No Place for a Kid to be a Kid
Toys R Us is about to be sold off to the highest bidder. No doubt the folks in charge of one our former favorite stores thought this was inevitable as Wal*Mart encroached on its toy sales.
We've been saying for a long time that Toys R Us's biggest problem was that it just wasn't a good toy store. We've been to the Mega Toys R Us in Elizabeth-- a store the size of its neighbor, IKEA. And we've been to TRU in Times Square. Neither was very fun. We expected to be blown away by the action figure selection or by the choice of matchbox cars. Instead, we've seen better selections at Flea Markets.
A new report has vindicated Everything We've Said. The article cites examples like Best Buy that while not cheaper than Wal*Mart, offer better services, cooler products, and a better store.
Too bad Toys R Us executives were too caught up trying to sell the company to really compete.
