Store showdown between Wal-Mart and Toys R Us
North Brunswick report on the holiday price war between Wal-Mart and Toys R Us as both chains cut prices and expand exclusives to win market share. Wal-Mart led with deep discounts on popular toys including Mattel’s Hot Wheels T-Wrecks, while Toys R Us countered with coupon books and broader selections to lure shoppers. Analysts say the fight boosts consumer options but squeezes margins as inventories tighten ahead of December peak demand.
