Toys R US was started as a baby furniture store in 1948 by Charles Lazarus who was only 25 years old. The original audience was post-war Baby Boomers. It only made sense that this child oriented business would eventually add toys, books, and bicycles. Toys R US was able to succeed due to the short attention of span children because as soon as it they feel out of love with one toy, it turned out that parents would have to return to purchase a new one. Toys R US today has branched out in a variety of directions, but all still center around the child or the idea of still wanting to be a kid.
