The only Toys R Us stores left in the United States are closing. I didn't know they were still open, but they are closing for good.

They were reopened stores from an attempted relaunchYou must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie Banks -
I honestly never knew that relaunch ever happened. Very sad, but not surprising.

They weren't real TRU stores. Some of the investors wrangled the name, promised a big "comeback" and then opened up 2 stores that were nothing like TRU. They basically carried nothing and were there so that you try out toys and buy them online. I likened it to less the return of TRU but someone digging up TRU's corpse and parading it's very lifeless rotting body around town while shouting "Look I'm back and better than ever" behind them while everyone looks and stares in disgust.Comment

At least the Canadian ones are still around. Looking forward to going back to the two on Vancouver Island. Nanaimo and Victoria. Gotta share the experience with my kids so they know how it feels. Won't be like the 70s and 80s but close enough.Comment
