Bring Back the Toys!


Toys 'R' Us looks to resurface from the grave by Christmas

What's left of the liquidated Toys 'R' Us chain hopes to mount a comeback and re-establish its brand in the U.S. and other markets by next year's holiday season, the Chicago Tribune reports. Tru Kids, a new entity begun by former Toys 'R' Us executives, is seeking licensing partners to re-establish its brand in the markets it abandoned when it closed in the U.K., Australia and the U.S., where it shuttered 800 retail locations, including stores in Cedar Rapids, Clive, Council Bluffs and Davenport. The new company is reportedly considering several options - among them, pop-up shops, stand-alone stores and partnerships with existing retail chains like Kroger grocery stores.
