kakatiya Posted June 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Since then, there has been an outpouring of nostalgia for childhood toys shopping. There is dread of a holiday season without the often slightly disorganized Toys R Us stores. December will also be the first without Toys R Us's founder, Charles P Lazarus, who passed away in March. There has been anger too. Roughly 30,000 workers are out of a job and no one is getting a severance. Former employees have started groups, the Dead Giraffe Society, to share resumes and experiences.

The reason toysrus declined in sale because ..new generation kids purchasing more video games from GameStop, Target and Walmart..while occasionally buying toys in the same trips to Target and Walmart... So toys sales didn't became main stream...hence toysrus lost business.. also their maintenance Costas are huge and toys are more price than Walmart..
