Toys 'R' Us Celebrates Its Official Reopening In Macy's Stores With Weeklong Activities
Toys "R" Us officially reopened Saturday inside some Macy's department stores. Some locations are celebrating through a weeklong event.
Toys "R" filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September 2017 and closed 735 stores. In August 2021, brand acquisition and management firm WHP Global announced that the toy retailer would open over 400 stores within Macy's in 2022.
The move comes as the holiday shopping season approaches.
Toys "R" Us opened a two-story flagship store in the American Dream mall in New Jersey in December 2021 and in August opened locations inside Macy's stores in California, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, and New York.
