"Game over for Toys R Us" is headling on my facebook feed. looks like they're closing down ALL stores no matter what country they're in....
Should Australians be worried about Toys R Us here with Amazon planning to move into our market in the new few years?

They were still pretty busy. The problem is they took on a lot of debt in the early 2000s that they still haven't paid off. All the money they made was only able to cover the interest.

Here in the Nordic countries the trademark Toys "R" Us is owned by a Danish company TOP-TOY, so not every TRU in the world is under threat. Even if the trademark for some bizarre reason would no longer be available for use in the future, I doubt the stores themselves would go away as they have other names they can use.In my opinion tho there is not very much in common with the TRU's here and on the other side of the pond other than the branding...How about other countries, who are the owners of the trademark around the world?
