Toys „R“ Us set to open First Airport Store at DFW
A miniature Toys „R“ Us store will open at the Dallas Forth Worth International Airport (DFW) later this year.
According to DFW, the new store will open near Gate A28 in Terminal A in time for the holiday rush. The store will be operated under a licensing agreement similar to the Toys “R” Us flagship store at American Dream in New Jersey and the Toys „R“ Us at Macy's locations.
“Every trip is better with a trip to Toys ‘R’ Us on the way,” wrote DFW representatives in a Facebook post this week.
Similarly, FAO Schwarz has retail outposts at a handful of airports in the U.S. and Mattel once operated its own store at LAX.
Toys “R” Us is owned by WHP Global and currently maintains a global footprint of more than 1,300 retail locations spread across more than 30 countries. The company will relaunch Babies “R” Us in the U.S. later this year with a flagship destination at American Dream and is plotting a major expansion of the Toys “R” Us brand in Mexico.
