TheDailyWoo Goodbye to many memories of Toys R Us! One fond memory I have was when I was around twelve I rode my bike pretty far to my local mall where they and a Toy R Us store. I went there to get my copy of Super Mario Bros 3!

[@humboldtlife7075]

This was heartbreaking. Toys r us is my son's favorite store. Just in December they had a birthday party for the kids and they all got a story time , a free book, and a free Geoffrey plush. He's only three so i can imagine the memories of the store for parents with older kids.

[@stacknrendo]

casey yo Make sure your child keeps that Geoffrey Plush it’s gonna give him a lot of memories and will be Worth a lot one day

Although this happened over two years ago, a small part of my inner child died while watching this Adam; the dissolution of every American kid's Shangri-la. Once again you managed to capture the mood aptly with both camera and narration skills. btw, you have a nice singing voice. Thanks for doing what you do. 💗

[@maggielovestoads]

Wow that picture of Geoffrey hit me hard lol

[@GreenJeep1998]

Look up the "Play On" statement they had on their website. As somebody who grew up going there and worked for them as a young adult........I still can't read it out loud.

man i sent this video to my mom and she called me after watching it and was teary eyed, she said she remembers the first time she brought me to a toys r us when i was really young. Said my eyes were as big as dinner plates when we walked in and she let my little hand go as i ran off with all the other kids to play with and look at all the toys,she said we were there for at least an hour or so cuz all the parents were having fun too.We still have a Kmart here and I'm gonna take my daughter to the toys isles to mess with everything and get some random toys to play with today.We all need more fun in our lives,I'll never grow up always be a toys r us kid!!!

My son and I went and visited our toy's r us in Chattanooga TN the day after it closed. Someone layed a bouquet of flowers at the front door in rememberence. I'm not gonna lie, I got a little choked up. It's hard letting go of something from your childhood! Great video!

The Toys R Us I went to as a kid was closing at the time they made the announcement that all of them would close. I had to visit it one more time before it did and of course document it. I'm gonna miss those stores!

This may be the most depressing Adam the Woo ever. Goodbye, Toys R Us.

[@jan6626]

How sad. I bought a lot of stuff in those stores when my son, nephews and niece were much younger. RIP Toys R Us

[@LNERFlyingScotsman]

Oh my god. This is my Toys R Us from my youth. This is the one I almost always went to when I was younger and even when I got a car I kept coming to this one. I went there on the 28th and they were announcing that they were closing up forever in 5 minutes when I walked in, so the timing of my final visit couldn't have been better.

[@mrcheese5676]

Watching this in 2022 hits different

So sad! The picture you showed at 8:07 came from my store just days before we closed in Nashua, New Hampshire. So glad my friend was able to keep the Geoffrey costume.

[@t.s.7493]

I never went to TRU as a kid, KB Toys was my go to, but, my children grew up going to TRU and their faces would light up the minute they walked through the doors. It was a magical place for them and it makes me really sad that they aren't going to have that anymore. R.I.P. ToysRUs...

[@Chocolate_dragon]

One of the saddest days of my life. My kids got to be toys r us kids for about 4 years.

[@davidhine2228]

Wow a great institution passes I remember toys r us back in the early 70s ..this was Charles Lazarus baby which he founded back in 1957 but really got big in the seventies..

Sad to see a great store close. I still have my name tag with Geoffrey Giraffe on it when I was an employee in the early 80's.

To quote the little boy in this video, ‘Why is it closed?’ Ugh, little kiddo, you break my heart! Crazy that it’s gone now.

[@JayJay-xs7ob]

Bridget Warebear where have you been living,under a rock ? They closed because they blamed online sales of toys through Amazon for their declining buisness.

[@scarystardust5175]

Jay Jay , no need to be a jerk. I was quoting the small child in the video that was asking his parents. Maybe take a second to watch the video before jumping down my throat.

[@MrTech-ez2in]

Our Toys "R" Us(6363) closed their doors for the last time in Horseheads, NY this last Thursday, I'm going to miss it.

[@rosechriswell4519]

So sad... I'm 48 and can remember the smell of fresh toys as soon as those doors opened and the rush of excitement I'd feel knowing that I'd be getting something that I really wanted to play with. When I had my son in 95 I brought him as often as I could. So happy he got to have the same memories. It's hard to breath sometimes when I think of how our times are changing. Life sure was simpler back in the 70' and 80's. Thanks for doing this Adam :)

Toys Were Us

[@petesenrab5691]

Really crazy, loved this place as a kid. Thanks Adam, safe travels.

[@MrJest2]

I'm sitting here with tears on my cheeks, shocked at how hard this hit me. Of course like everyone, I heard about it on the news, and it was just another bit of business news. I'm long past having any particular use for toy stores; the eldest kid is 31 and the youngest is 25. But seeing this first-hand, and Adam's narration, was a punch in the gut. I remember riding my bicycle to our local store when I had managed to save up a few bucks to see if there was a new "Micronaut" available or something like that. Ripping out the heart of our childhood, indeed...

[@buckiannscreations9089]

This makes me so sad..I did go to Toys R us last week, 2 days in a row, and it brought such overwhelming sadness...Life has changed from when we were kids.. I guess we have to grow up afterall...

[@AnJah]

I don't have strong childhood attachments to Toys R Us because I was in my teens before we had one in my hometown. However I do remember a time when I would go in and find really old video game stock for super cheap. Like Sega Genesis games and what not just randomly marked down way after their prime. You just don't get deals like those any more. It was like they just lost stock and would randomly find something - like the time they had new Sega Saturns randomly.

[@anitaboodram1155]

Beautiful places

[@El_Andru]

Man, so many memmories. Im 20, when I lived close to America I used to go every weekend to Toys R Us. Weird, I was never a demanding kid, I just loved going, watching and playing with what I could, never bought much, but loved the place. I haven't been there for like 8 or 9 years, now I will never. Goodbye, nice run :)

I am 57, so when I was a young chap there wasn't a Toys R Us. Sears, Penney's and Kmart were the place to buy toys, although these stores are rapidly disappearing as well. I freely admit that I am part of the problem. This past Christmas I did not buy a single gift in a bricks and mortar store.Everything I bought was from on-line sources.

The one here in Leominster, MA was accessible on the last day. I didn't get last day footage (day 4, yes. day 2, one photo). There was just a couple shelves with stuff, and too many employees and people around to document the final day. Anything from this point onward is post-mortem now.
