History of Toys R Us 1948-2021 | Full Documentary 

As soon as I heard toys r us was going out of business I was so sad but then once I heard it will come back I was like YESSSS ITS COMING BACK

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!

Honestly this is a really good and thorough and kind entertaining documentary. Great job!

That’s sad that Charles passed away as soon as his company died 😔

Toys R Us is coming back inside of Macy's

Man I miss toys R us I went there as a baby and when It was gone I cried all day Im happy its back but its not the same

I’m very happy that it’s coming back, but I’m also very sad that it will never be like it once was back in 2013-2014 when I went there the most. I never went there much, but it was pure magic going there when I did.

I miss Toys R Us. Everytime we'd have to go out of town we'd stop at the Toys R Us and pick out toys. I still have a plush of Geoffrey that I got as a part of the Birthday Club. Thinking about the cool things that I saw and never cared about that I want now ;-;

I really miss when toys r us was around back then, I always use to rush to toys r us back 9-10 years ago when I was 7-8 & 9 years old trying to get my hands on the Beyblades metal fight tops they had over there and I just miss the nostalgia, just thinking about it wasn’t even a long time and missing those days soo much and just wasn’t also Beyblades I got too it was also lego city lego sets and Pokémon/YU-GI-YO and Nintendo games I’m crying my ass off 😭😭😭😭

I seen a commercial that Toys R Us is back in Macy's on Freeform when I was watching Disney Pixar's Up.

TOYS R US

What a wonderful job man I listen to the whole entire thing!

Now there are no action figures in Wal-Mart or target . And they are all triple the price on Amazon. Some one messed up somewhere . Bring back toys r us allready .

Back in 2020, the first International Kids”R”Us store opens

Toys “R” Us is making a comeback in Macy’s

22:35 Wow, I never knew they were still around. My "local" one was around 25 miles away, but it did have the best toys back when I was a kid. I remember getting a bunch of the McQuarrie Star Wars concept art figures for dirt cheap when they had a sale.

My cousin who was much older worked at toys r us and sometimes when I was little I’d go to work with him he was Geoffrey the giraffe so I would walk around with him

Bring toys r us and blockbusters back to the uk both my childhood shops went down unfortunately 😢😭😢😭

Says that 2007 version of Geoffrey the Giraffe with the reason why Toys R Us went to bankruptcy haven't you seen the 1965 and the 2001 Abominations of Geoffrey the giraffe

I really miss Toys "R" Us. I bought toys from Toys "R" Us, Including Playmobil Pirates, LEGO Pirates, Ertl Thomas & Friends, Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway, Pirates of the Caribbean, Fisher-Price Imaginext Pirates, K'Nex Pirate Ship and Mega Bloks Pirates.

The good thing is that Portugal and Spain bought Toys Ur Us and the stores never close

I really hope to see Toy R Us come back in the UK again someday it they managed to make a comeback which I really do hope

I really want toy r us to come back I been trying to get my hands on fnaf merch its SAD that its gone😭

8:32 jump 🤓🤙

I don’t think anyone would believe this, but Toys R Us is open again!

Happy toys r us is back best place on earth

You forgot to mention R Market, that time Toys R Us decided to have a grocery department. Not many people were fond of this.

The only toys r us in my area closed down maybe 2018. The building still stands, and you can still see the outline of the Logo. Not even a Spirit Halloween has been there since it closed as it was rather small.

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!

but in 2020 it revived in the United States here in Spain it continues to maintain and open new Toys "R" Us stores

They came back on December 17th

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

I wasn’t even born in 2003 so I didn’t even have a chance to know about Kids r us so I learned something new

Just glad to see videos I been thinking about. You should continue to make videos like this. I would love to watch how GameStop bought out all other mom and pop game stores. Gamestop reminds me of the modern blockbuster.

Toys R Us is coming back next year!!! 🦒

Not a bad video at all, I think your McDonald's one is much better though. This one is more like a conversation and much looser than the more focused, stream of info from the other documentary. Hope to see more from you!

Toys R Us is Coming Back in 2022 it will Made 400 Stores

This takes so memories 🥺😢

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

New Event: 2022: Toys R Us Comes Back On UK

There is a Toys R Us store on the third floor of the Macy's store in Oak Brook, Illinois.

i remember having a toys r us toy truck

i remember buying nes games there going home finishing it in a day or 2 and returning it for something else they catch on after a few times lol

I missed that store I haven't seen them since last time I went there in Rockford Illinois

When I was a kid toys are us. Was pretty cool. The store was huge.

I miss Toys RUS I love Toys r Us 😍

Hey I am 10 Years old and I never went to Toys R Us so I liked your video cause how it went out of business

Personally Ilike the brown roof ones the most

It’s coming back This year

I’m kind of glad I never saw the 2001 design of Geoffrey as a kid. I’d probably be terrified.

I miss toy r Us. I remember 1980s me and my brother sometime go there like he man Master of the universe figure. 👍

There was a Toys R Us Express in Illinois back in the 1980s but permanently closed due to the blues brothers slamming their car into Dixie Square Mall via Toys R Us Express and JCPenny the mall was demolished in 2010 after 30 years of abandonment

I remember when they redone the store they didn't close down the store they just closed most of the store and had a tiny part opened

I love toys r us it's my favorite store ever and target to

And even this one has made a massive jump I can't remember but last time I looked at it I think I remembered 128 129 or even 130k. Definitely not no 136k and I very very visibly remember seeing 120k at one point absolutely unbelievable keep up all the hard work brother I am so incredibly proud of you and I could not envy you because I know how hard you work for this and I hope all of these comments I have recently left will not just be spam or words of affirmation but will cause the gods of RU-vid to spike these videos even more. 👏👏👏

I pray it comes back to New York. I want them to come to Long Island NY and I want a big one 😩🦒

7:08 Little doe eyes dinkley!

21:42 - 21:43

I feel as though this man should have merged with Walmart and called it “Geoffrey’s WallyWorld”😂

It’s coming back this year

R.i.p toysRus

There were a few locations still open in 2019 and didn't survive the year.

I love Toys R Us

Wait your area? You said the two where in Paramus and Brooklyn. So your from Bergen county or NYC?!

COVID 19 did not ruin toys r us to closed….

It's a good thing a have a OUJIA BOARD FROM THAT STOR5

It’s actually pronounced Pa-ram-us. I’m from Bergen country New Jersey I would know as I’ve been to that town countless times.

It's coming back things to Macy's

Let’s appreciate how much he adds in his videos 👇

Come to Canada!

On my 7th birthday it closed down that was a sad birthday

Toys я us

Geoffrey nostalgia childhood memories

Actually I’m going out of business because Geoffrey hated their others stores I own now toys r us is cool

When Toys R Us comes back, I hope They make a BIG Cool store at Mall Of America Here in Minnesota like The one at American Dream Mall over in New Jersey! And, I also want Toys R Us to bring back The Nickelodeon Toy Factory and Nickelodeon’s Super Toy Run! In fact, I think Toys R Us should give Geoffrey Giraffe and His Family Their own Animated Series on Nickelodeon!😂🤣😍❤️📺🎶🎁👍🏻#Nickelodeon #ToysRUs

Toys r us

I remember barging town

pour one our for toys r us!

Yes, i did dislike your video because i disagreed with your opinion on Geoffrey's latest look. Yet, i did find the video very informative and entertaining. You did a great job explaining what happened to Toys "R" Us, but i still disliked the video as a petty act ._.

The bad thing is she's not liked the 2007 geoffrey like still but is still a good new makeover and i liked the makeover but why?

This Toys R Us vid looks like it's still climbing as well anyhow I will have this comment to reflect back on 128k I think from 121 to 125k last time I looked.

yesssss toys r us is back now i can buy lego agin

That is where doctor martin king junior died

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

on toys r us in the 50s 🧸🧸🧸🧸🦒

They didn’t need Babies R Us or Kids R Us. There was no reason a Toys r Us couldn’t sell kids and baby clothes…You didn’t need a whole separate store.

We still got Toy Rs us in Ontario

nathan spies’ video was longer

4 words... Thank God Macy's Exists

*Canada metrotown has left the chat*

I noticed that all the Toys "R" Us storers that are open Are because they don't have their kids stuck in video games!.... they're still in the living like they were in the nineties!. that's one of the reasons why they closed here in the USA because people were stuck to the TV instead of playing with action figures and barbies etc.....

Babies and Toddler and kids and children and tweens and pre teens and Teens and young adults and adults and seniors aka old people need to play toys 🧸 !!!

I went to Toys “R” Us before

It's a pity toy manufacturers are super greedy high priced boutiques now instead of creating affordable toys.

what could have helped Toys r Us survive is this them getting acquired by Nintendo maybe not all of it maybe just 50% and Disney could get the other 50%

Dude they went broke of course Jeffery was falling off 😮😢🍽️🦒

I worked there

Who heard Charles Lazarus R Us

8:22

And now Macy’s owns them
