Toys R Us… Resurrected?

It has been a sad time since the iconic and universally beloved store of Toys R Us has closed down. The death shocked millions as now during their shopping seasons, many children would go heartbroken as their favorite toys would be that much less common. Birthdays? Sorry dear but your son is now going to have to live on without his brand new, mint condition star destroyer lego set. For Black Friday, YOU will no longer be able to buy that brand new doll that your daughter has just begged for as it completes her collection. Worst of all though, Christmas is now ruined because when your family goes down to that tree there won’t be as many gifts. This historic moment in American society has undoubtedly shook the mindset of families across the nation as they must now struggle and move on from this tragedy. An unforeseen and, quiet honestly, almost disrespectful increase has been seen in thrift stores and toy stores not quite as large as the super brand. This influx in smaller business sales as not been confirmed to be a connected motive for the death of the glorious toy store, but studies are currently in the works as America’s finest researchers have been involved in this case. One wonders though. Is this really the last that has been seen of the magnificent store Toys R Us? It cannot be said for certain. Many would argue this untimely death was important for the “smaller man” in the toy industry, but many more would argue that the sight of their childhood in a casket was too much for them to bare. That is why, one Giraffe decided to make a change. That is right, although his store died Geoffrey the Giraffe (former mascot) has been conducting extreme experiments to try to revitalize the store. Eye witness reports have indeed stated seeing lighting on stormy nights strike what appeared to be the original Toys R Us store on top of a raised, metal platform roughly 50 meters into the sky. It is unknown whether or not these methods have worked in reviving the distinguished store, and if they are in fact even legal as regulated laws don’t currently include those of the animated family. Many are becoming overly optimistic, myself included, as Geoffrey has come with out with a statement about the experiment. He has decided to open “Geoffrey’s Toy Box”. It is under speculation as of now if this means the Giraffes’ experiments and tests were a success, if he is simply hoping for the best, or if he has moved on from the poorly deceased store and wants to carry on its legacy in a newer, brighter, and younger face. There have also been reports of previous workers gathering in the streets around the nation in celebration for a chance to move back in to their home away from home. Sadly though, that is all we have currently on the reports of the dreadful death and potential and marvelous resurrection of Toys R Us as the new and improved Geoffrey’s Toy Box.
