Across New Hampshire — Macy's stores at four New Hampshire malls are celebrating a little nostalgia this week with the return of Toys "R" Us small toy shops within the department stores.

The Macy's at the Mall at Rockingham Park in Salem, Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua, Mall of New Hampshire in Manchester and Fox Run Mall in Newington, are four of 400 Macy's stores nationwide that have welcomed the iconic toy store, which formally launched its liquidation process via a bankruptcy court filing in 2018.

This week, the Macy's stores are celebrating the return of Toys "R" Us with a 9-day Geoffrey's Birthday Celebration/Grand Opening Extravaganza, in honor of the toy store's giraffe mascot.
