I had heard awhile ago that KB toys was struggling... They closed about 300 or so of their stores...

It turns out both KB and Toys r us are struggling...

As for them being just toys.... Kids r us and Babies r us... Those aren't toys...

I dunno if all the TRU stores are going out of business, or if it's like KB did awhile ago where they closed a chunk of their stores...

So, where would people buy their toys if not at KB Toys or Toys R Us? That doesn't make sense that they would be going out of business. But, I haven't really been paying attention to the toy business.

Stupid WalMart, killing all the little companies!

My point was that people identify the name "" R Us with toys. You think of that company and the first thing that comes to your mind is "toy store" so if there were no more Toys R Us, the stores would suffer.

Like Rainman says: "Toys 'R Us sucks!"


I hope they do the same in Holland... even though they never had much stuff... they're supposed to be some very large toy store... but they have like 100 units of the same type... instead of 2 units of 50 types.

What I mean is... not broad selection, just a lot of copies.

Toys R Us is not going out of business. I have been working for them for over a year and I can assure you that this discount process has been going on for some time. They do it to bring in customers and to clean out inventory they don't want anymore. They do however plan to restructure their brand by separating Toys R US operations from Babies R Us which is booming at the time being.

On the other hand, KB Toys most definitely is going out of business. At least where I live.

Sounds too much like "all your babies are belong to us" to me.
