Re: Toys 'R' Us plans to close some 146 Kids 'R' Us stores

I was very recently in my local Toys-r-Us for the first time in probably
nearly a year.  Seems like two thirds of the store is now Babys-R-Us /
Kids-R-Us stuff (tons-o' clothing, cribs, car seats) and only a third of the
store is actually Toys.

Also, no more than half mile away, a K-Mart that closed down last year is
being converted into a Babys-R-Us.  (Well, half the K-Mart is; the other
half will be a Bed,Bath,Beyond).  So, it seems like Toys-R-Us will be
directly competing with a Babys-R-Us very soon, unless the Toys store will
re-adapt its inventory to account for the other new store's existence.
