Toys “R” Us is coming back to Long Island this holiday season as part of a nationwide expansion.
The retailer announced plans to open 30 new stores across the U.S. — 10 of them permanent locations in at least eight states, and 20 seasonal pop-up shops in 16 states. One of those permanent stores will open at Tanger Outlets Deer Park, marking the toy brand’s first stand-alone store on Long Island since its nationwide closure in 2018.
According to a company spokeswoman, the 7,000-square-foot store at 152 The Arches Circle is expected to open in late November, just in time for the holiday shopping rush.
The expansion is part of Toys “R” Us’ ongoing comeback under WHP Global, which began reviving the brand in 2022 with in-store locations at Macy’s across the country.
