> Do people really go toy shopping at a bookstore? Toys R Us also filed for bankruptcy in 2018, and if they couldn’t compete with Amazon, how could B&N hope to do any better?
Have to disagree here. Yes, I looked at the toys in the book store, precisely because Toys R' Us was gone, along with the local toy store. I ended up buying Pokémon plush toys at a video game store in the mall.
Toys r Us was going down for years before then. B&N had some bad years, but they were never as bad as Toys R Us was in 2008, and they still lasted another decade.
