Toys R Us
“I don’t want to grow up, cause if I did I wouldn’t be a Toys R Us Kid”
Well guess what, your kids wont’ be Toys R Us kids. They will be Wall Mart bitches!
The only Monopoly that Toys “R” Us holds these days is on its shelves. The company is still one of the world’s largest toy retailers, but it has lost its #1 US position to Wal-Mart. Toys “R” Us sells its wares through about 1,500 stores in the US and abroad, and Web sites (run by Amazon.com). In addition to about 680 US namesake stores selling toys, games, and other items for kids, Toys “R” Us sells infant and toddler apparel, furniture, and feeding supplies at some 215 Babies “R” Us stores. The company closed its Kids “R” Us children’s clothing stores in 2004. Tough times in toyland led to the acquisition of Toys “R” Us by two private equity firms and a real estate company for about $6.6 billion in mid-2005.
