Many years ago TRU had a policy of matching any competitor's advertised price. In my area it was meant to drive Children's Palace out of the market. When they achieved that, they stopped honoring the policy. or years after that I referred to them as the Toy Museum, go to look but don't touch, then buy it somewhere else. At the time I had Walmart, Target and K Mart, and competition insured that it was possible to find anything at at least one of them. I was also asked by a TRU checker for my phone number and/or zip code. This was the first time I was ever asked for this at any store. I asked why. She said it was to determine where they needed new stores. I said 'You need to focus on maintaining the stores you have.' Finally, TRU is/was planning a major overhaul of their floor layout. This was planned for the Humble, Tx. store which has been closed since it was flooded out. It will likely not reopen at all now.
