The toy-store giant is making its biggest U.S. comeback in years, but don't expect every location to look like the Toys R Us you remember By Kyle James of ConsumerAffairs October 5, 2026
Toys R Us plans to open 120 new standalone U.S. stores for the 2026 holiday season, bringing its standalone total to 160.

The new stores will carry popular brands including LEGO, Barbie, Hot Wheels, Pokmon, and KPop Demon Hunters, with some locations adding cafs, candy shops, and spaces for product launches.

Shoppers shouldn't assume there's a new store nearby just yet as Toys R Us hasn't released a complete list of all 120 locations or their individual opening dates.

Remember wandering the aisles of Toys R Us with a Christmas list and trying to convince your parents that, yes, you absolutely needed everything on it?

A lot more shoppers are about to get that experience again.

Nearly a decade after Toys R Us filed for bankruptcy and eventually closed its U.S. stores, the retailer is mounting its biggest brick-and-mortar comeback yet.

Toys R Us announced plans to open 120 new standalone stores across the U.S. for the holiday season, increasing its standalone footprint from 40 locations to 160.

But before you picture the giant Toys R Us stores of the 1990s, there are a few things holiday shoppers should know.
First, find out whether you're actually getting one
The headline number of 120 new stores is impressive. But the frustrating part is that Toys R Us has yet to publish a complete list of all the locations or opening dates.

That means shoppers should check the company's store locator rather than assume their local mall is getting one.

And remember that you may already have a Toys R Us closer than you realize. The brand also operates shops inside Macy's stores and has been expanding into airports and Navy Exchange locations.

Pro tip: If you're hunting for one specific Christmas toy, call the store before making a special trip. A new Toys R Us may have a curated assortment rather than every toy available on the company's website.
Many may be holiday pop-ups, not permanent stores
Don't picture Toys R Us suddenly building 120 giant toy stores across America.

The expansion is being run with Go! Retail Group, which specializes in seasonal and pop-up retail. At least some of the new locations will be smaller holiday stores, and the company hasn't said how many of the 120 will remain open permanently.

A large review suggests persistent sleep problems may be linked to brain and overall health By Kristen Dalli of ConsumerAffairs October 5, 2026
A review of more than 1.3 million people found an association between insomnia and a higher risk of stroke.

Researchers also found that people with insomnia were more likely to be hospitalized.

The findings show a link, but they do not prove that insomnia directly causes stroke or other health problems.

Having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting enough restful sleep can make the next day harder. But a new international review suggests that the effects of insomnia may extend beyond feeling tired or having trouble concentrating.

Researchers found an association between insomnia and several brain and mental health conditions, including stroke, dementia, depression, and suicidal behavior. The review also looked at mortality, workplace injuries, and hospital admissions.

One of the clearest findings involved stroke. The researchers found that people with insomnia had a 26% higher risk of stroke compared with people without insomnia. The review also found that people with insomnia were 28% more likely to be hospitalized for any reason.

That doesn't mean someone with insomnia is destined to have a stroke. Instead, the findings point to a relationship worth paying attention to.
Researchers pulled together existing evidence
Researchers looked at previously published systematic reviews and combined evidence from multiple studies rather than conducting one new experiment.

The researchers searched the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases, with the search extending through August 2025. They ultimately included 16 systematic reviews with meta-analyses, which examine results from multiple studies together.

Because there wasn't enough existing meta-analysis data for stroke, workplace injuries, and hospitalization, the researchers also conducted three new systematic reviews covering those areas. For the stroke analysis, they identified nine studies involving a total of 1,343,164 participants. Six of those studies were combined in a meta-analysis.

The researchers also examined evidence involving dementia, depression, suicide, and death. The results weren't equally consistent across every health outcome.
The findings don't prove insomnia causes stroke
The study's results are important, but they need to be put into context. The researchers specifically noted that the review does not prove that insomnia causes stroke.
