Anybody who has ever forgotten your child's friend's birthday laments the loss of Toys R Us. Upon the closure announcement, I immediately added Picolo Mondo to Waze.

No doubt true, but the number of those stores has declined over time. My guess is you’ll see vertically integrated stores from LEGO and other brands pop up.

Small comfort if you're selling large toys that small shops don't have the floor space to stock.
"The departure of Toys 'R' Us from the retail landscape will give a boost to neighborhood toy shops.
That’s according to the American Specialty Toy Retailing Association, which predicted that 2018 will be the best year yet for neighborhood toy stores nationwide as consumers flock to these stores in the wake of the closure of Toys 'R' Us."
