North Georgia Premium Outlets announced on Facebook thatToys “R” Us is now open at the outlet center in space 625.
"They're back! Toys 'R' Us is officially now open in space 625!" the outlet center said in its announcement.
The opening comes as Toys "R" Us continues expanding its presence across the United States following its earlier bankruptcy and nationwide store closures.
Toys 'R' Us is expanding across the US
Toys "R" Us announced in September that it planned to open 120 new standalone stores across the United States during the 2026 holiday season.
The expansion is expected to increase the company's standalone U.S. locations from 40 to 160.
The company has been rebuilding its retail presence through standalone stores,
shops inside Macy’s, airport locations and Navy Exchange locations.
Toys "R" Us currently has about 400 shops inside Macy’s stores nationwide, according to USA TODAY.
What does Toys 'R' Us sell?
The retailer's stores carry toys and collectibles from major brands and entertainment properties, including LEGO, Barbie, Hot Wheels, Pokémon and "KPop Demon Hunters."
Some locations also offer candy shops and cafes.
Toys "R" Us is also introducing Creator Studios at select locations. The company describes the spaces as places where influencers, content creators and toy brands can film content, unveil products and host toy-related events.
When did Toys 'R' Us close its US stores?
Toys "R" Us filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September 2017 and later liquidated its U.S. business, closing its remaining stores in 2018.
The brand began returning to physical retail in 2019 and continued rebuilding its U.S. presence after WHP Global acquired the company in 2021.
Toys "R" Us shops began opening inside Macy’s stores nationwide in 2022.
Now, with its latest expansion and the new North Georgia Premium Outlets location, the iconic toy retailer is continuing its return to U.S. storefronts.
