California — Multiple Toys “R” Us stores could soon be opening up across California as the company continues its comeback years after filing for bankruptcy.
The popular toy company filed for bankruptcy in 2017. By the following year, all Toys “R” Us stores in the United States closed. But by 2022, Toys “R” Us began re-emerging, with small pop-up locations inside Macy’s stores.
“Toys R Us, under its second owner since its liquidation, has been resurrected in a rather unusually successful comeback for a retailer,” CoStar reported.
Now, the company is looking to establish itself once more as “the world’s greatest toy store.”
In addition to the Macy’s partnership, It’s opened some flagship stores at major American malls such as Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota an airport location at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and launched several partnerships to serve U.S. Navy bases, according to CoStar.
Toys “R” Us is looking to open 10 new flagship stores and 20 seasonal holiday shops before the end of the year, the company said in a statement last month. Already, there are Toys “R” Us flagship stores in Chicago and Texas.
Soon, people can expect to see a Toys “R” in these California cities:
