Toys 'R' Us - Branches Closing down in UK

News

News were going around about TRU financial issues but a list has been revealed of the stores which will be shut down in UK.

It saddens me that this is happening because I have good memories and feel nostalgic about it.

Well, anyhow, here's the branches closing:

  • Aberdeen
  • Basingstoke
  • Belfast, Newtownabbey

  • Bolton
  • Bradford
  • Brislington
  • Cambridge
  • Cardiff

  • Livingston
  • Old Kent Road
  • Plymouth
  • Scunthorpe
  • Shrewsbury
  • Tamworth

Phew, escaped the cull!

I remember going to Toys R Us as a kid being awesome. I don't frequent many toy stores today but I don't think there's anything really comparable? Except something like Hamley's but that's a little different!

Hopefully these store closures allow them to get back on top but fear it's the start of the end.

There's also Smyths Toys but yeah, not much else like it. John Lewis has a toy department though as such it doesn't count cause most retailers do, anyway.
