UPDATE: It’s looking more like October 25th from the grand opening date. Follow www.premiumoutlets.com/outlet/camarillo/stores/toys-r-us for updates.
A 14,000 sq ft Toys "R" Us store is anticipated to open at the Camarillo Premium Outlets on October 18th, just in time for your holiday shopping. It will be located in The Promenade section of the Outlets, between Panera Bread and the Vans Outlet.
Toys "R" Us filed for bankruptcy in 2017, when it closed its brick and mortar stores. The brand is now owned by WHP Global, which acquired it in 2021 and is partnering with Go! Retail Group to open 10 new flagship stores and 20 seasonal holiday shops in the U.S. by year's end. The Camarillo location is one of those "flagship" stores.

Shibuya Sushi Calabasas has had plans to open a 2nd location in Calabasas for well over a year. The new location is on Las Virgenes Road, north of the 101, near the new Honey Cup Coffeehouse and Inner Power Yoga. The signs are up - one says Shibuya To-Go and the other Shibuya Annex - but timing is still TBA. The original Shibuya at 4774 Park Granada in Calabasas (near The Commons) is extremely popular and quite small, so this 2nd location is highly anticipated. www.instagram.com/shibuya_calabasas
