Founded in 1948 in the U.S., Toys “R” Us is an international toy and juvenile-products chain store. Of the 1,700 plus total stores globally, 700 are in the U.S., 100 are in the U.K., all of which were announced to be closed. The fate of the other 900 stores in 36 counties, like 160 in Japan, 100 in China, and 80 in Canada, is uncertain.

However, that didn’t seem to be enough to compete against online businesses of other retailers or cover the loss in onsite stores. The problem of the toy giant started even before online shopping became mainstream in toy retailing business. So, what made the toy retailer go bankrupt?
