Kanyon71 Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Interesting, I guess that will help them make some money and put the brand back into the eyes of people.
Brad Posted October 8, 2019 Author Posted October 8, 2019 Guessing the Target thing is just for this year until they can get some inventory/distribution of their own, if they last long enough to do that.
MariahA Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Could be interesting. I really miss TRU but I don't think they'll ever be like they were before, number of stores wise.
Kanyon71 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 I don't see how 2 stores one in TX and one in NJ are supposed to do anything. I guess they did their homework and are maybe using them to build out the concept.Our local Spirit Halloween is in the old TRU building here this year. Bums me out to go in there.
budgetsRsexy Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 The partnership between Target and ToysRus makes sense to me. Target wants to be THE place to shop for toys during the holidays and this will bring more people to their site (which means an increased chance of other sales) and entice more people to sign up for the red card. For ToysRus it’s smart because they don’t have to worry about having the website, store and shipping infrastructure/logistics figured out while they try to break back into the market and update their image. I’m not sure if ToysRus will survive but this seems like a smart move for both sides.
