Toys R Us Official Announcement

The first two new Toys R Us stores — one in Texas, the other in New Jersey — will open in November as part of a small comeback of the defunct iconic toy chain in the U.S.

The CEO of Tru Kids Brands Richard Barry, who is himself a former Toys R Us executive says that online opportunities would follow the opening of the two stores, and that additional details would follow.
