CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Toys ‘R’ Us is returning to Clarksville, but with a different approach. The new Toys ‘R’ Us will be a store inside Governor’s Square Mall, opening just in time for Christmas 2026.

Operated by Go! Retail Group, the new shop is touted to offer a smaller, easy-to-shop Toys ‘R’ Us experience, with a curated assortment of popular toys and brands including Lego, Barbie, Hot Wheels, Nerf, PAW Patrol, and more, according to a news release.

Clarksville is one of 120 locations nationwide getting a Toys ‘R’ Us store as part of the expansion, according to Forbes Magazine. Toys ‘R’ Us operated a large standalone store in Clarksville at Governor’s Square next to Chuck E. Cheese until national bankruptcy in 2017.

The new store inside the mall will be open year-round and is tentatively scheduled to open in October. It will occupy approximately 7,200 square feet in the Belk concourse, across from Shoe Dept. Encore.

“We are thrilled to bring the excitement of Toys ‘R’ Us to more families this season, creating an easy and fun shopping destination,” Alex Winkelman, EVP Business Development of Go! Retail Group, said in the release. “From the hottest toys of the year to a convenient, family-friendly shopping experience, our Toys ‘R’ Us shops are designed to spread joy and make gift-giving simple.”
