March 22, 2018, a day that will go down in infamy. A day that changed the world forever. The day that was the beginning of the end as Toys R Us began their “Going Out of Business” Sale. The store gave us one last hurrah during a liquidation salethat let us explore the toy store one last time. The decision to close all stores came after the company filed for bankruptcy with the hopes of revamping its business plan and reviving struggling stores. RIP, Toys R Us. We’re sorry we failed you as consumers & decided to use Amazon Prime for everything because we’re lazy & don’t want to go to stores anymore. We miss you dearly.
