ToysRUs Dallas Airport Duty Free Americas

More Toys’R’Us travel retail stores are planned for the Americas region.

The first Toys‘R’Us airport store has opened in Terminal A at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), in partnership with Duty Free Americas.

Duty Free Americas CEO Jerome Falic commented: “We are delighted to unveil the first-ever Toys‘R’Us airport store in the Americas ahead of the holiday season. Duty Free Americas will continue to play an integral role in the expansion of Toys‘R’Us travel retail stores in the region.”

Designed for Toys‘R’Us kids of all ages, visitors to the store are greeted by a life-size custom Geoffrey the Giraffe 3D sculpture, described as ideal for family photo opportunities.

Travellers can then enjoy a curated selection of popular toys, games and exclusive collectibles. The store also features demonstration tables for hands-on play, designed to make the airport store a fun Toys‘R’Us experience that caters to both on-the-go gift buyers and parents travelling with children.
