Toys "R" Us is a retail chain of stores primarily specializing in toys. Between September 2017-June 2018, the chain closed its American-based stores, though in 2022 began to relaunch itself, including a location in Ohio.
Chris says he volunteered as assistant Gym Leader at the Pokémon League at the Charlottesville Toys "R" Us between June 2000 and June 2002,[2] after his move back to Ruckersville. It is unknown if he actually had duties, or if he was just joining in with the children.
According to first-hand reports of his games at Toys "R" Us, Chris attempted to use the fake cards he made in battles. Some of these cards are extremely unfair and overpowered. Chris was reportedly kicked out of the store for insisting that he be allowed to use them, even though they would be outright unfair to whoever played against him.[citation needed] The look upon a child's face as Chris lays down a Virgin with rage card would have been priceless.
Toys R Us was a target of Chris's during his Sonic Boom Protests. Around November 2014, Chris hid as many blue-armed Sonic the Hedgehog toys as he could find to prevent them from being sold, claiming they remained hidden for over a month until 20 December.[3]
In September 2016, he was photographed here by someone who gave the following account:[4]

In March 2018, after Toys R Us announced they had filed for bankruptcy and would shut down their stores, Chris tweeted about his sadness.[1] He encouraged people to go out and buy items from stores (even if, as it's a children's store, they didn't need it) in hopes of the management changing their minds and keeping all of it stores open forever, neglecting to realize bankruptcy is usually non-reversible (unless in certain circumstances, such as the company being bought out, or only closing a few stores, cutting back, decreasing size, etc) and many stores were already in liquidation sales.
