Toys R Us to pull out of Japan as Don Quijote takes over
Original: トイザらス
Toys R Us is withdrawing from direct store operations in Japan, with operator Don Quijote Holdings acquiring the Japanese business. All roughly 150 Toys R Us stores across the country are expected to be taken over and continue trading under the new arrangement. Japanese outlets including Nikkei, Yomiuri Shimbun and regional papers are reporting the move, which ends the toy chain's decades-long presence as a standalone retailer in Japan.
Why now: The sudden announcement that a familiar childhood toy retailer is leaving Japan and being absorbed by Don Quijote is major consumer news.
