What's left of Toys R Us is returning for the holidays, with Geoffrey's Toy Box setting up shop this month in about Kroger stores in nearly 30 states, the nation's largest supermarket chain said Friday. The grocery chain is the latest retailer to make a play for former Toys R Us shoppers. Walmart and Target are expanding their toy sections, and Amazon is sending physical toy catalogs to customers.

A company called Geoffrey LLC was formed last month after the funds that took control of the retailer's assets reversed plans on auctioning off its intellectual property, opting to try to resuscitate the brand instead.

Other costing saving measures included keeping the store minimally staffed, un-staged, not using displays, and limited signage.
