Toys "R" Us is one of the most iconic brands in the retail toy industry, originally founded by Charles Lazarus in the United States in 1948. What began as a baby furniture store eventually transformed into a toy supermarket giant with the signature mascot, Geoffrey the Giraffe. Over decades, the brand became a global powerhouse, defining the toy shopping experience for generations.

While the original American company filed for bankruptcy in 2017/2018, the brand underwent a significant restructuring. Today, Toys "R" Us is owned and managed by WHP Global, a leading brand management firm based in New York. Under this leadership, the brand has seen a revival through strategic partnerships, such as placing shop-in-shop locations within Macy's department stores and expanding internationally through various licensing agreements.

Products sold within Toys "R" Us stores are manufactured globally, primarily in countries like China, Vietnam, and India, depending on the specific toy brand (such as LEGO, Mattel, or Hasbro) being sold. The brand continues to signify a premier destination for toys, games, and baby products worldwide.
