Toys ‘R’ Us
At the time of writing, there are plans for a return for the popular children’s store chain Toys ‘R’ Us, but it’s unlikely to live up to its former glory. Perhaps the idea of an enormous store filled with every possible toy all in the same place was too glorious to last. It seemed perfectly normal at the time, but in the era of online shopping, it’s hard to imagine this model actually making financial sense.
