KB Toys...

According to this, they are closing 156 stores. There is also a list of stores to be closed if you want to see if yours will be closing. We don't have one here so, no, mine isn't closing. http://2aday.wordpress.com/2007/11/06/kb-toys-to-close-156-stores-closeout-sale-begins-118 When they first announced, it was supposed to only be 30 stores.

Never heard of KB toy stores are they part of Toys or Us I wonder. With a sale going on people should drop in and buy there child or children some toys.

Yes, I have a KB toys at the local mall I go to. Though I haven't been there in a while so I have no idea if they are going out of business. It sure is scary that so many places are closing down.

That's a shame KB Toys is going out of business...I didn't go there much but I used to love getting some of the collectible figures like from the movie Lord of the Rings...LOL..have a Frodo, Aragon, etc..I even got a cute Pumpkin thingie for Halloween time some time ago with a Wizard-capped Black cat in it...(gee wonder why I got that..LOL) I remember when that store used to be the clothing store Clark's--do you remember that? Don't know how long you've been in the area. So many stores are closing and no doubt cause of the high rents that are charged. Can't believe the changes in my neck of the woods, like along Broadway..so many places went out of business...then someone new comes along, but then they don't do well, and close also

Yep here in Texas too..they announced all the stores at Xmas time here which was nice so people could get great bargains... Laughs at you and Irish stuffing yourselves..

No KB toys, but lots of other businesses that are going under. Scary, isnt it?

Well, the only KB Toys we have had in our area closed or is closing this month due to the Economy as well. It was in an outlet mall about an hr. or so from here. We have a lot of Toys R Us around here so most people around here would be lucky to ever even remember one. But it is a shame to see all of these Name brand Businesses having to close due to the Economy as well.

We do have a KB Toy store in our area but haven't been there in a very long time so don't know if they are going out of business. I do need to get to a toy store within the next couple of weeks and get something for our 4 yr. old grandson. Something small so it can be mailed easily. I think this lead scare in toys and clothing is putting all kinds of businesses in distress. Saw something on the news the other night that one little dress, at a resell it shop, to test would cost $50.00. It's pretty sad what's happening with this scare.

We noticed our KB store closing as we were Chritsmas shopping. Of course we had to stop and see what they had. I'm glad we did, they had everything for 40% off. We bought some presents for the grand kids. It's sad to see so many business close.

We used to have a KB Toys in one of the malls here but it closed down a few years ago. Our ToysRUs stays really busy here though.

Hello howard96h, We don't have KB Toys store here. But looking at the current economic situation, I believe more and more companies will be going out of business.

Yes, I have heard that they are all going out of business. It is kind of a shame, but honestly since they were usually located in malls it was difficult to buy toys there, because then you had to carry them all throughout the mall to get them back to your car, and many toys are big and hard to carry. But they did have pretty good prices. I am sorry to see them go.

in my area not only that kind of shop are closed.most of the shop this time dont run very well.

Yea the Kb toy is closing in my area. The economy is going everything is going out of business. A couple of people I know got laid off. I feel bad for them, all we got left is wal-mart. Wal-mart has everything and they keep making more stores everywhere, theres one every 10 miles where i live. Theres like one kb toys i know of thats still in business but probly closing up in a month or so.

We lost pout KayBee tpoy store many years ago. But they are another business affected by the economy. I had heard they were closing down a month or so back actually. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Our mall KP Toys has a big sign going out of business. Its been empty most of the holiday season with few customers. Its sad to see another one is gone.

Yes we have one by us as well, and I do believe they are closing up,everybody has to use their gift cards by Monday, otherwise they will not be any good. I saw it on the news this morning.

Hey howard! Yes, All the KB stores are going out of business! I know! It's sad! They are bankrupt I think! I read something about them on the internet and saw something about it on tv, but I really wasn't that interested since I don't by toys! But, I know that they have been around for a long time and just like so many other stores they are closing shop too!

hello howard i noticed that KB Toys in the mall when i was Christmas shopping was closing here as well. i should rush over there and see what kind of deal's that they might have on any toys and stash them until this year for Christmas. lol you know? i guess that KB Toys couldn't compete with Toys R Us. take care and have a beautiful afternoon.
