Toys R Us is back from the Dead!

Toys “R” Us is officially back and this time, it’s got its very own store at the Mall of New Hampshire in Manchester. That’s right, not just a section inside Macy’s, but a full Toys “R” Us storefront dedicated to bringing back the magic of toy shopping the way we remember it.

After years of being gone from malls across the country, the return of Toys “R” Us is hitting just in time for the holiday season, giving families a chance to shop, explore, and relive the excitement of walking into a store made entirely for kids (and the kids at heart). The new store features shelves lined with everything from LEGO sets and Barbie dolls to Hot Wheels, board games, and all the latest trending toys.

Shoppers can expect a bright, colorful space packed with hands-on displays, larger-than-life signage, and of course Geoffrey the Giraffe welcoming guests back. It’s designed to bring back that feeling of fun and discovery, something online shopping could never quite replace.

For Manchester families, this opening is a big deal. It adds new life to the Mall of New Hampshire, gives parents a nostalgia trip back to their own childhoods, and offers kids a real-deal toy store experience for the first time in years. Whether you’re shopping for holiday gifts or just stopping in to browse, one thing’s for sure — it feels good to say “I’m a Toys ‘R’ Us kid” again.
