TRU grew up and became a VCF
WEEK 39 – Toys “R” Us Closing, Columbia, SC (III)
Last but not least, here’s an “epilogue” photo of sorts to wrap up this album. Shortly after TRU’s closure, this store was backfilled with a Value City Furniture, which itself relocated from elsewhere in Columbia. Its grand opening occurred in June 2019, approximately a year after TRU’s departure. The space is shared with “Designer Looks,” which I assume is the business name of the VCF franchisee.
I think what they did to the exterior looks pretty nice – much better than when TRU was here, sad to say – and the interior looks to have been very heavily renovated as well. You can see some photos of that over at Google Maps.
Hope y’all enjoyed this last farewell tour of Toys “R” Us to make it to my photostream. As usual, I’ll have more to share from the Columbia area sooner or later. More immediately, though, our next, much more local destination begins uploading on Saturday, so stick around for that!
