Toys ‘R Us Is Coming Back As An Experiential Retailer


Toys R Us experiential retail store

The brand is teaming up with b8ta, the software-powered experiential retailer, to create a new kind of experience that involves “creating an interactive, immersive experience for both children and adults.” There is no denying the brand still has nostalgic equity among parents, and if the experiences are great, this might be just what the brand needs to turn itself around.
