Japanese retailer Pan Pacific International Holdings, which owns the discount chain Don Quijote, is reshaping Toys R Us in Japan after acquiring the retailer. The company plans to triple the number of products offered and add more in-store experience areas at locations in Japan, according to a report published on November 6, 2026.
The report did not state the current number of products at Toys R Us stores, so the size of the planned increase could not be compared with a stated base. It also did not give a timetable for the changes or name a company statement announcing them.
A separate release from Pan Pacific International Holdings dated November 2 said the company completed a business transfer on October 30 under which 154 Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores in Japan joined the group. The release said the addition brought the group's total store count to 1,045, including 891 existing stores in Japan and overseas.
The release described the group's growth since it opened its first Don Quijote store in Fuchu in March 1989, and cited the addition of the Olympic group's 98 stores in July. It did not mention the product expansion plan.
