Toys R Us specials and catalogues May 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 PEP Stores, Tupperware, Baby City, AutoZone, Babies R Us, Edgars, Sterns, Crazy Store and AquilaZone. Their trading hours are from 9h30 to 17h30 from Monday to Friday, 9h00 to 17h00 on Saturdays, and 9h00 to 14h00 on Sundays.
