Ocean State Job Lot Taking Over Old Nanuet Toy R Us Location

NANUET, NY — Discount retailer Ocean State Job Lot is taking over the locations of a former Toys R Us store in Rockland County.

The company has plans to buy or lease seven old Toys R Us locations in the Northeast and New York.

"In an ever-changing retail environment where many retailers are struggling, Ocean State Job Lot has been able to adapt, enter new markets, re-open closed storefronts, and create new job opportunities," CEO Marc Perlman said. "We realize that people work hard for their money, and those retailers who are able to provide exceptional value will be rewarded by their customers."

The company already has a store in Rockland - in fact, in Clarkstown, in the Stop & Shop Center in New City. Its other four New York stores are in Fishkill and on Long Island.

Plans are to open in the first half of 2019, according to the Rockland Business Journal.
