NEW YORK (WKRC) — Just in time for the holiday season, Toys 'R' Us has plans for a big comeback.

The retailer just announced plans to open 120 new stores in the United States. Toys 'R' Us says the new stores will sell toys, collectibles and gifts. Some will have cafes, candy shops and creator studios where content creators can film content.

The company has not yet released a list of new locations or opening dates.

But the real question is will they charge market price for everything, or have the prices higher than competitors for the same thing?

It is nice to see Toys R' Us opening more stores. I hope the toy and video game selection at Toys R' Us will be good.

I'm happy to see Toys R Us return! Maybe one day Radioshack or Circuit City can return, but I doubt it especially with the rising cost of electronics due to AI...

Electronic stores have the most potential to bring unique products, but the average customer knows nothing about how to use them or tell if they got a good deal.

Thought Toys R Us was never gone, just changed to a sort of warehouse distribution with an online store.

Good to see it come back, sadly our former store building has been turned into a petsmart

RadioShack became irrelevant when they went all in on selling cellphones and then the carriers opened their own stores, thus making a trip to RadioShack pointless.

That and buying wires and switches for electronics projects is pretty niche, which is why Hobbytown USA has a RadioShack aisle that sells wires and switches.
