In May, new details emerged on the planned comeback of KayBee. Looks like they will begin by testing the waters. This will happen by using the old Spirit/Halloween City tactic of "pop-up stores". This will help them gauge the interest level without committing a bunch of resources. A very smart move if you ask me. So we need to be sure to give them our business this holiday season. I want us all to commit to shopping there and making some purchases for the holidays. Every little bit may help. In time, they hope to have 600 to 800 permanent locations in malls and outlets. That would be SWEET!!! Quote Disable Sigs You love this signature.

Though, it's a damn shame my copy got destroyed after my lemonade spilled on the cartridge. Quote Disable Sigs

Not every retail operation is going to go bankrupt, but it's an industry that's going to significantly shrink as the years go on. KB Toys has already gone bankrupt once before, it could easily follow the same path again. But then again, maybe the nostalgic feels of Toys R Us going bankrupt has awakened the push in some people to keep these businesses afloat. Quote Disable Sigs Insert funny signature here
