Toys R Us is returning to metro Atlanta. All Macy's stores across the country will include an in-store Toys R Us and be stocked with toys from the storied brand, Macy's said Monday. The Toys R Us shops will range from 1,000 square feet up to 10,000 square feet in flagship locations in Atlanta (Lenox Square), Chicago, Honolulu, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York and San Francisco. The Toys R Us sections are designed to stand out and will include hands-on demonstration tables for customers to try out and play with the toys. The stores will even feature a photo opportunity with the "Geoffrey on a Bench." The stores are set to begin opening later this month, with all locations expected to be in place by October 15. The partnership marks a distinct pivot for the toy brand that went out of business in 2018 following bankruptcy and has tried previously to make comebacks without much success. In 2020 while in Houston, we visited one of two stores the company had reopened but as fun and different as the store was, it became a casualty of COVID. This new attempt, with shop-in-shop stores. versus their own standalone stores, is likely a less risky, less costly endeavor that should be more successful.
Clutch is finally open off Buford Highway in Brookhaven. The Caribbean-American eatery which we first reported was "opening soon" in March 2019, opened July 9 at 1860 Corporate Boulevard, near the Pink Pony, where it occupies a onetime Denny's. The restaurant is owned by serial entrepreneur Lemont Bradley, also proprietor of Auto Spa Bistro and Eco Car Spa near Georgia Tech. In a release earlier this week it was revealed that Bradley had partnered with Grammy-award winning rapper Lil Baby (Dominique Jones) to hire as many as 100 young people in an effort to stem the rise in crime in metro Atlanta. “With the crime rate surrounding scams, robbery, and even murder being so high, we are looking to provide a positive outlet and revenue stream to those who are looking for an income,” Baby and Bradley said in a joint statement.
