Once the world’s largest and most iconic toy store, famous for its jingle “I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toys ‘R’ Us kid!” and its mascot, Geoffrey the Giraffe, Toys 'R' Us once operated over 1,600 stores in 35 countries.

However, things took an unfortunate turn for the company in 2017 when Toys 'R' Us filed for bankruptcy and announced they would closing all of their U.S. stores, resulting in over 30,000 employees losing their jobs.

In 2019, two small Toys 'R' Us stores opened in New Jersey and Texas, giving hope that the iconic, nostalgic toy store could be making a comeback.

Recently the ToysRUs.com website became active again, selling toys directly online.

Now, Toys 'R' Us has announced they will be opening 30 store locations across the U.S. in time for 2025 holiday shopping, and one location is right here in Louisiana.

As a matter of fact, the Louisiana location is already open!
