I think it would cost too much money for the Corporation that bought it to buy the US locations as well The US must have way more no doubt, I'm sure it would have to be Billions to buy the US operations We don't have that many here actually at least not in my area. I've known of maybe 3 or 4 in the Toronto area (there may be more nearby tho that I haven't seen but my point is that it isn't one of the huge chains here) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

River 128,603 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 tbh I don't think they need to be saved, after they milked us all around the world with super expensive prices for plastic toys or a few brands that costs half price on Amazon... they deserve it, the customers made their decision and found other better places to buy toys.. this is the price of free market.. I know that the workers had nothing to do with it and it's sad that they'll be unemployed, but if we think that way, those big companies will continue to milk us get richer while paying the minimum to those employees.
