(Dallas, Texas) – For many of us Gen-Xers like myself, Toys R Us holds a special place in our hearts. It was a thrill to walk into the store to pick out a new toy or latest video game. I still remember picking up games there for my Sega Genesis at the Toys R Us in Tyler.
I’d have to pull the card from the sleeve, pay for it, then walk over to the window to pick it up and take it home. As a toy collector, I still visited the store on Loop 323 from time to time to see if any new Transformers came in or to find something new for my PlayStation 3. I picked up a lot of stuff when they closed in 2017.
Toys R Us Plans New Stores in 2025
WHP Global bought Toys R Us in 2021 and has been giving the toy store a bit of a comeback tour (WFAA). They opened a few locations inside various stores including Macy’s in Frisco. The last time I was in Frisco, I made it a point to check it out. It was kinda disappointing but still cool to see Geoffrey the Giraffe on some signs…
