Full Throttle 09/19/17 3:08:41 AM #1:	Would you be sad if Toys R Us is gone? Yes.... No View Results Toys R Us, the largest US Toy Store Chain has filed for bankruptcy protection as this is the latest sign of turmoil in the retail industry caught in the grip of online shopping and discount chains. It said it received a commitment for over 3 billion in debtor in possession financing from lenders including JPMorgan bank syndicate. The new financing is expected to immediately improve the company's financial health and support it's ongoing operations during court supervised process The Canadian Unit also intends to seek protection in parallel proceedings under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act in Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The retailer's operations, including 255 licensed stores and joint venture in Asia which are sepeerate entities are not part of the Chapter 11 filing. This filing is the largest eever by a specialty retailer and casts doubt over the future of the 1600 stores and nearly 64,000 employees worldwide It comes just as Toys R Us is gearing up for the holiday shopping season that accounts for the bulk of its sales. The company has not shown a net quarterly since 2013 The first Toys R Us opened in 1957 and its inaugural CEO, Charles Lazurus presided over the company until 1994. It was brought out in 2005 but saddled with major debts that was never paid off.. It had some success under CEO David Brandon who since 2015 tried to make its destination for children but it proved futile in the face of online retail. It has more than 800 locations in the US Would you be sad if Toys R Us closes down near you?

I actually still have the entire Mulan graphics from above the promo section.

TheCyborgNinja 09/19/17 7:08:19 AM #8:	The problem all these places have stems from refusal to adopt a quality over quantity approach. They always close way too few stores at first and begin doing so only after it's too late to really help anyway. Right now, for instance, GS should shut down 1/3 of their retail stores. The novelty items taking up half the store and the revelation that over 70% of game sales are digital now (statistic regarding the USA on PS4, iirc) shouldn't be dismissed. Look on their store locator map at how oversaturated the cities are. There's no direct competition of equal size or in terms of services, so people will drive an extra 10-15 minutes if need be. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 <cite>TheCyborgNinja posted [p:886876179] in Toys R Us ...
