Missed Opportunities
Toys 'R' Us is one of many victims of the recent retail apocalypse. Now that its assets are being liquidated, we're learning that the company missed some potentially significant opportunities:
Among the URLs purchased by Toys ‘R’ Us and now up for sale are sex-toys-r-us.com, kinkytoysrus.com, and aforementioned adult-toys-r-us.com. There are also more benign domain names, like toysrussucks.com, burgers-r-us.com, and cigars-r-us.com.
If Toys 'R' Us had associated businesses for those URLs, it probably wouldn't be in its current financial situation.
