“We hope Toys’R’Us kids of all ages discover the joy of exploration and play within our shops and families create special memories together.
“The customer response to our partnership with Toys’R’Us has been incredible and our toy business has seen tremendous growth.”
Macy’s and WHP’s partnership started in August last year when they began offering an assortment of Toys’R’Us products online exclusively at Macy’s and Toys’R’Us’ websites.
In its earnings update for the first quarter of 2022, Macy’s reported that its toy sales were 15 times higher than they were before its partnership with Toys’R’Us.
Founded in 1957, Toys’R’Us operates 900 branded stores and e-commerce businesses in more than 25 countries.
The brand was acquired by asset management firm WHP Global in March last year.
