It's widespread news now, that after so many decades in business, Toys'R'Us is closing it's doors. While they weren't our first destination, we did shop and stop there frequently, and both my girls attended the in-store birthday celebrations. As the only local big-box store with Calico Critters, I'm sad we're now reduced to Amazon for the deals and our over-priced smaller local chain for products.
Ours was a Babies'R'Us and Toys'R'Us, and when my girls were babies I went here every other week to stock up on food, bottle parts, training cups and more. It was well-maintained, the staff very friendly and items well-stocked. I was aware of the price-matching policy and took advantage of it often, but not excessively so.
My sadness stems more from nostalgia, as I'm old enough to remember the jingle, LOL. That, and where else could you find so many toys in one place?
I suggest calling your local stores to see what the discounts are and if they've started yet, because ours is still going full price. Be sure to think of gifts, not only for your own kids, but for donating to shelters, foster kids, and for the holidays like Angel Tree and the Salvation Army.
