Toys R Us lives

They will have to start from the bottom up. They sold their warehouses, distribution centers and most of the stores. The earliest they can probably get some stores opened up would be May 2019.

The store down the street from me still sits empty:) This is positive news and I hope they can get it going again.

Wouldn't be surprised if we see some pop-up stores in the mall first. Though, all of the TRU's in Houston are still up with the name still on the building and the only business that seem to have filled some of the stores are temporary stores for Halloween shops. 

Read the article while listening to this.....I promise you wont regret it.

the 2 by me are empty but still have all the signs and logos on the buildings.

It was only a matter of time before the name resurfaced. The IP has too much value not to. But it's good to see it possibly happening sooner than later. I'd imagine the liquidation firms realized there's a huge gap in the toy market and the TRU brand got tens of millions of dollars worth of free publicity and goodwill as it went out of business.

Reorganizing will take some time, but you'd be amazed how quickly a supply chain can be build with the dollars and hiring people who know what they're doing.

That would be cool.
I’ll wait a while to get excited about it

If Kay Bee does end up returning too that's basically what we had with them.

If KayBee or TRU do open new stores, the only thing they'll have in common with the old companies is a name and logo. It'll be an entirely new company, new management, and probably new approach. But they'll have the benefit of a name and brand that people associate with toys. When these topics come up it seems like sometimes people think they'll just be a continuation of the old company.

It's basically just the intellectual property - everything else will be built from scratch. It may be great, it may be terrible. But more buying options are always a plus as far as I'm concerned.
