I think another reason is they are kind of a bit more expensive. They had some good stuff. But they weren't a bit pricey.

Amazon didn't kill TRU, private equity firm with greedy ambitions killed it

It didn’t closed down in 2017 it closed down in 2018

It's not other factors is because the toys are too damn expensive and there was hardly anything there

Toys r Us executives killed Toys r Us. Their entire downfall was due to awful business decisions.

Toys R us didn't close because of Amazon. Toys R us closed it's because they have 5 billions Dollars of Debt. There was a Leveraged Buyout in 2005.

It doesn't seem to me that a company this big could get sadwiched between 2 giants like that...maybe they took the backseat so these new protegé could drive economy instead?

The toys were too expensive and Wallmart sells them more cheaply.

2018 was my baby life until toys r us were preparing to CLOSE

Thats why toys r us starts its villain arc on amazon

[danielferstendig]

It’s not entirely true. Kids love going to toys r us because it’s fun, until their employees yelled at the kids, made them cry so they never wanted to go back.

Oh wait, that just happened to us…. Or was it just us???

If they reopen they need to be big on kids and young adults technology and video games and have events and activities maybe even for a small fee like $5 or $10 sometimes because with all the online shopping people still want something to do with their kids!
