News of Toys ‘R’ Us closing their doors shook many young adults. Many of us hold memories of roaming their aisles desperately searching for a new toy. Who can forget their jingle and seeing images of Geoffrey the Giraffe? Toys ‘R’ Us represents happy times when we were young and full of dreams.
Their Downfall
What caused the downfall of this iconic store? No one is certain. Some people blame millennials who delayed having children, while some other people blame competitors like Walmart and Amazon. Billionaire CEO, Isaac Larian, believes the company’s debt crippled them. Whatever the case, this beloved store is at a crossroad.

Larian is a man of action. This CEO isn’t afraid of a challenge. As the CEO behind the Bratz dolls and Little Tike toys, he has proven he has what it takes.
