Toys R Us Brunei has relaunched its Mabohai Shopping Complex store. The reopening, after extensive redesign and renovation works, attracted long queues of shoppers hoping to pick up special deals promoting the event. Along with the reopening, the store has expanded its product range by 70 per cent.

Toys R Us (Singapore) group country director Raymond Burt reassured customers the brand is “here to stay”.

“We have been in Brunei for around six years and we have re-signed our lease here at Mabohai Shopping Complex. We have also reinvested in the store and spent quite a bit of money to bring the latest design of the market to the store. We have renovated the store with a layout that is segmented by age for children, to make it easier for customers to shop.
