Where I grew up, Toys R Us was the grand daddy toy store of them all. They were the place to go for anything toy related. I even met the David Hasslehoff at the one in my city, that’s right, the Hoff himself! I can say at one point in my life I was literally standing a few feet away from the Hoff. I don’t think anyone gave him a hassle either. This was before his long slow motion run on Baywatch, the one along the beach. He was touring when he was Michael Knight in Knight Rider. Ah Memories.
Toys R Us is dedicated to kids with a wide variety of toys and products for babies. The specialty baby stores are called Babies R Us. They have about 600 Toys R Us store and 260 in the USA and almost 700 stores internationally. Their mascot is Geoffrey the Giraffe.
