I live in Canada and Toy r us never disappeared. I always considered it an American company and found it strange it was here but not in USA. I also drive by the Toys r us distribution warehouse frequently and it is busy seems very active. Keep up the great videos Jordan! Relatively new to your channel. Good to see it back in USA!

There also used to be K-B Toy Stores in every mall. The stores were smaller than Toys r Us, but they had very high ceilings and were packed with games up to the ceilings. I loved these places.

Toy stores are very nostalgic now to us big kids! So many great memories of running around looking at what is there…. especially at Christmas time

I'm 47 but still remember trips to Toys R' Us. My Pop would give us like $20 and set us loose. Back then $20 got you a nice haul.

Many moons ago, i worked at Children's Palace,the year that Cabbage Patch kids came out,at Christmas time. Talk working in the "ZOO". There literally fist fights over a doll. To the point police had to be called multiple times. We finally had to keep all the dolls in a back storage area. If you wanted a Cabbage Patch Kid you were putting on a waiting list with limit of one per family. You had your choice: boy or girl but that was it. It was super crazy. There was ToysRUs nearby and they had to do the same thing. Great video Jordan.

Toys R Us needs to come back everywhere!

it is good to see TOYS R US back again 👍

Toys r us inside a mall is not the same as when it was its own huge magical store.

I miss malls and their stores in general. I like the idea of just walking up to the item, picking it up to check its quality and feel, before I buy it. I get annoyed having to return things because they were broken, hap hazardly packed and shipped, but also could be stolen off your property. Other issues are that items are not genuine or are missing pieces and damaged. It's a lot easier to check at a store before you buy something. I also miss malls around Christmas time. Use to seem so magical.

I worked at Toys R Us for 24 years and I was sad to see it close, I remember the crazy hours during the season. I made a lot of children happy on Christmas day with that special toy.

I use to love taking my kids to toys r us, but they closed down here in Australia after the collapse of the American stores. Now it’s back in America I just googled it, and yes 2024 is seeing a return here also. 😁 Thanks Jordan. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺

So glad to see Toys r us back in business! I was bummed when they closed down. It was a big part of my childhood. Happy Thanksgiving Jordan!

Man! I haven't been to the Mall of America since I was a teen! Good to see Toys R Us again! 👍 🦃Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!🦃

I celebrated when it shut down. As a corporation, it was very bullish towards smaller toy retailers. The hard hit for me was having a friend sued out of business for having “r us” in the name. It was as old as the store and didn’t sell toys. He died broke and broken. F them.

My grown kids ages 35 and 37 were both so sad when toysrus closed. I hope they start opening up here in Virginia again. It was a real treat for my kids when we would go.

Glad they are back. I think Macy's helped with putting a section in allnthwir stores too.

I hope it comes back all over the country.

Toys R Us reminds me of my wonderful childhood! My older brother got a Christmas part time job at the local Toys R Us and that was one of our best memories- the employee discount was great for my parents who splurged on us kids that year. The tall shelves and smells still make me happy. Wonderful place- so glad it's back! Happy Thanksgiving Jordan and have a wonderful holiday season. You brought me back to a happy time and I needed that now! ☺️😊❤️🥰🌴🦩☀️❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰

This vlog was just the tonic for a dark winters day. Many thanks Jordan.

It's nice to see a Toys R Us store open and a mall too.😊

Let's just hope TRU gets it right this time and doesn't try to charge more than their competitors!!! That's what got them in trouble last time!!! Ty for sharing...

The toy store in BIG was FAO Shwarz. The toy store in Home Alone was Duncan's Toy Chest modeled after FAO Shwarz ❤

My earliest vivid memories of Toys"R"Us is during The Empire Strikes Back release. The toys were stacked from floor to ceiling - aisles of these incredible boxes with huge toys. My family struggled, but my parents always made sure we had a mini toy store in that living room on Christmas day. It was magic! There's video on this platform of news crews grabbing hours of content at Toys R Us in the 70s, 80s, & 90s. It is special to revisit, the nostalgia! Transformers, M.A.S.K., GI Joe, Srar Wars of course. The board games my older sisters and I would play. Their smartest marketing - I don't wanna grow up - was exactly how they made you feel.

Guess I have to take a trip to The Mall of America. I remember going with my mom at the age of 18 to get crayons and coloring books for us to color because we were bored. I miss Toys R Us. My favorite wrestler was The Undertaker. That was way back in the day....lol

The first time I've went to Toys R Us(The new one) was American Dream Mall in NJ and tbh it's not actually a come back it just another version of TRU because the one in Canada has completely everything like from toys games bikes electronics game consoles etc... but the new one here in the US is different than the original one like back in the days. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

What i remember most about Toys R Us in the 80s is the aisles and aisles of shelves with toys stacked to the ceiling. And the video game wall and enclosed glass cases with game consoles and R/C cars inside. It was so magical...

OMG Jordan. A trip down Memory Lane. I loved this place as a kid. Thanks!!!

Welcome back to Minnesota, Jordan! And Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. 🦃🍂🍁

Thanks for sharing. Toy stores were where kids could go and drool over all the new stuff. It was really an escape for most kids. Great to see they are bringing them back.

Happy Thanksgiving to you. I am so thankful for all the years you have entertained me and taken me to so many interesting places. My kids were growing up in the late 70s and 80s so I shopped there often. I love you taking me back to those times.😅

I miss Toys R Us! I live in Southern California where I grew up with it and the same for my kids. It’s so nice it’s still around. Thank you for sharing this video. Very cool. ♥️👍😎

*Starts crying in happiness* I'm so happy they're back in business. I missed Toys R' US so badly. They have always had the best toys around.

For a time my parents took us siblings to toys r us at the end of every month, if our grades were in check. We used to eagerly wait the end of every month and be ready before pops got home from work on that day, then all get in the car and our eyes would be wide open as we approached and parked outside the store. Such simple pleasures we had as kids. God bless all parents and children with moments like these.

Wow, what a great surprise to see Toys R Us back like this. Getting to see this on Thanksgiving made it even more special. Enjoyed hearing about your favorite toys as a kid. Definitely brought back many great memories. Thanks for another great vlog Jordan. 😀

Thank you for the great memories- Love You Jordan 🤟

For us Canadians it never went away. Cool to see it back in the usa,

Pretty cool, it does remind me alot of the Toys r Us stores growing up. I'm 2 years older than you so we pretty much grew up with the same stuff and me being from Louisville we had 3 Toys R US and a couple KB Toys, Children's Palace and a few smaller toy stores but nothing could ever compare to Toys R US. It was where we went for our birthday shopping trip or for a reward for passing each grade in school and so on. The only 2 areas I didn't see in this store that I used to love in the old ones was the section with all the Power wheels, bikes and other ride on stuff and then ofcourse the amazing video game section. Toys R US always had the games and other things you couldn't find anywhere else and I think that's alot of what made it so great. Brings back some amazing memories for sure.

Thank you for this Jordan! It give me hope that Toys 'R' Us might make an even bigger comeback in an area near me!

Wow thank you so much for making this video!! I’m 38 years old and I got a huge nostalgia trip watching this video.

That just took me back to my youth!

Thank you so much for this you made my day, you’re an amazing youtuber

Thanks for this video! Memories of toy shopping for my kids! In Michigan we had Kay Bee Toys too! Miss both stores! They are only there for the holidays in some Malls. Toys used to be great!

Fabulous video. We miss Toys R Us so much. Spent a lot of time in their stores and always got birthday gifts there

You just bought back a world of memories shopping for my own life and grandkids.. thanks for sharing my friend happy holidays and safe travels! GOD Bless 🙏

Happy turkey day everyone 🦃 The viewmaster was created in Oregon so thats Rad, I dont wanna grow up im a Toys R us Kid

Cashier: Will there be anything else? Customer: Yeah, do you have a Miss Piggy? _Bluesmobile comes crashing through wall_

Such a great place! Happy Thanksgiving Jordan! You are always working!

Happy Thanksgiving! I have never been to the Mall of America! I am so glad Toys R Us is open there! I was sad when they closed here in CT. The one I used to go to is now part of Hartford Healthcare. I love that you were so excited to see what the had there, you made it fun!

Growing up, I used to hit up Toys R Us almost weekly. They're not cheap, but they got everything I wanted to buy as a kid.

Great video to kickoff the holiday season Jordan!! 🦃🎄💖 Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family~ Joan

oh my god i always wondered what THE TOY of my childhood was called - viewmaster!! thank you. I loved that thing.

YES!!! BRING BACK BRICK AND MORTAR STORES AND BAN ONLINE SHOPPING! Make people get off their asses again! I used to love going to toys r us as a kid. My mom worked 2 jobs during the holiday season when she could and i remember her taking me there telling me none of the toys were for me. But would ask what should she get for my brother and sisters. 😂😂 Mainly would only ask me when it was for my "brother". I miss my mom. I took my daughter to toys r us a few times when she was very young, but soon after they closed all the stores.

I am 48 and still collect wrestling figures. Great video Jordan. Keep up the great work.

It's not same as used to be. Brings tear to my eyes.

I like how even the ceiling is done up like the old stores used to have it with the exposed HVAC.

In NJ so I was privileged to have one open up in like June at the American Dream mall. It's great to be a kid again!

So cool to see again! Used to take my son to Toys R Us in the 90’s and early 2000’s.

I really hope more of them open. I really miss these stores, it was cool finding things that you can't find in a usual toy section

This was so fun to see Jordan. I wish so much they would bring them back here in Utah every Christmas Tony and I would go there and get our kids Christmas toys and it wasn’t as much of our childhood as it was their childhood and we missed those traditions of going to Christmas toy shopping at Toys “R” Us and then lunch at the mall food court because let’s be quite honest the mall food courts in the 80s and 90s had the best food ever😂😂❤❤ happy Thanksgiving to you, Katie and Jah🦃

While it is exciting to see this, I hope it is not the final version they go with on future openings. Your neighborhood old school Toys R Us that closed in 2018 were way bigger stores and had twice the inventory and selection seen here.

I loved taking our son to Toys R Us and watching this video, I’m anxious to take our grandsons there. I hope they make it back to Orlando.

Happy thanksgiving Jordan. Stay safe

I miss Toys R Us! Happy Thanksgiving Jordan and family! I'm showing my age but my first toy store was Kiddie City lol.

Glad to see Toys R Us back..Tell me this gives you Jingle All The Way vibes being at Mall of America during the holidays. I definitely hope you do the filming locations of that movie one day

Wild! I worked at Toys R US back in the day. Such a fun job.

Happy Thanksgiving. Wishing you the best.😊

It would be awesome just to see the Toys R Us christmas commercials again.

So nice to see a Toys R Us open again! Happy Thanksgiving Jordan!

I hope they do bring it back to Australia too. I bought things for my daughter when she was little. I used to like walking around looking at everything.

I think we are living in the "I don't wanna grow up. I'm a Toys R' US kid" era because we're still buying toys, but as adults 😂. Amirite? Lol We still haven't put our toys away.

Love your video's!

Happy Thanksgiving Jordan

Yay, now all of us 30/40 year olds can Frolic through the store while the kids stay glued to tablet and games 😂

Woohoo! Even stretch Armstrong? I’m so glad you told me these stores are open again. I looked it up and there is one in Eugene. Can’t wait to take my grandson!

Happy Thanksgiving to you Jordan, Katie, Jah and Pawpaw.

What a great plan to show us some great gifts to buy pre- Black Friday, good timing!

I used to love the Toys R Us commercials when I was a child. I begged my mom for a cabbage patch doll. I think I played with that thing for a few months. 😂

Glad toys r us back in business its a nice store good vlog jordan vickie napa california

Where's the video game department? Toys R us always had a great selection of video games and demo kiosks to play. They were the #1 retailer for Nintendo games at one time.

Thanks for the video is a nice one.

Our local Toys R Us closed down about 5 years ago, very sad, now they only use the building for a Halloween store. Really hope another re opens around us in South Eastern Massachusetts somewhere or in the same building as before one day?

Toys R Us near me is inside Macy’s and only a few aisles. I miss the stand alone stores. Great video Jordan!

This warms my heart. ❤

Nice job totally dig out the old school toys Jordan!

Hell yeah ty Jordan for the review! I'm in MN and wanted to see it be4 coming out

Happy Thanksgiving Jordan have a fantastic day

Hi Jordan, my memory of the store is Christmas shopping for my daughter. It was fun, she is 19 now and I miss those days

This is exciting! I hope Colorado bring back toys are us! This is very cool! Happy thanksgiving to you and the familt❤️☺️🥰

I worked at one building bicycles. It was a pretty good job. Bought lots of Star Wars toys with my employee discount. Still have a giant At-At that is still in its shipping box from 2012. I hope that this one stays open and more will open across the country.

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to you Jordan and to all of your subscribers!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you Jordan and Katie and Jah

Oh Please come back to Philadelphia Toys R US. I been buying all my toys online. I miss you so much!🤗💖

That selection! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 80s galore

Thank you for sharing thei iinner child of Jodan the Lion..... did you leave any toys for the other kids Jordan? We loved seeing your inner child.... have fun~ and thanks fo sharing. 🦒🦒

Awesome video, even though we have Toys R Us in South Africa still, it does somehow feel like this vid is from the late 80's. All it needs is Dino-Riders and it would looks like a Toy shop from my childhood hehe. Thanks for the vid

🍁🍂🦃Happy Thanksgiving Jordan and Jah!🦃🍁🍂

Glad to see the come back. Hope they stick around. They should, as long as they are very selective on future locations. Mall Of America was a smart decision, lots of foot traffic still. Could follow up with modest spots at South Coast plaza in San Diego, Florida Mall in Orlando, etc. Nothing extreme like the old Times Square location ;)

The sno cone machine was around when I was a kid, and I'm 20 yrs older than you. I loved that thing!

Great to see it back but man they’re missing one thing, no video games? I’d think they could at least have a little Nintendo section or something

I remember view masters! They were a big thing back then. I never had Legos. We made our own toys in the 70s.
