Toys “R” Us hopes to return to Kamloops after shuttering next week

Toy “R” Us will be closing its Kamloops location Jan. 15 but the company hopes to return.

“Unfortunately, the Kamloops location will be closing due to completion of the lease,” said Tom, a customer service agent who wouldn’t give his last name.

The company hopes to eventually operate in Kamloops again, Tom said, and he wants customers to know they can still order stuff online.
