The News As Big As A Giraffe

The big story is that toy sales are up for Macy's this year, and that is great news for their partnership with Toys "R" Us. Now, Toys "R" Us shops will be opening in every Macy's store in the United States by October 15, 2022.

Is There A Toys "R" Us Inside Eastland Mall?

Late last year I spotted the Toys "R" Us shop inside Eastland Mall. It is located in a small space on the second floor of Macy's, along with Macy's Backstage. There were Barbies, Disney toys, and other name brands. I checked today, and you can purchase toys online and pick them up in-store or have them delivered to the store.

June 28, 2018, Goodbye to Toys "R" Us

It feels like we've been talking about Toys "R" Us closing for a while now. But, the final day is here. Honestly, I thought maybe something could be done to save it. I guess there are too many other options when it comes to buying toys. It's certainly easier, and usually cheaper to order things online. My son, Chase, loves Toys "R" Us and is really going to miss it. My favorite memory is when he was little, the first place he'd go was the Thomas the Train display. He would start playing with their display, and didn't want to leave...Excuse me, while I go cry. ~ Liberty
