Toys “R’’ Us Inc. will open several temporary Holiday Express stores in Greater Boston.
The New Jersey-based chain said it will open express stores at the Natick Collection mall, Square One Mall in Saugus, and Marshall’s Plaza in Newton from roughly now until mid-January.
Plans also call for the chain to open Holiday Express stores within many of the company’s Babies “R’’ Us stores. In Massachusetts, Holiday Express stores are planned for Babies “R’’ Us stores in Braintree, Peabody, Everett, and Framingham, among other locations.
In the United States, the company operates 586 year-round Toys “R’’ Us stores and 262 Babies “R’’ Us stores. By opening nearly 350 Holiday Express stores, the company said it can temporarily expand its existing toy-selling space by nearly 1 million square feet during the holiday selling season.
