Toys “R” Us and Macy’s team up for the Holiday Season…

Toys “R” Us is teaming up with Macy’s for the Holiday Season, placing pop-up stores in 24 Macy’s locations. These Toys “R” Us Express-branded toy departments will be open from roughly from Oct. 15, 2012, to Jan. 15, 2013. Personally, I think this is a great move for Macy’s, as their “toy departments” have been pretty weak for several years, especially since losing their FAO Schwarz-branded departments in 2009 – interestingly, after Toys “R” Us took over that company.

“Macy’s is a premier holiday shopping destination, and many of our customers have toys on their gift-giving lists. By partnering with Toys“R”Us, the authority in the toy space, we can offer a comprehensive toy assortment and one-stop shopping in this largest gift-giving time of the year.” Jeff Gennette, Macy’s chief merchandising officer
