Toys “R” Us was founded way back in 1948 in Washington, D.C., and has its headquarters in Wayne, New Jersey. As anyone familiar with the name will know, the company is known to sell toys to kids around the world.
With almost 1, 800 locations around the world, the company has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as of September 2017 for both America and Canada.
It was officially announced on March 15 of this year that the franchise would be officially going out of business, selling all 800 of the stores on U.S. soil.
While other countries have said they will continue operations and will be unaffected, it is in the minority.
Hawkins accompanied Ryder this past week to make one final trip to Toys “R” Us for a toy hunt to collect various toys and action figures together, with Hawkins’ daughter tagging along.
Check out what Hawkins had to say on Twitter:
