Last month, Toys R Us agreed to sell its Canadian business — which consists of 82 stores — to Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited for around $234 million in a bankruptcy court hearing. Those stores might retain the Toys R Us name. In three European countries, however, the stores will be rebranded to fall under the Smyths Toys banner. The Irish retailer agreed to purchase 93 of the retailer's stores — as well as its eCommerce websites — in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. As for Fairfax, company President Paul Rivett says plans for the toy store chain are not limited to Canada, as it is exploring options to keep a foothold in the U.S. and elsewhere. "There's pieces now we can invest in — pods of stores in the U.S. or elsewhere — and utilize the fact that they've got all the systems in Canada," Rivett said.
