It was a fun place to take kids.  We bought a lot of Nintendo games there in th 90's.

I stopped going there because they let their electronic/gaming section go downhill

We have two grandchildren, but don't go there very often.  For one thing, I don't like their return policy, and I think I've only made one or two returns in the past 30 years.  They now require that you allow them to input your driver's license information into their system.  I don't mind showing ID.  But, they end up having your credit card AND driver's license ID in their records.  That's a hackers dream!  In fact, we've boycotted them the last two holiday seasons, for that very reason.

And, I'm sure it's a financial thing.  But, the two times we took the grandkids there this summer, there was no air conditioning.  We spent about 10 minutes in there and left.

I read it in the paper this weekend.  I thought the store parking lot always looked full.  Maybe our store does well, who knows.  Time not a fan of the store.  My sister liked to shop there when her kids were young.  I went with her a couple times.

I have fun memories of doing my daughters Christmas shopping at toys r us back in the  80s. Last time I went into the same store was 2 years ago to buy some Christmas gifts for my grandsons. I found the store dark an depressing. Not the light, bright atmospherre that I remembered from years past, just old, dark and worn feeling. I now order all of their gifts from Amazon.

i have 1 an hour away.  I went this summer for toddler toys and outfits.  My 9 year old grandson is now looking on line and making out his birthday and Christmas list for me.  Toys R Us is an easy 1 stop for me as I can get what the 3 youngsters want.  I also like Baby's R Us.  It is a nice drive and while there I run down the road to my favorite undergarment store.

Not too surprised, last time I shopped there I found the prices unattractive.  Don't know too many people that shop there either......

I read that too.  Maybe, the holiday season will help out.

I haven't heard about it, but I plan on looking it up in a bit.

That's upsetting news.  We have a beautiful (and large!) Toys R Us/Babies R Us combined in my community.  My girls are still little (3 and 6), so we do quite a bit of shopping there for holidays, birthdays, etc.  It's always pretty busy, so I'm hoping they stay open.

I only shopped online from TRU during the holiday season so I'll  shop Amazon. Guess it's just a sign of the times. Our local mall looks as if it's ready to close up any day, one anchor store remains.
