Toys R Us Canada History
Toys R Us Canada first opened its doors in 1984 in Montreal. The company quickly grew to become one of the most popular toy retailers in the country, with over 80 stores across Canada. They had something for everyone—action figures, baby dolls, board games, and construction sets. With their bright lights and a vast selection of toys, it was easy to see why children and adults flocked there.
From its humble beginnings as a single storefront in Montreal, Toys R Us Canada became one of the largest toy sellers in North America.
However, times and consumers’ tastes and shopping habits changed. In 2004, Walmart overtook them as North Americans number-one toy retailer. This was partly due to Walmart’s aggressive marketing strategy targeting parents and children with discounts and promotions that Toys R Us couldn’t match.
In addition, the rise of online shopping meant that customers no longer needed to visit physical stores when they could shop online. They were close to closing their doors in 2018 but managed to continue.
