Lafayette, IN, September 22, 2026 — Toys “R” Us is set to significantly expand its retail footprint for the upcoming holiday season, with plans to open an additional 120 standalone stores nationwide. This expansion will increase the company’s total number of stores to 160 locations across the country.

The newly established stores are designed to offer a focused shopping experience, featuring carefully curated toy assortments intended to appeal to consumers during the peak shopping period. While all new locations will showcase these selected collections, a subset of the stores will introduce additional amenities to enhance customer engagement and create unique retail environments.

Among the planned features for select new stores are dedicated content creation spaces, offering areas where customers or influencers might engage with products or create digital content. Furthermore, some of these locations are slated to include specialized candy shops, providing a confectionery element, and cafes, offering refreshments for shoppers.

The strategy behind this expansion appears to focus on adapting to consumer preferences by integrating diverse retail concepts beyond traditional toy sales. The introduction of content creation spaces suggests an alignment with current digital trends, while candy shops and cafes aim to broaden the appeal and dwell time within the store premises.

The exact opening dates and specific geographic distribution of these 120 new stores were not detailed in the announcement. The company has not provided further information regarding the precise scale or operational details of the content creation spaces, candy shops, or cafes, nor has it specified how many of the 160 total locations will feature these additional elements. The focus remains on the expanded store count and the varied offerings designed to meet holiday demand.
