WAYNE, NJ, 2016-Aug-01 — /EPR Retail News/ — Outlet retailing has taken off over the past couple of years, with a growing number of outlet centers1 and increased popularity among consumers for off-price shopping2.
And, it’s no wonder why – if you’re anything like me, you love a good deal. A friend asks, “Cute top! Where’d you get it?” My response, “At the Outlets – and, get this – it was 60% off!”
There’s a certain thrill that comes with outlet shopping. It’s not just any old shopping trip – it’s a day-long event with friends. Wake up early, grab a coffee, hit the shops and see who can find the biggest deal from some of the top designers and retailers – featured side-by-side in one easy stop.
While there’s clothing, handbag and shoe brands a plenty, a saving grace might just be the fact that the world’s greatest toy store is conveniently located amidst the pack. Need to stave off the kids’ boredom? Check. Looking for a last-minute birthday gift? Check. Seeking out the best deal on toys? Check again.
At around 3,000-5,000 square feet, Toys“R”Us Outlet stores are a lot smaller than the typical 45,000-square-foot full-size locations, but consumers will be amazed by the wide selection, product variety and engaging atmosphere that these discount stores offer.
Want a tour? We’ve got you covered.
Upon entering, you’ll find a LEGO destination and a “What’s Hot” shop, highlighting a rotating selection of top-selling toys, making it easy to find a great gift.
Walking around the store, you’ll come across well-known brands from Barbie to NERF to Fisher-Price; hot properties like Shopkins, Star Wars and Finding Dory; and board games, educational toys, books and more.
Plus – and this is where I get really excited – deal-seekers will find a unique assortment of Outlet-only merchandise at jaw-dropping, discount prices that’ll have you doing a double-take.
Now you’re probably wondering where you can go to find your nearest Toys“R”Us Outlet store. With 12 new permanent stores opening this year, there will be nearly 40 Toys“R”Us Outlet locations to shop at by the end of this year.
