Toys & Games Retail Industry Description

Companies that retail toys and games.

Summary

If a computer game were made depicting the war between specialty toy retailers and mass discounters, it would have to be rated “AO” (for adults only), given the violent thrashing the discount chains have handed the specialty players over the past decade. The list of casualties is long and includes the country’s largest toy retailers: Toys ''R'' Us and KB Toys, as well as industry icon FAO Schwarz, among others.
