Add a familiar piece of retail history to your workspace with a mouse pad celebrating Toys R Us. The story began in Washington, D.C., in 1948, when Children's Supermart sold baby furniture. In 1957, the business turned its attention to toys and opened its first Toys R Us in Rockville, Maryland. Decades of growth and later relaunches kept the name in public memory. This everyday desk accessory is a fitting choice for collectors, former shoppers, and anyone drawn to the history of American retail.
Founded in April 1948 by Charles P. Lazarus in Washington, D.C., the business began as Children's Supermart, a baby-furniture retailer. In June 1957, Lazarus refocused it on toys and opened the first Toys R Us in Rockville, Maryland. Acquired by Interstate Department Stores in 1966, the chain grew across the United States and expanded into Canada and Britain in the mid-1980s. A 2005 leveraged buyout by Bain Capital, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, and Vornado Realty Trust made it privately owned. The company filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States and Canada in September 2017; its remaining U.S. stores closed in June 2018. In January 2019, global intellectual property excluding Canada transferred to Tru Kids, which relaunched retail activity. WHP Global acquired a controlling interest in Tru Kids in 2021 and arranged a Macy's store-within-a-store rollout beginning in 2022. Standalone and flagship stores also returned, including locations at American Dream in New Jersey and Mall of America in Minnesota. The brand's history also includes related businesses such as Babies R Us and Kids R Us.
