Because millenials aren't also addicted to children's toys? 40% above MSRP in the age of Amazon/internet is a bold move, Cotton. We can see how that paid off for them.

If this is real I'm disappointed in ToysRUs
The real blame is the fact that there aren't any good American cartoons nowadays to buy toys for, and because most kids don't even play with toys anyway, they all have iPads and iPhones and shit. --- http://i.imgur.com/fUaBI.jpg I NEEDUH MONSTA TA CLOBBA DAT DERE KIRBEH ... Copied to Clipboard!

The irony is that it's actually the board of directors and heir mismanagement, selling to private groups after going bankrupt and then those groups basically profiting as they sold assets that were necessary to keep them floating.

It turns out that when millennials are underpaid and overcharged for rent, housing and college, they're less likely to have kids. I guess TRU had to learn that the hard way.

I dont think it was so much a business plan as much as a why did this happen? Kids just dont play with toys anymore. My son owns about 5 or 6 action figures. Thats all he has ever asked to get.

You can buy toys while picking up your prescription, developed photos, groceries, make-up, and alcohol at stores like Walgreens and CVS. Only downside is theres usually few workers, theyre always busy to barely help you, and they look miserable.
