IIRC, TRU still constituted 20% of all toy sales this past holiday season, on its own. Meaning, one out of every five toys sold came from TRU. That is not a small number.

Might be slightly different in the US, because you guys usually have longer ways to drive to a store (or multiple different stores in general) compared to us here in Europe. In general, many store owners lose their potential customers to online shopping here and a lot of smaller stores already had to close down in most cities. So that's where I was coming from with my argument.

Speaking of regional differences, I heard they were starting to close stores in the US, but nothing about the fate of TRU in other parts of the world. Does anyone know more about that?
