Families in Allen will soon have a new destination for children’s toys and games as Toys R Us announces plans to open a store at the Allen Premium Outlets. The announcement, released on September 17, confirms that the retailer will join the outlet center alongside the existing Famous Footwear Outlet.
Location and offerings
The future store will be situated at 820 W Stacy Road, Suite 160, directly next to the Famous Footwear Outlet. According to the company’s website, the Allen location will carry the full range of Toys R Us merchandise, including action figures, books, art supplies, dolls, stuffed animals, puzzles, sidewalk chalk, board games and more. The outlet format is expected to provide shoppers with competitive pricing while maintaining the brand’s classic selection.
Impact on the local economy
Opening a Toys R Us store adds to the growing retail footprint in Allen, which already hosts several major outlet and shopping centers. The retailer’s presence is likely to generate a number of new jobs, from sales associates to inventory and management positions, supporting local employment and offering opportunities for residents seeking work in the retail sector.
Allen already benefits from a robust retail environment, with existing Toys R Us locations in nearby Frisco, Plano, Grapevine and Fort Worth. The new outlet expands the brand’s reach within the Dallas‑Fort Worth metroplex, giving families a convenient option closer to home.
Community relevance
For parents and grandparents looking for birthday gifts, holiday presents or everyday play items, the new store promises a one‑stop shopping experience. The outlet’s proximity to other popular retailers makes it a convenient stop for weekend family outings, supporting the community’s emphasis on family‑centered activities.
While the exact opening date has not yet been announced, the retailer’s press release indicates that the store will open as soon as possible. Residents are encouraged to watch for signage at the outlet center and follow the retailer’s social media channels for updates.
What’s next for shoppers
Shoppers can expect the familiar Toys R Us layout, with dedicated sections for different age groups and interests. The store will also feature seasonal promotions and special events that align with school calendars and holiday seasons, providing families with timely opportunities to save.
Overall, the addition of Toys R Us to the Allen Premium Outlets underscores the city’s continued growth as a retail hub and offers families a new venue to find quality toys and games for children of all ages.
