More Toys "R" Us Pop-Ups In Store
Earlier this week the Brooklyn Paper wrote that Toys “R” Us would be opening a seasonal store in the old Sid’s Hardware space on Jay Street. (We wrote up that news, when it was still a rumor, a month ago.) Now it’s looking like that may not be the only pop-up store the toy giant…
Earlier this week the Brooklyn Paper wrote that Toys “R” Us would be opening a seasonal store in the old Sid’s Hardware space on Jay Street. (We wrote up that news, when it was still a rumor, a month ago.) Now it’s looking like that may not be the only pop-up store the toy giant has planned for Brooklyn. Based on a tip, we snapped these photos yesterday evening of two stores currently undergoing transformation—the old Blockbuster video on Flatbush (pictured left) and the old Jeans Express store (right) on 11th Street and 5th Avenue. Looks like they’ll be here just in time for holiday shoppers.

Toys “R” Us Coming to Downtown! [BK Paper] GMAP
Snappy, as resident spoiler of “the Heir”, I agree. I try to buy my nephew books and old fashioned toys, toys that take imagination, art kits, games, etc. Haven’t had any complaints yet, and his parents appreciate it, too. There are plenty of other people in his life to buy him the plastic trucks and all the other stuff he has. I also hate to go to places like Toys R Us, especially at Christmas. I went to the one that used to be downtown once, and ran screaming from there. What a mess.
they’ll do holiday business and then bail from most all stores, chain in shrinking and this is a method to do so they pay almost no rent

I don’t believe in buying video games and toys that require no imagination or provide no learning or social aspect.
ha. i dont think id like you as my auntie.
*rob*
And where are we on February 1?
Sparafucile, they live 7 hours away and I rarely get to see them so I just gotta spoil ’em rotten 🙂 Besides, it’s an Auntie’s job to do so – I’m known as the Supreme Gift Giver and I shall not lose my title! Truthfully though, in each package, one or two things come from Target or an online toy store, the rest from local dollar stores or cheap places like DII.
I predict much sanctimonious moaning and gnashing of teeth re: the park slope location, although the same people won’t mind at all if there’s a toys r us in downtown brooklyn.
Snappy, let’s make it a private convo but we don’t do those 2 :o(.
