History
Toys R Us founder Charles Lazarus started his dream of creating a child oriented business in 1948. He named his store Children’s Bargain Town which was located in Washington, D.C. It was built to serve the post-war baby boom era. He filled his store with cribs and baby furniture and ran the store by himself from bookkeeping to delivering the merchandise to his customers. Later on, he got some request for toys for older children and Lazarus focus changed in 1957 and named his store Toys R Us. In 1966, Toys R Us was acquired by Interstate Department Store. Lazarus used the supermarket model for his store, wherein he allows his customers to pick the products and pay for the items at the cashier. In 1978, Toys R Us went public and used an iconic mascot Geoffrey the Giraffe which was introduced in 1960. In 1983, the company engaged in children’s clothing and opened their first Kids R Us stores in New York and New Jersey. In 1984, Toys R Us opened their first international store in Canada and Singapore. In 2011, the company had a joint venture with Li Fung Retailing in Greater China and Southeast Asia, particularly in Brunei, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand and China.
