Ever since Toys "R" Us officially closed all of its doors in 2018 [1], it's been hard to find a replacement. As a new parent interested in trying out products before making big purchases (especially things like car seats that you can't return after opening [2]), I've noticed this void considerably. Good news is brewing, though.

According to CNBC, Toys "R" Us will return under a new name, Tru Kids [3], and open up toward the end of the year, likely before the holiday shopping season. Tru Kids [4] is the parent company that owns Toys "R" Us, Babies "R" Us, and Geoffrey brand names. There aren't tons of details yet, but here's to hoping the giraffe will make a comeback [4] as well.
