Toys “R” Us Canada is planning to relaunch its brand by opening Toys “R” Us shopping areas inside Staples Canada stores, with rollout expected to reach about 300 locations by the end of 2027. Coverage from multiple outlets says the plan also includes a new “Parties “R” Us” department alongside Toys “R” Us within participating Staples stores.
The outlets attribute the changes to the new owner of Toys “R” Us Canada, describing a partnership model rather than standalone toy retail. City News Toronto adds that Staples says it has reached a deal with Next Century Ipco Can ULC to bring Toys “R” Us and Parties “R” Us sections to Staples locations, implying a structured agreement between the parties behind the relaunch.
While all sources focus on the target number of stores and the timeline, they vary slightly in the details emphasized—some foreground the combined concept of Toys “R” Us and Parties “R” Us departments, while others more explicitly describe the retailer partnership and the companies involved.
