This hurts me, Toys R Us was one of my favorite stores as a child, and to see one in ruins like this makes my inner child sad. (They’ve probably demolished it or something by now, but still)
I always had this stupid dream of when I hit around 55-60 taking a early retirement and getting a part time job at Toys-R-Us. That will never happen now.
Toysrus changed the world. I bet everyone were furious when it was closed. If I were Thanos, I would use the Reality Stone to make Toysrus reopen. Some people think they’re just renaming it to “Jeffery” (witch was the name of the giraffe of Toysrus).
It's both creepy and sad seeing what once was vibrant and cheerful, full of children making memories of getting to choose out a toy or a video game. Now dim, sad and abandoned with no children choosing a toy or video game out... I used to go to Toys R Us all the time when I was younger. It's sad that it is now gone.
Come to Canada, we still have more than 80 TRU stores across the country and they still play the theme song over the PA all the time...I don't wanna grow up I'm a TOYS R US kid....
Tony M. I was just about to say the same thing! I live in Montreal and I have easy access to AT LEAST three TRU stores! Heck, there’s one about 25 minutes away from my house!
I'm old enough to remember when Toys R Us first opened its new store in Mesquite, Texas, near Town East Mall. I was five years old and screamed with excitement as I walked through the colorful entrance with my parents. It seemed like a child's dream come true.
We were broke growing up so I don't have too many fond memories of Toys R Us. I remember one trip where we went and couldn't afford anything. Beyond that it was nothing but a commercial with a catchy jingle around the holidays where I'd see kids playing with stuff I was never going to get.
I.... *_M Y H E A R T-_* Edit: My best memory was when everyday after daycare, my dad would take me to pick out a skylander or two at Toys R Us. What made me extremely sad was when I went there on one of the last days. They were selling a Hex for 25 cents. I bought a bunch of them and the cashier looked and smiled at me. I felt heartbroken to leave that day.
I was so upset when Toys R Us closed. I had so many memories of just walking around shopping to get some nice toys. It’s so sad to just see it all left alone, with nobody inside. That was my childhood place. It makes me so sad... Edit: It’s been a year since it closed?.. Dang..
I don't wanna grow up, don't want grow up I don't wanna grow up, don't want grow up I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys R Us kid There's a million toys at Toys R us that I can play with I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys R Us kid They've got the best for so much less, you'll really flip your lid From bikes to trains to video games It's the biggest toy store there is I don't wanna grow up, cause if I did I couldn't be a Toys R Us kid I don't wanna grow up, don't want grow up I wanna be a Toys R Us kid Im sorry
I used to work in this Toys R Us from 2008-2010. So weird to see it empty. Great memories of working there. With the mall right there and the train station down the street too, it’s no surprise that there’s full trash cans.
I've inspected my dad to go to Toys "R" Us. Like only in 2014. 4 years before Toys "R" Us closed for 4 years. Why? We need to think it's a bankruptcy. They will be back at 2022 in Macy's. It's Back!
I remembered about toys r us and searched it up then came across this video. You were very lucky to have had that opportunity and it's sad to think that this was around 4-5 years ago that toys r us was shut down.
Not just the USA but Australia too! :'( In fact, the one near my house was the oldest operating store until July 2018. AND it kept its original 1990s signage!
Man , me being a Father. I would’ve killed to have worked at ToysRus as a part timer. To tell my 4 year old I work at a TOY store rather then a damn Warehouse
I have 3 favorite memories. My first was being about 9 years old and my grandma and mom took me to Toys R Us and at the time I was obsessed with Super Mario so I got Mario and Luigi figures and I got a really cool Godzilla doll, still have them. My 2nd memory was when I was about 10 or 11 and I got a metal detector and used it at my grandparents house for many years. Finally my last memory is more recent, the last couple of years before they closed my girlfriend and I went quite a few times to find cool collectibles. Hopefully they have some new toy store. I will miss Toys R Us.
Even though this was 4 years ago, still it's amazing that you actually had the chance to go inside!! I know I made this comment on other vids, but I'm sharing this to whoever wants to know this. I passed by the Toys R Us I went to as a kid, and the logo sign is still perfectly on the building, but the place is boarded (the boarding is painted in white). It's sad though that it's just sitting there abandoned.
The reason Toys "R" Us and many iconic companies that have been around for decades, sometimes even more than a century, are closing down is because even though their business model is reasonably profitable there is way too much focus on satisfying the shareholders. People who have literally nothing to do with Toys" R" Us except the fact that they own part of it through stock trading demanding more return on their investment.
There are also many other factors, like the over buying of starwars merchandice and unpopular toys that they thought were popular. My parents actually think it was for a different reason. Back in the 90's or early 2,000's, my parents ordered a bunch of my sibling's favorite toys from toys are us online in early november before christmas. They would constantly get emails about how the toys were shipped off and that they'd be arriving soon, but at 5'oclock or so, less than a week before christmas, they got an email that said there was an overflux of orders and subsequently, none of what they ordered was actually shipped. They were refunded, but they had to go out and scramble to get things that even resembled what my siblings wanted. Needless to say, they never went to Toys R' Us again and they heard the same from a lot of people. They partially think that the sudden drop in customers along with the hiking prices killed the store.
Why Cry? Its people like you and millions others who made Toyr R Us go out of business. You guys are the reason why Jeff Bezos (Amazon) is the worlds richest man. Now you guys wanna cry? You idiots should have supported Toys R Us and many others. With that being said...
SideWayz First of all I have been supporting them I’m only 1 person so don’t come at me sideways the fuck that’s why I want to so stfu and mind your business
I may be late to the video, but my best memory/memories from toys R Us was everytime me and my mum went to pick my dad up from his football, I remember we always parked near a Toys R Us so that meant sometimes we went inside and I got a toy. I still remember it to this day, now it’s gone. Great video though, can’t believe you got inside!
Over in france, toys r us was bought by another company and was renamed "pic wic toys", and recently, it has been bought again and will now be called "smyths toys". The great thing with this story here in france is that i can finally buy minecraft, mario and sonic figures (jakks pacific), poppy playtime products (sadly no fnaf merch... 😔). This store is just the best.
I'm 11 and I would always beg my mom to go to toys r us but there wasn't one near by so she said she would take me on my birthday but by then they shut it down. And now I'm just sitting here wishing I could have that experience
I remember as a kid going down the video games aisle. Nintendo, Sega Genesis and Turbo Graphics 16 systems. First generation transformers, He-Man, train sets, RC racing tracks. Damn! I always drooled.
heh, my best memory at Toys R us was when my and my little brothers got hold of a bike and a electric toy car, and drove around the store XD we cept running in to things, and then we got kicked out LOL
I used to get dozens of video games, Thomas and friends toys, and VHS tapes from Toys R Us when I was young... This store was a big part of my childhood ❤💚💙💛🌈
Justin Jennard Jose OMG same! I only ever went to Toys R Us for the wooden Thomas and Friends toys to go with my wooden railway set. This was back in the early 2000s; I really miss those days.
I'm a 39yr old grown man and don't usually get emotional, but when they close the store it was one of the saddest days I can remember. Sad part is I had just had my 1st Son and was really sad he'd never get to enjoy this magical place like I did growing up. Thank you for this video Sir. I shed a tear watching it. I'll never grow up cause I'm a Toys R us Kid!
One day young 6 year olds will be adults and telling there kids about TOYS R US and they will be like what and we will be like😱😰😥😭thanks I have never got more than 5 likes
I worked for TRU for eight years. I left in spring of 2015. At that time my manager told me they were in financial trouble and changed directions many times. Corporate never lowered prices and you could items 20 dollars cheaper or more at other places. My store was Babies R Us, store #8855 in evans, ga. Many TRU stores were left this way after they folded. Sad to see them vanish. Awesome video.
It's said that ToysRus branches will close as most kids nowadays only have interest in electronics... *sigh* I can't believe this is happening I used to buy toys from ToysRus as a kid ..
I remember always wanting to go behind the cashiers desk many many times and if I was allowed this I would go behind and make my dreams come true lmaooo
My first bike was from toys r us, and I still remember till this day of my dad wheeling in my purple bicycle with holographic steamers on the handle bars. The amount of excitement I got that day and everyday that I went to that store will forever be embedded in my memory and in my heart. Thank you for the amazing childhood toys r us ❤
My greatest memory of toys r us was when my grandparents from England had came up to Scotland to visit and they took me to East Kilbride where the nearest toys r us was to me. I remember going in and hearing the theme song in the distance “I don’t want to grow up I want to be a toys r us kid”. I remember walking about smiling constantly at all the new and cool toys that just came out & now that I look back it makes me genuinely tear up. When we were finished in the shop/store I got a massive Mega bloks halo set which was the iconic gate from halo 3’s map High ground and I never will forget this amazing store. Thank you for making this video and for making my day!. I’ve subbed and clicked the bell because I want to❤️
I live in the back of beyond so I've never been in a Toys R Us. But it was great to see your enthusiasm, and excitement at actually being allowed inside. :)
It just makes me so sad hope they bring toys r us back!!! My best memorie was when i really wanted to go so on the second day we were on the car and my mom told me to put on the blindfold and when we got there i was so happy
My best Memory of toys r us was i was really sad and felt like no one liked me then my mom drove me to toys r us and said i can pick 3 toys and that made my day and after that i was so so so happy i still have one of the things from that trip 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Dude this is awesome I wish I could go inside one. I went to a classic abandoned one near my house and saw the letters inside as well. My favorite memory was when I got 20 dollars for my birthday and got a Sonic plush at Toys R Us and I still have it on my shelf to this day.
When I was a kid, my parents didn’t have enough money for us to get very many things, so every trip to Toys R Us was special and very rare Even though we could barely ever afford to go there, I was still on the birthday list and I’d freak out and cry whenever Geoffrey would call me because a giraffe on the phone with me just scared the hell out of me for some reason 😂
@@joeschmo9838 For my parents who were raising 4 kids close in age, yeah I’d say it was expensive for them. It was the “if one kid gets a toy, they all get a toy” situation so I’d say their prices multiplied by 4, yes expensive 😂 I do remember one time when I got to go pick out a Toys R Us exclusive Barbie car there and it was the best day of my life because I was like 7 lol
I remember going to this Kingston one. I had many fond memories here. Getting my first bike, my first console, and many other things too. You going inside there brought many fond memories back. Thank you for showing. It means a lot!!!
Moscow Mein it really hit me walking in there. So many memories. It was eerie standing in there when it was empty. Thanks for joining me on a trip down memory lane!
Hello Ben like you am a Toys r Us kid too 40 plus yrs 😢 p really really miss this once amazing toy store. My favorite section was the action figures and Star wars and toy story section. RIP Toys r Us.
Ice Bagel you don’t get fat young (mostly at least) until you mature and your metabolism changes. I’m overweight because I had a slow metabolism from birth and even if I exercise it still doesn’t do much. It all comes down to luck with how your born.
Do you miss Toys R Us??? I know there’s rumors of its return but I’ll believe it when I seen it

its been back for a year or so, so what do you mean?
@@haa846 it ain’t really back, a small pop up aisle in Macy’s doesn’t count.

zudemaster I actually wanted to do that when I was younger 😭

Maybe it’ll be back....
I would want to do that too as a old person and see the kids faces light up but that will never happen now 😭
Toys r us may be back in 2019 or 2020 but it will be called Gefferoys closet

yor 11? thats a pretty good statement nd very nice vocab for being 11

I remember as a kid going down the video games aisle. Nintendo, Sega Genesis and Turbo Graphics 16 systems. First generation transformers, He-Man, train sets, RC racing tracks. Damn! I always drooled.
heh, my best memory at Toys R us was when my and my little brothers got hold of a bike and a electric toy car, and drove around the store XD we cept running in to things, and then we got kicked out LOL
I used to get dozens of video games, Thomas and friends toys, and VHS tapes from Toys R Us when I was young... This store was a big part of my childhood ❤💚💙💛🌈
I miss getting the Christmas ads. I used to always get legos with my grandma
When i always go to Toys r us thomas and friends Section is always full because no one buys it
i remember going inside and purchasing toys,, my childhood
Justin Jennard Jose OMG same! I only ever went to Toys R Us for the wooden Thomas and Friends toys to go with my wooden railway set. This was back in the early 2000s; I really miss those days.

I feel for my son that he will never experience being allowed to pick his own toys in toys R us...
Omg i feel so bad for your son!!!!!
Yup that's what my parents say about my little brother:(
I'm a 39yr old grown man and don't usually get emotional, but when they close the store it was one of the saddest days I can remember. Sad part is I had just had my 1st Son and was really sad he'd never get to enjoy this magical place like I did growing up. Thank you for this video Sir. I shed a tear watching it. I'll never grow up cause I'm a Toys R us Kid!
I worked at one putting together bicycles. Pretty good job and worked with some good people. Sad to see that there are none anymore.
Nice! At least you can say you worked there, that’s pretty cool
Thank you to the guy who have him access to the building. You deserved a shoutout

No joke i was thinking about that all video
Lol. I have been thinking that too no joke
So true... that will be me to my kids even though I’m 9
Ive been living on this Earth for 17 years and never gone into a toys r us in my whole life
I worked for TRU for eight years. I left in spring of 2015. At that time my manager told me they were in financial trouble and changed directions many times. Corporate never lowered prices and you could items 20 dollars cheaper or more at other places. My store was Babies R Us, store #8855 in evans, ga. Many TRU stores were left this way after they folded. Sad to see them vanish. Awesome video.

6:11 i think those wood planks were used to hold the signs since wood planks could be used to put signs up (hold them up)

@fallout4 boy Hope this all end... Everything bad toward us and our planet..

Not the kid's fault.
Blame the parents.
I remember always wanting to go behind the cashiers desk many many times and if I was allowed this I would go behind and make my dreams come true lmaooo
This was sad, but thankfully toys r us is back!!
It’s back?
@@BenLaurenceyes in every single Macy's in the us
I remember every year I got a card from Toys R Us on my birthday
Lol same
My first bike was from toys r us, and I still remember till this day of my dad wheeling in my purple bicycle with holographic steamers on the handle bars. The amount of excitement I got that day and everyday that I went to that store will forever be embedded in my memory and in my heart. Thank you for the amazing childhood toys r us ❤
clarissa da_pug Hey 😃 check out my latest video

I had a toy R us near me and I remember going right before it closed and it’s crazy that I was there before it closed.
Jacob Navarro same
I just remember the letters. I LOVE letters. it's important. it's the future. it's life.
My greatest memory of toys r us was when my grandparents from England had came up to Scotland to visit and they took me to East Kilbride where the nearest toys r us was to me. I remember going in and hearing the theme song in the distance “I don’t want to grow up I want to be a toys r us kid”. I remember walking about smiling constantly at all the new and cool toys that just came out & now that I look back it makes me genuinely tear up. When we were finished in the shop/store I got a massive Mega bloks halo set which was the iconic gate from halo 3’s map High ground and I never will forget this amazing store. Thank you for making this video and for making my day!. I’ve subbed and clicked the bell because I want to❤️
So you have a ghost with you cuz the title says “We Got Inside”
No the man have the keys and accessed him inside and btw its not a ghost
Well he said WE But no one is with him
We as in me and all of you who watch the video also ( I GOT INSIDE ) just wasn’t visually appealing
I live in the back of beyond so I've never been in a Toys R Us. But it was great to see your enthusiasm, and excitement at actually being allowed inside. :)
Guys let’s do a #justiceforToysRus😢😢
Also #justiceforCircutCity
Omg............. (OMG BEN LAURENCE LIKED IT!!!)
I feel so bad for all the little kids that will never get to know toys R us
It will come back
Nigga that's what Walmart is for

@LeopardGaming 07 afraid possibly not
@@qbcreamer4493 don’t have to be throwing around racial slurs
It just makes me so sad hope they bring toys r us back!!!
My best memorie was when i really wanted to go so on the second day we were on the car and my mom told me to put on the blindfold and when we got there i was so happy
My was my mom bought me a sonic toy
I was a big sonic fan
My best Memory of toys r us was i was really sad and felt like no one liked me then my mom drove me to toys r us and said i can pick 3 toys and that made my day and after that i was so so so happy i still have one of the things from that trip 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
In so happy, they are reopening toys are us
Now that it's gone, I feel so *OLD*
I know. I know.
Dont worry tech r us will make us either aged and revive as a 7-11 yr old or we shrink to the size of 7-11 yr old

The toys r us in Peterborough caught fire a few weeks ago so we lost our childhood has been ruined 😔
Katie Cross I’m so sorry 😐
That's the only reason I hate about united kingdom. They always(edited part is always) start riots or Burndowns.
The footage was good. You were like a cross between a top secret agent and a ghost sneaking around the catacombs in Europe! Way to go, dude!
Is this in Washington?
Can we appreciate for those who were born at the right time, to grow up going to toys R us while those who were born to not experience what we did 😪😢
I'm a 2009 kid
Im 2008 kid, glad I was able to go there 4 times
fuck everyone who missed the best days.....
2008 boy is me.
Only went there once.
Dude this is awesome I wish I could go inside one. I went to a classic abandoned one near my house and saw the letters inside as well. My favorite memory was when I got 20 dollars for my birthday and got a Sonic plush at Toys R Us and I still have it on my shelf to this day.
Fire Cracker 72713 thank you very much!!!
When I was a kid, my parents didn’t have enough money for us to get very many things, so every trip to Toys R Us was special and very rare
Even though we could barely ever afford to go there, I was still on the birthday list and I’d freak out and cry whenever Geoffrey would call me because a giraffe on the phone with me just scared the hell out of me for some reason 😂
YES! I remember the birthday phone calls haha
Me too, it was once in a blue moon that my parents would take me (They didn’t.) but my babysitter took me once.
Same! Toys r us was like vacation for my family!
Was it really that expensive of a joint? I feel suddenly spoiled knowing 99% of my Christmas gifts came from there granted early to mid-late 90s.
@@joeschmo9838 For my parents who were raising 4 kids close in age, yeah I’d say it was expensive for them. It was the “if one kid gets a toy, they all get a toy” situation so I’d say their prices multiplied by 4, yes expensive 😂 I do remember one time when I got to go pick out a Toys R Us exclusive Barbie car there and it was the best day of my life because I was like 7 lol
That “dirty sock” had me dying 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wish they never closed toys r us because it was the best store even if I'm 14 I loved that store and I bet kids in the future would to 😭
I remember going to this Kingston one. I had many fond memories here. Getting my first bike, my first console, and many other things too. You going inside there brought many fond memories back. Thank you for showing. It means a lot!!!
Moscow Mein it really hit me walking in there. So many memories. It was eerie standing in there when it was empty. Thanks for joining me on a trip down memory lane!
I live in Toronto, Canada and we still have toys r us, but I don’t go there cuz I’m like 14 😂

Arai San Nanoda nice
That looks like the back rooms😮
Rare that you just get let in to an abandoned building like this to document. Pretty cool of the guy to let you do that.
Theres A New Toy That Entertain Kids These Days ..

Also the reason why they become fat because they have fun with only moving their fingers
no one is safe not even true
Ice Bagel you don’t get fat young (mostly at least) until you mature and your metabolism changes. I’m overweight because I had a slow metabolism from birth and even if I exercise it still doesn’t do much. It all comes down to luck with how your born.
No u
That was 1 of the reasons why Toys R Us closed
There will be a company that will try to bring it back in a new name
It's the people who still have the rights to Geoffrey who are thinking of bringing back Toys R Us as a new store
