Five years after going into administration, Toys R Us is to make a comeback this summer.

The toy retailer, which had a store in Gloucester, will open nine WHSmith concessions this summer, as reported by Retail Gazette.

The first concession will open next week at WHSmith in York.

It will be followed later in the summer by a new Toys R Us in WHSmith on Cheltenham High Street.

Toys R Us will also launch in Canterbury, Chelmsford, Cwmbran, Oxford, Poole, Reading and Solihull.

Toys R Us disappeared from the UK in 2018, when it went into administration, resulting in the closure of all 100 of its stores.

It made a return to UK last year with the launch of a new website in time for the Christmas trading period.
