It's rare that I get to share good news about the Retail Apocalypse, but I have some this week. CBS Los Angeles reported earlier this week that Toys 'R' Us Is Making A Comeback, 2 New Stores Opening This Year.
The beloved toy store that closed all of its U.S. stores last year has plans to re-open in 2019.Bloomberg Markets and Finance has more in Toys 'R' Us Plans to Make a Christmas Comeback.
Maybe American kids will only have to live through one Christmas without Toys “R” Us. About a year after shuttering U.S. operations, the remnant of the defunct toy chain is set to return this holiday season by opening about a half dozen U.S. stores and an e-commerce site, according to people familiar with the matter. Bloomberg's Matt Townsend reports on "Bloomberg Markets: What'd You Miss?"Matt Townsend doesn't seem very optimistic. Still, I should have seen it coming. Toys R Us is like Twinkies. The products are too valuable and someone will make them. Not only was that true of Twinkies and Toys R Us, it's apparently true for RadioShack. The dead, they rise again!

ReplyDeleteI was chatting with a friend today
I think you’ll find it funny
He’s Just won Thirty Thousand Pounds
Now Jack Pott’s in the money!
So then that got me thinking
Of some other folk I knew
Like my mate who’s with the Coast guard
Aaron C Reskew
If you have some dodgy plumbing
And you need to call him out
Then do yourself a favour
Give my mate Lee King a shout.
We also have a Dentist
He’ll clean your teeth for you
You’ll find him in the phone book
And his name is Mr Chu
It’s nice and quiet where I live
We rarely hear of Crime
But Robin Holmes has just been caught
And now he’s doing time
And the officer that found him
The one we have to thank
Is a happy Policeman once again
So thank you Robin Banks
Now Holmes received his sentence
From a judge called Laura Norder
A lovely looking Scottish lass
From just across the border.
A mile away, there is a Zoo
It’s run by Jim Pansy
At Christmas time it’s all lit up
By a man called Chris Mastry
Chris is the brains behind the team
That help throughout the season
He leads a team of 3, there’s him
Phil Cool and Crispin Evin
By the Zoo, there is a park
2 ladies keep it clean
Grace Quirell tends to flowering shrubs
Supplied by Teresa Greene
It’s in the park I walk my dog
I call her Nora Bone
We stop and play for just an hour
Then make our way back home
We pass the school where I first met
The singer, Carrie Oakey
We’d play around in music class
With drum sticks she would poke me!
I won’t forget the teacher’s name
She taught Carrie to sing
A friend to students young and old
Her name, Amanda Lynn
Amanda is the clever sort
The smartest one we know
She met her boyfriend on the net
His name’s Philip Eno
There’s one or two, I haven’t met
To this I must confess
But if I tell you who they are
I’ll let you do the rest
A man named Horace cope moved in
He seems a mystery
So if you find out what he does
Then please get back to me
And Sheila Blige with low cut vests
She hangs around my street
She’s not the sort of woman that
I’d really want to meet.
Joe Kerr, now he’s a funny man
He likes to play the fool
And next to him a lady and
I think her names Jean Poole.
Joe, he has a brother,
The Spanish sounding, Juan
He tends to live the single life
A solitary man.
So I’ve given you an insight
To the people that I know
I’ve rambled on for far too long
And now I have to go.
