Goodbye, Toys R Us stores!

Toys R Us has 1,781 stores and 62,000 employees worldwide, including 847 stores in the United States. Today(January 24), Toys R Us announced the plan to close 182 stores nationwide in the USA, creating new opportunities for big-box stores, online retailers and mom-and-pop shops to pick up a larger share of the toy business.

Toys R Us, the world's largest toy retailer, has filed for bankruptcy protection in September 2017. This 69-year-old toy retail giant has been heavily indebted since it was acquired by private equity groups in 2005. In addition, video games might be more popular than building blocks and Barbie dolls in recent years. The rapid development of e-commerce makes it even more destined. The traditional toy retail industry will eventually decline and replaced by the online toy store, that is why many people will choose to purchase affordable Squeeze Toys online.

On December 6th, 2017, Toys R Us confirmed the plan to close one-third of UK stores. That means, starting in the spring of 2018, at least 26 Toys R Us UK stores will be closed and about 800 jobs will be abolished. Meanwhile, other Toys R Us UK stores are also looking to downsize to reduce rents in stores. In this regard, Steve Knights, general manager of Toys R Us UK, explained that because of the current warehouse-type stores opened in the 1980s and 90s, the operating costs are too high in today's retail environment, so the company had to take firm decisive action. Toys R Us U.S. headquarters filed for bankruptcy protection in September last year because of its heavy debt of up to 5 billion U.S. dollars. Due to changes in consumer shopping habits and pressure from other competitors, Toys R Us UK also struggled in the same way as its parent company. For the past eight years, Toys R Us UK has been losing money for seven years.

In 2018, Toys R Us plans to launch an online platform to provide a new online sales channel for its "Toy R Us" and "Babies R Us" businesses at its US and Canada stations. The platform allows retailers and brands to join in for further expanding Toys R Us product line and shortening the time of products to market. By the impact of e-commerce, the bankruptcy rate of the traditional retail industry in the United States is close to the level of the global financial crisis in 2008. The toy industry to the online platform seems to have become an irresistible trend.

Harry And Megan’s Engagement Photos Are The Coolest In The History Of The Royal Family?

On December 22, the British royal family announced on social media the engagement photos taken by Prince Harry and girlfriend Megan Markel at Kensington Palace Gardens, officially announcing their engagement. The 33-year-old Prince Harry of the United Kingdom and the 36-year-old American actress Meghan Markel will hold a wedding at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018. Prince Harry is the second son of the late Princess Diana, and American actor Megan Markle had had a marriage experience before. As a non-royal foreigner, the news that Megan will be the new Duchess has aroused widespread concern. Since the announcement of their love affair, they have drawn much attention from all sectors of society.

Earlier media reports that Queen Elizabeth was not satisfied with Megan. However, the royal family specifically invited the vogue famous photographer Alexi Lubomirski for their engagement photos which look like a magazine cover. British people have given their blessings through social platforms. The prince and Megan are very sweet, intimate, and have a love of happiness in the photo. This is a completely different style from previous royal engagement photos. Let’s have a review of some engagement photos of other royal family members.

The engagement photos of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip in 1947 appear to be more cautious. The two stood side by side with a small distance in between. In 1981 the marriage of Princess Diana and Charles is relatively easier, and the two are wearing the same color of clothing. Princess Diana embraces Charles from behind casually. Prince William and Kate's engagement photos are even more intimate. Photographer Mario Testino, who photographed William and Kate at the time, was the boss of photographer Alexi. Therefore, this group of photos is warm and yet dignified and extravagant.
