Bain capital doesn't own it now.
I could honestly care less. They became overpriced and I was glad the one here went under. The managment sucked and the employees were rude. I think the stores stopped being worth going to

Still I do feel disgusted by what happened and even if it comes back it won't be the same, but overall it will be good to have an actual toy store again

We have already lost many major chains and stores, We have less and less options and certain business move closer and closer to monoply status

We have already lost many major chains and stores, We have less and less options and certain business move closer and closer to monoply statusI worked retail most of my life. I sure will blame them for being rude. They just were lazy and didn't want to answer questions or help people. The stores all sucked and I stopped going years ago because of that. Edit: I know they have exclusives which I never bought because of the area mine was in it was even more over priced that most.
I'd much rather see KB toys or suncoast video return. Those places were my life xD

Those places were my life xDI don't think video stores will ever make a return unless they end up like FYE where they mostly sell merch like Funkos. Digital distribution services like Netflix and Spotify have replaced physical media for the most part. But kids still need toys.
