Opening mid-December, just in time for the 2021 holiday shopping season, the Toys"R"Us flagship at American Dream marks the return of the first standalone flagship store of the iconic and beloved toy brand in the USA.  This comes on the heels of Toys"R"Us opening its digital flagship store this year together with Macy's and with over 400 Toys"R"Us shop-in-shops slated to open inside Macy's stores nationwide starting in 2022.

It has been alleged that the individuals misled suppliers about the retailer’s dire financial position while it attempted to stay afloat towards the end of 2017 and early 2018.

According to multiple reports in the US media, including Bloomberg, several former Toys ‘R’ Us executives are set to stand trial over historic allegations that they misled suppliers over the retailer’s dire financial position while the company tried to stay afloat during bankruptcy proceedings towards the end of 2017. The allegations involve significant sums – potentially as much as $600m.

On Monday, US Bankruptcy Judge Keith Phillips confirmed that a trial should go forward,  ignoring a request from the former executives to throw out the creditors’ claims. The former directors and officers have all denied any wrongdoing.

So disappointing to hear.  This only adds more sadness to the sorry demise of a place where happiness reigned for so many. Yet I appreciate knowing the truth.
It is 2024, and I am still asking...where's my flyin' car??!! @fannishmarcia

I wouldn't be surprised if it's more of a showroom for some stuff where they provide free delivery to you.
