Amazon is understood to be mulling an expansion into former Toys R Us sites across the US as the toy retailer begins its final wind down.
According to Bloomberg, sources close to the situation said Amazon has taken an interest in Toys R Us’ estate – which will soon be reduced to 885 vacant stores – allowing it to expand its physical presence quickly and cheaply.
The ecommerce giant will reportedly use the new sites for its own purposes, not in an effort to rescue some of the bankrupt brand’s estate.
