Struggling retailer Toys ‘R’ Us to shutter Transcona store

Aaron Epp 3 minute read Monday, Jul. 6, 2026

Playtime is almost over at the Toys “R” Us store in Winnipeg’s Transcona neighbourhood.

Signs hanging in the front windows indicate the longtime big-box chain outlet is closing. “All stock reduced” and “Everything must go” at the store, which has stood at 1560 Regent Ave. W. for more than 36 years. Even the fixtures are for sale.

An employee at the store declined to comment on Monday, directing the Free Press to Toys “R” Us Canada Ltd.’s head office. The company did not respond to interview requests.

Signage at the store does not specify when it will close for good.

Bombers look to build on strong defence against high-powered Argos

Taylor Allen 6 minute read 8:11 PM CDT

Mike O’Shea is more likely to cough up his credit card information than share anything about an injured player.

That especially rings true when it comes to the quarterback position — and Zach Collaros.

The starting pivot for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (2-2) left Sunday’s 14-13 win in Hamilton on the first play of the second quarter after being strip-sacked from the blind side.

Collaros is on the injury report with a neck issue and is listed as questionable for Friday’s date with the visiting Toronto Argonauts (2-2).

Fire closes Walmart at St. Vital Centre

1 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 1:43 PM CDT

A Walmart at St. Vital Centre was evacuated Monday night after a fire inside the store.

"We are thankful that all Walmart staff and visitors were evacuated safely, everyone was accounted for, and no one was injured," the shopping centre said in a social media post. "St. Vital Centre continues to work closely with Walmart, the Winnipeg Police Service, and the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service to assist in any way we can."

St. Vital Centre staff said Tuesday morning the Walmart store has not re-opened, and it did not know when it would.

The WFPS said in a news release emergency crews were called to a commercial building in the 1200 block of St. Mary's Road just after 7 p.m. Monday. Firefighters quickly put out the fire after the building's sprinkler system mostly extinguished the blaze before crews arrived.
