Toys R Us, a toy retailer slammed by intense competition from discounters such as Wal-Mart, may sell its toy business and focus on its fast-growing Babies R Us unit, the company said on Wednesday.

Toys R Us plans to take about $150 million in markdowns in the second quarter, primarily to liquidate selected U.S. toy store inventory. It said it would not make a decision to close any of its stores between now and the conclusion of the 2004 holiday season.


Damn, this sucks. Thats one peice of my childhood ripped away. I used to love going to TRU alot, mainly for their Video Games. Althought I don't go there as much nowandays, I bought alot of my games from Toys R US. and I would always play the displayed videogames there. "sigh"
