The McCarran distribution center will support the growing Toys"R"Us® e-commerce business, which is fueled by the company's omnichannel strategy, allowing customers to shop seamlessly in stores, online and engage with Toys"R"Us and Babies"R"Us® from anywhere, including through mobile devices. The McCarran facility began operating in July as the newest of 12 company sites dedicated to store distribution and e-commerce fulfillment and currently employs more than 60 full- and part-time associates, with the plan to build that staff to more than 120 full- and part-time employees annually.
