Anonymous person buys $1 million dollars of toys from Toys R Us to donate

[gregjrichards]

As Toys 'R' Us stores across the country closed their doors for good on Friday night, one location in North Carolina got $1million-worth of help in clearing out its remaining inventory.

An anonymous buyer spent $1million buying all of the remaining toys at the store in order to donate them, employees at the store in Raleigh told CBS17.

Instead of spending their last day watching bargain hunters pick through the shelves, those employees closed the store to customers and devoted their time to boxing up the toys for the secretive buyer.

This is an amazing gesture thank you so much to this person. I would love to help others on this scale.

Great story!
I am so sad to see TRU close. The end of an era. I worked in one of their offices for around 10 years. I left 17 years ago when my son was a baby.

It is very sad indeed I’m so sorry for all the staff.

Thank you gregjrichards for this news of compassionate and great generosity.

I, too, am so sorry for all of the staff.

The anonymous donor brought the staff some joy on their last day of work through his generosity. They will always remember that part as well.

Thanks for posting this @gregjrichards

A wonderful gift from a very thoughtful human being. Prayers that the staff of ToysRUs stores find new jobs. My children and I spent many happy years in our local store when they were young.
