Abstract
Toys 'R' Us was founded by Charles Lazarus in 1948 in USA. Lazarus was a visionary and therefore could see the opportunity to establish and grow children oriented business in the post war baby boom era. Starting from 1948, the company went on the growth path becoming world's best toy retailer. Faced by stiff competition from competitors like Walmart, Amazon and Target and due to many other adverse factors, the debt burden increased to unmanageable level and sales declined significantly leading to the demise of an iconic retailer. On 15th March 2018, the company announced that it would wind up its 70 years old extremely successful business and liquidate (sell or close) all its approximately 800 business stores in USA.
