Toys R Us went bankrupt last year and closed down ALL of it's stores not just in the UK but across the world. Unfortunately children don't understand the dynamics of highly indebted corporate balance sheets. So Eliza was upset on her 4th birthday drip to discover the store shuttered and closed , so here's a trip down memory late of what it was like to shop at Toys R Us before our local store in Sheffield closed down mid 2018.

However, now there are hopes that at least some of the Toys R Us stores can open for Christmas 2019 as Tru Kids has announced 12 US stores are to open, so perhaps behind the scenes there could be plants towards a handful of the UK's 106 stores also opening for Christmas.
