Toys βRβ Us
A defunct brick-and-mortar toy store that opened in June 1957 in D.C. They had a million toys at Toys βΠ―β Us that I could play with. From bikes, to trains, to video games, it was the biggest toy store their was. Its hay day was in the 80s, when it dominated the toy industry. Toys βΠ―β Us started to decline in the late 90s, when online websites such as Amazon were launched and sold toys more conveniently and at a lower price. Charles Lazarus, the storeβs founder, sold it to Bain Capital and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, along with the real-estate firm Vornado Realty Trust in 2005, for $6,600,000,000. Many people mark this as Toys βΠ―β Usβ official beginning of the end. The purchase meant that the toy chain was now $5,000,000,000 in debt, and struggled to pay it off for the next 12 years. On September 18, 2017, Toys βΠ―β Us filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection, hoping to turn around the business. However, after a horrible holiday season in sales and the debt problem not improving, on March 14, 2018, Toys βΠ―β Us announced it would liquidate all 735 of its US stores by the end of June. Finally, on Friday, June 29, 2018, at 9:00 P.M., the last stores were locked up for good. The beloved toy chain was officially gone.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Nice cup! Seems to be a quality piece.
EVERY mug I have ordered online through Urban Dictionary has exceeded my expectations! Each (5) is of a very high quality: Clear/Clean printing (ink, color, sharpness, clarity), and Outstanding craftsmanship ("feels" good to hold, and you can tell it "ain't made cheap"). Your company should be proud, indeed.
The Urban Dictionary is a unique place to find anecdotal memories on all sorts of stuff. Their ongoing communication once your order is placed is excellent. I have put in a significant number of orders recently, and the communication regarding my order status is excellent. I have had one order misplaced in transit. They have contacted me to say that they will get back to me, but to this point, they have not. So, that's a bit of a caveat in my rating. Overall, I would rate their products and customer service as good. I would not hesitate to deal with them in the future. Fill Your Boots with Whatever You Want to Order. Nice job, "Urban Dictionary."
It is special to have a mug that has to do with my dad who invented a word when we were growing up. He passed away last year. Drinking from this mug is like spending time with him.
My brother Tom became an uncle & urban dictionary created a wonderful uncle Tom mugβ¦
I loved it! Excellent quality!
Itβs great to be able to create your own mug.
Great cup. Thanks for personalizing the message
Cool
I ordered 4 of your mugs -- and have received 3; hopefully, the 4th is on its way! So far, I've received "fame," "620," and "$" ... only needing "hulo." ...It might be a matter of me being patient, that the 4th mug is on its way. However, the 3 received SO far are all EXCEPTIONAL, in every way!!! Mark Moilanen
