Brick-and-mortar Toys “R” Us stores are back! Well, kind of. Macy’s has announced the opening of Toys “R” Us stores at its retail locations in nine states, and stores in another 19 states are set to open before the holiday 2022 shopping season.
Some background: The iconic toy retailer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy back in 2017 and the last of the chain’s brick-and-mortar shops closed in January 2021 due to the pandemic. But then in August 2021, Toys “R” Us announced its comeback: It would partner with Macy’s to open stores-within-stores inside the department chain’s locations.
As Fox Business reports, the Toys “R” Us stores inside Macy’s range from between 1,000 square feet to 10,000 square feet in size, with larger flagship stores set to exist in Atlanta, Chicago, Honolulu, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and San Francisco.
Current Toys “R” Us locations that are now open inside Macy’s stores include 21 stores in California, three in Georgia, one in Illinois, two in Louisiana, two in Maryland, four in Missouri, two in New Jersey, two in Nevada, and four in New York. Dozens of other stores will open across California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Texas by October 15, 2022.
