Toys “R” Us is announcing plans to open 120 new standalone stores across the United States for the holiday season. Multiple outlets describe the effort as part of a broader expansion under new ownership.
The company is not returning to its former scale. Toys “R” Us previously operated more than 1,000 U.S. locations before filing for bankruptcy in 2017. After that restructuring period, it has continued to re-enter parts of the market, including through retail formats that can include toys and other consumer products.
Outlets differ mainly in emphasis. Forbes frames the openings as a continuation of a growth trajectory, while My Nintendo News provides additional context about the chain’s past footprint and its history of selling video games and consoles. Breitbart, citing reporting via the New York Post, highlights that the locations are announced in two states and that the company plans to place stores nationwide by the holiday period.
