I don't know the US, but here in the UK the rival toy stores - Smyths and The Entertainer are more entertaining for children and The Entertainer is predominantly based in town centres.
Toys R Us relies upon parents driving to an out of town shopping centre. There are also independents that do a better job of presentation than Toys R Us. They're more expensive but so are Toys R Us compared to Amazon.

- yitchelle 9y agoThe toy shop situation in Germany is desperate. The ToysRUs near Cologne looks like they are from the 60s and is hardly distinguishable from local Obi or Toom hardware store. It is not an attractive place for the kids to visit.
- tonyedgecombe 9y agoIn the UK Toys R Us was really grim and dirty, the staff were distracted, the whole place felt like a prison you wanted to escape from. I'm not at all surprised by its demise.
- originalsimba 9y agoI'm not an expert on the subject but I think the problem is there's a "Boys" and "Girls" and "Toddlers" toy isle in every Walmart in America. They don't have the selection but they carry the hot products.
