We have family game day, so when we heard that Toys ‘R Us was going out of business and some stores have their stuff 40% off, we drove to town to see if we might get a couple of new games.
The last time we were in G’RU was about 20 years ago (our kids were leaving the nest). At the time the ENTIRE right and rear walls of the store were floor to 20 feet up board games. Any board game you’d want, it was family heaven!
Now? 1 SHORT aisle of young children’s board games, and a whole store full of Chinese junk. It didn’t take us long to see a major reason for their declining revenue. We bought nothing.
Even at Christmas time I could rarely find a good reason to part with my money at Toys r us. They won’t even mention the name of the one single holiday that pays most of the bills!!! Overpriced, nothing unique about the store, no customer service. Just no reason to shop there. The kids could care less.
