I worked for babies r us from September of 06 to April of 15. I saw the writing on the wall of the slow down after they bought thete compition and the battle of Bane Capital with the buyout killing them off. When I left my baby store, my manager said the company was in 2 billion in debt. We were both looking to leave. I found new employment and he was able to retire in March of 16. Toys over priced themselves and allowed Amazon to see there inventory style and ran with to become a better place to buy toys. Towards the end, they could not make payments to thier suppliers and one instance owd Crayola Company 34 million in either 2016 or 2017. It is sad Charles Lazarus saw his company go under. Great video by the way!

Ahhh yeah, I worked there as a seasonal employee turned permanent for about a year. This was in 2005-2006. From what I remember things were clean in my toys r us but I was gone before they looked nasty! Sorry to hear you had to jump ship after putting in that time. I work with a guy now who was a manager from 90 until 2002. He said even then it was bad! Sheesh! And thanks man, I plan on doing more of these style videos in the future, when I have the time.

That cool fresh plastic smell when the doors of the place would open. The video game cage you’d have to bring the paper slip to after buying the game at the front. Working there as a teenager and seeing new stocks of toys being brought in. It was a magical time for sure. Don’t be sad that it’s gone, be happy it happened 😊

I miss Toys RUS I love Toys r Us 😍

I grew up with Toys R Us. I used to love to eat dinner and then stop by the Toys R Us down the road from us. I could spend hours walking around the store. Looking at everything! I used to love the Mego Superheroes action figures back in the 70's. Of course Hot Wheels and Matchbox as well. Tyco & AFX slot car racing too. Then of course came Star Wars! Those days were truly magical! Especially during 🎄Christmas🎄time! Everything was so fun to see. Just walking into the store gave me, and still does give me goose bumps thinking about it now. I had the Atari 2600 and I remember taking the🚏🚍bus🚏🚍 alone for the FIRST TIME! Well not exactly alone. I had a friend who came with me so I could buy the Atari 2600 version of Donkey Kong. Ugh! LOL! So many great childhood memories! So many wonderful adventures and experiences happened inside or because of that store. It's really sad that kids nowadays won't have the chance to see and experience what it was like to walk into a store dedicated to TOYS and ONLY TOYS! From 🚲Bikes🚲 and 🚂🚃🚃Trains🚅🚄, to 🕹Video🕹Games🕹, it's the biggest Toy Store there is, GEE WHIZ! I don't want to grow up, cuz` if I did, I wouldn't be a Toys R Us kid! Those days again were truly MAGICAL! And so much FUN! I can honestly say that I really miss those days and especially that store!

I got the chance to go on the ferris wheel when the flagship store was open when I was a kid. Good memories. :)

They’re back in Macys apparently. These smaller stores don’t compare to the BIG stores as I remember them. Good times
