23:05 The sign of the little girl and boy who are happy for toys will be very happy once Toys R Us comes back in the US but it will be 10,000 square feet, roughly a third of the size of the big box brand that closed last year.
Some time ago, I bought some stuff at TRU and brought the bag home and stashed it in the corner. A couple of weeks later, I took the things out of the bag - and there was some employee's ID badge in there with my stuff. Obviously it was accidentally dropped in. I still have it somewhere.
Is toys r us actually coming back thank God I miss that place it's been a long time since the last time I went there I don't remember how old I was when I went there
Your right about the Play Chaser app! In some areas of the Toys R Us stores, they would have these posters where you can scan them and unlock some fun digital games. Check out the Gefforey greeting one for a sample.
ToysRUs the games and I have to play this game for a little while and I have to get a play game for a little more than I have played on my iPod and it is a little over my mind and my iPhone play it for a long long time I love the game I played for 🥺😭😩😓😥😵🎛🎛🎛🎛🎛🎛🎛🎛🎛🎛🎛🎛🧭
For some reason I don't remember that, but I do remember a fire at the Children's Palace from apparently some kid smoking in the back room or something?
@@ThatNateGuyOnUA-cam l like the children's palace better it looked like a castle on the roof. do you remember the carousel overhills was where they knocked down to make Walmart in Canton across from the now abandoned Kmart
The last toy I bought the day before it closed here, was a Doll for my Granddaughter..But on that same day I bought a Scooter, a bike and some Wresting toys for my Grandson. I said the last toy was a doll, cause when I checked out and was about to leave in the car, I ask my son to let me do one more round of the place n ran back in to get something else and what I bought was a cute Doll. My Son was like More Toys ? 😄😄😄
This was a great video of a Toys r Us store from Days gone by but believe it or not they just opened up a new Toys r Us store. That's right, it Toys r Us store at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. So you have to go there and do your next video. Happy holidays!🎉
Your Black Friday story ... I had a similar experience with the line at Best Buy when it was at the old location where Great Escape is now, just down Whipple from TRU and where SH Kim Tae Kwon Do was. The line went down the side of the store, across the circled street and clear up to where the Pizza Hut (and Van’s Camera?) used to be. Eventually got in, but everything was picked-over. That was probably the last time I really went out on Black Friday. I want to say that was 1996 or 1997. Just not worth it.
Omg the one in canton! I worked at this one. Seriously such a great job and it’s so weird seeing the building like this... it’s sad. Wish they would come back ♥️
isn't it crazy! I remember filming in here when it was fully functional just messing around with toys for fun, and shortly after they announced they'd be closing I was so bummed!
Was the sales floor downsized at some point? Odd how a big area of the stockroom was tiled but not along the perimeter like there could have been walls there at one point.
Not that I'm aware of, however, there was a fire at some point in the past here, so that could have something to do with it, or maybe they made it that way to leave the opportunity to expand if they needed to
20:54 - 23:35 Looks like they might have downsized the sales floor at some point because that vinyl floor continues past the back pegboard display wall, a quite possible sign that the sales floor was originally bigger and those bolts sticking out of the floor must have been mounts for a display shelf that was there. I could be right, I could be wrong.
Thanks for the the look at that store. My local toys r us looks almost the exact same way. Same era. every sign still up. I am really surprised that it hasn’t been bought and converted into something new. It is in large regional shopping center where there are always more retailers wanting space than what is available. The toys r us and only one other space are empty in the entire area. The other space was a Shopko that closed only a couple of months ago and probably has offers for the space. I don’t understand why the toys r us is still empty.
Most were sold in the stores but leftovers were auctioned off and older toys or if a store was almost done they would just throw out a lot of that stuff
Man this is the one on Whipple, me still being in school at Jackson I remember going to this place a lot before it went away. I remember going to the place the day before it closed and buying a bunch of stuff. And now the signs are removed expect the street one and I guess it can’t be deserted inside because the spirt of Halloween was in the old building not to long ago just like how they were at the bargmax. I wish and hope something better goes into that area I would like to see thing people can enjoy go in and I know Toys R Us isn’t going open up a location there again. But I still like to dream of it.
Alot of local sign ordinances allow an existing sign to be changed to a new sign of the same size when a new business moves in even if ordinances have changed and required smaller signs or such. They grandfather them in. That is why alot of property owners leave the existing signage, especially pole mounted signage that is out in the parking lot. The building signage may be that the property owners removed some to show that the building is available for a new business, the ones that still have signage are because stores like Toys R Us who were going out of business completely didnt allow any funding to remove signage, after all they were bankrupt. I am sure they probably had the attitude that it was then someone elses problem. LOL Near where I live there was a huge Shoney's Restaurant neon sign out near the interstate. It stayed there for at least 6-8 years after the Shoney's had closed up. I believe the zoning thing was in play there because it was replaced with an exact height sign from a new business.
I think people are misunderstanding the "haunting images" thing on the other video. It's not scary per se', it's "haunting" to see the store in this condition, as opposed to the bright colorful fun kid friendly place it once was.
I rather watch you showing us Toy’s r us stores that’s in busses such as in Japan Singapore the ones in the United States are dead and will not be back I loved this store too but they never put any sales so I stopped shopping from them until they were closing their stores then finally things were cheap I used my $10.00 gift card I got free from my Toy’s r us credit card I got 2 games for $10.00 if anyone misses this store very much then visit different countries they aren’t gone they still exist today
I tried to get similar footage up here in Fort Wayne and two of my crew for my #RetailNightmares channel were effectively bullied off the property. And from looking at this footage, I am able to determine that this will be soon gutted. I may be wrong, Nate, since I have never been in too many Toys R Us locations. I had only been to one Toys R Us location - Muncie, IN when it was open in 2014.
What exactly are the ppl doing in there, sounds like they R taking shelves down, dis U ask if U could walk threw just wondering?? Cool video thanks for the update!!
yeah I had permission, they are cleaning everything out, they had an auction and sold off the rest of the fixtures and whatnot. I just was in the right place at the right time.
We know we miss TOYS “R” US but we do need to grow up the actual reason is because it was bankrupt *(I DON’T MEAN ROBBED)* i mean it didn’t have enough money but it doesn’t matter so life is life far a life and get Walmart everyone who misses toys r us (OR TARGET) so people sometimes get bankrupt *Disclaimer, this may take several minutes for you to cheer up* but do not do anything extra in an abandoned toys r us or the brake room so if you were. a toys r us employee you are ok so peace out but a bonus is you will probably be locked in toys r us until further notice (witch is never) Okay peace
Nike1234 UnderArmour1607 Is that what is it becoming! I know Spirit Halloween according to Nate’s latest video is gonna be taking this space for the halloween season. I only know this bc Richard Wolf commented it on Nate’s latest video of this store
Thanks for sharing. Wow soo many memries i have from toys r us. Buying things and just looking around wow.
23:29 the tile extends into the stock room, which is indicative that part of the stock room used to be the sales floor.
They made ours into a car wash. The WHOLE building. Never been in it though.
I remember Toys R us on a black Friday. It was a complete madhouse Lol!

Do you remember the fire at this location early 90's. They pushed toys outside from loading dock. The pile was the size of a semi trailer.

When you were looking at that toys r us gift card I saw a hot wheels box
