It will the end of an era if and when they go. If you were a '70’s kid, going to a TRU store was a unique experience. They had everything you could think of. The older store exteriors were colorful and stood apart.

I was at a grand opening for an L.A. area store when I was little. I think the Banana Splits were there.

Remember when Star Wars had it’s own aisle?

Still regularly shopped there well into the 90’s. They had about the best videogame selection back in the day.

Last time I was in one, I was looking for Star Wars Viewmaster reels, and had to explain to a confused employee just what Viewmaster is. 😕
