Toys R Us specials and catalogues January 2026

Toys R Us is one of the best-known toy stores in South Africa. Toys R Us was established by Charles Lazarus in 1948. It was originally a stockist for baby furniture, but in 1957 they expanded this offering to include toys, and therefore started to trade under the name Toys R Us. Their giraffe mascot, seen in stores and on the Toys R Us catalogue, has been a part of the company since 1969. Globally, they have 1 500 stores, but their biggest branch is in New York, USA, which includes a Ferris wheel and even a massive animatronic T-Rex.

Toys R Us South Africa was established in 1996, and has been a favourite among families ever since. Today there are 30 stores in the country, in cities such as Emalahleni, Claremont, Stellenbosch, Bloemfontein, Bethlehem and Heidelberg.

Toys R Us falls under the Miscellaneous category along with other stores such as AliExpress, AutoZone, Babies R Us, Baby City, Crazy Store, Edgars, PEP Stores, Sterns and Tupperware. Their trading hours are from 9h30 to 17h30 from Monday to Friday, 9h00 to 17h00 on Saturdays, and 9h00 to 14h00 on Sundays.
