Summary

  • North Georgia Premium Outlets in Dawsonville has listed a standalone Toys R Us store as “coming soon,” though the company has not disclosed an opening date.
  • The Georgia site is part of a broader push announced Thursday to open 120 standalone U.S. stores before the holiday season through a partnership with Go! Retail Group.
  • Toys R Us currently operates 40 standalone stores and shop-in-shop locations inside Macy’s stores nationwide, giving the expansion a much larger physical footprint.
  • The rollout marks another step in the brand’s comeback after Toys R Us filed for bankruptcy in 2017 and closed its stores by 2018.
