Katy Freeway Lands Houston's First Toys "R" Us Superstore

This from several sources, including language from the Houston Business Journal:

Toys “R” Us Inc. has returned to the Katy Freeway with the opening of the first “R” superstore in the Houston market.

The Wayne, N.J.-based retailer opened a new 65,000-square-foot store at 9730 Katy Freeway, on Oct. 23.

The new store combines the merchandise assortment of a full-size Toys “R” Us store and a Babies “R” Us store, offering a single location for parents to find toys for kids and everything they need for a baby.

Following Hurricane Ike, the company closed its 45,000-square-foot Toys “R” Us store at 9655 Katy Freeway, due to substantial damage caused by the storm.

The Houston “R” superstore is the fourth of its kind to open in Texas, with others located in Allen, Irving and Dallas.

In addition, Toys “R” Us has opened a “Holiday Express” store in The Galleria mall as part of an expansion plan that includes more than 80 Holiday Express temporary Christmas stores in malls and other shopping centers nationwide, and more than 260 Toys “R” Us Holiday Express shops within the company’s Babies “R” Us stores.
