Hello, I'm an expert in business and corporate structures. Let's dive into the details about Toys R Us.
Toys R Us was originally a public company, having been listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol "TOY." However, in 2005, the company was taken private in a leveraged buyout by a group of investors including private equity firms Bain Capital, KKR, and Vornado Realty Trust. After years of financial struggles, Toys R Us filed for bankruptcy in 2017 and eventually closed its U.S. stores in 2018. In 2019, the company announced a comeback with a new business model and reopened some stores in the U.S. under new ownership.
So, as of my last update, Toys R Us is a private company under new ownership.
