nothing and is full of BS, but decided there might be a market for this. And since they were the ones putting up all the capital, why not just do it themselves and cut out the flim-flam middle man?Comment

I'm aware. I still think he's 90% smoke and mirrors, especially as it relates to KB Toys. As I've said before, I'm open to being proven wrong about that, but the whole thing smells funny to me. And there's a big difference between bringing back some old candy/cookies in your uncle's candy factory and opening up 200 stores. He's a big "marketing" guy, which means he's great at getting attention for vaporware. In addition to "bringing back" KB Toys he's bringing back like 10 other closed department stores. As of yet, he's produced nothing other than talk. I'm sure he's figured out a way to get money from such ventures, but it isn't by creating profitable stores.
But he goes around calling himself the "CEO of KB Toys" among other dubious claims.
It has about as much validity as me saying I'm the CEO of Zayre's.Comment
