Our Toys R Us closed yesterday

It is very sad for us. When my 2 DD were small we practically lived there.
My 12 DD wanted to go in yesterday just to say goodbye.

They have been closing all of ours too! It is sad. I don't know where I will shop next Christmas.

I haven't heard about this, are they closing all of them, or just in certain areas?

I think ours is open till Tuesday, but nothing is really left in the store anymore, I think they are down in 90-95% off. Our Toys R Us was called Geoffrey's. Our store was one of the 1st ones in the U.S. and was suppose to be a model for others. I think more people used Geoffrey's for birthday parties than for anything else.

I bought our first "Playstation II" with a carrying case, 2 games and 2 controls for $199 and I got a big plush Winnie the Pooh. This was 5 years ago. They did have some decent sales and they did stay competitive with Walmart.

I wonder what happened. Now we have another empty building.
