Though their presence has diminished domestically, Toys R Us and Babies R Us together still have over 900 branded stores across 25 countries worldwide.

The death of Toys R Us did not come due to increased competition from the internet. It died — at least in the United States — because the company had a tremendous amount of debt due to a leveraged buyout used to take the company private. Toys R Us is a lost example.

The company also lost its momentum because it didn’t stay ahead of the technology, unlike its competitors which were embracing technology and innovation to adapt to the changing preferences and buying habits of the new generations.
