Toys 'R' Us is making a comeback

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — Call it a comeback.

Toys "R" Us has been taking its first steps toward returning to life thanks to a new partnership with another retail giant.

Dozens of Macy's stores across America already have a Toys "R" Us section, with several dozen more on the way. See the lists of active and soon-to-open stores here.

Toys "R" Us went bankrupt in 2018, but a nine-day, grand-opening event starting Saturday will help trumpet the return of the toy giant.

The promotion coincides with the birthday of Geoffrey, the brand's popular giraffe mascot.

Twelve Ohio locations already are open, including those at The Mall at Tuttle Crossing, Easton Town Center and Polaris Fashion Place.

Toys "R" Us is now open in various Macy's stores in 39 states and Washington, D.C.
