        that's what private equity basically does. buy with heavy leverage and repaying the enormous debt load through a series of asset sales

        All they really had to do was market better, better inventory controls (more of what sells, less of what didn't) & better store experience.

        They should have pushed Elsa, Legos, Star Wars and electronics, but most of the time you didn't even know they sold electronics

        NAFTA helped Toys R Us by letting them import cheap toys from Mexico and sell them at a higher margin

        Am I understanding this? They acquired a huge amount of debt that they didn't need to?

        They were trying invest in themselves to innovate so they could become competitive again. It didn't work
