The amazing disappearing toy store

The toy sector,which has already witnessed the near-total disappearance of former giants FAO Schwartz and KB Toys, is now seeing the continued shrinkage of former category leader Toys R Us.

The Chicago Tribune reports that TRU will close 73 stores this spring, in addition to converting twelve other stores to Babies R Us outlets. This will leave 587 Toys R Us stores.
