When Does the Standalone Toys ‘R’ Us in Norridge Open? What to Know
About the Opening
After a few holiday seasons of solely existing inside Macy’s store, iconic toy brand Toys “R” Us is reopening standalone brick-and-mortar stores once again, with a suburban Chicago mall garnering one of the first locations. On Saturday, October 26, Toys “R” Us will open a 10,000 square-foot store at the Harlem Irving Plaza, located in Norridge.
History of the Brand
The opening follows a tumultuous past several years for the chain that included bankruptcy in 2018 and the arrival of Macy’s pop-ups nationwide in 2022. Toys “R” Us plans to open up to 24 flagship standalone stores under current plans.
What to Expect
The new store is a “modern retail concept” with an immersive shopping experience featuring popular toys and brands like LEGO, Barbie, Hot Wheels, Nerf, Paw Patrol, and more. Saturday’s grand opening celebrations will include in-store activities, face-painting, balloon twisting, swag bags, giveaways, and more. The celebration is open to the public and begins at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday with a ribbon cutting at the store, located at 4104 N. Harlem Ave., featuring Geoffrey the Giraffe.
Other Locations
In addition to the Norridge location, other future Toys “R” Us stores are planned at the Mall of America, American Dream megamall in New Jersey, and inside the Dallas Fort Worth Airport. This new store joins a handful of other pop-ups inside Macy’s stores nationwide.
