Toys ‘R’ Us to Close 20 Percent of Stores, Expand Focus on Loyalty Programs, Web

by Camren Skelton January 25, 2018

WAYNE, N.J. — Toys ‘R’ Us is planning to shutter up to 182 underperforming stores across the country as part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization plan. The planned closings represent about 20 percent of the retailer’s U.S. store fleet, or a collective 6.9 million square feet. The Wayne-based toy chain, which filed for bankruptcy last September, has been fighting to stay relevant amid competition from the likes of Amazon, Walmart and Target. “Like other retailers, traditional toy retailers have been decimated by multiple forces,” says Peter Braus, managing principal in the New York City office of Lee & Associates. “First, Walmart and Target took away much of the market from specialty toy stores. As Amazon and online retailers began to take a larger and larger share of the market, this became too much for Toys ‘R’ Us and was the nail in the coffin.” Other retail experts agree that competition in the marketplace is coming from all directions. “Even Barnes & Noble has gotten into the game by adding a large assortment of toys to their sales floor,” says Monetha Cobb, managing director of Franklin Street’s Atlanta office. Online sales of toys have picked up in recent years, and are continuing to …

by John Nelson January 25, 2018

AMBLER, PA. — Mortgage bankers and investment sales brokers alike expect multifamily markets in the Southeast to record more investment and financing activity than any other region in 2018. In Berkadia’s inaugural poll of nearly 150 staffers across 60 offices, the company reveals that more than one-third (36 percent) of its respondents predict the Southeast would see the most deals take place this year. “Population influx, continued job growth and significant development stabilization will make the Southeast a destination for commercial real estate growth and investor appetite in the coming months,” says Ernie Katai, executive vice president and head of production at Ambler-based Berkadia. For example, the Atlanta metro area is on track to add 2.5 million people over the next 25 years, the equivalent of adding the entire metro Charlotte population, according to the Atlanta Regional Commission. This type of population growth is attractive for employers looking for a new base of operations. This week French car manufacturer Groupe PSA announced that it chose Atlanta for its North American headquarters, and media outlets are reporting that Facebook is interested in building a massive data center complex in the metro area. Atlanta recently made the short list for Amazon’s second …
