After a long pause, we are back for the first post of 2026. We added a new city in Louisiana to our adventures. We finally made it to Monroe in Northeast Louisiana to cover the last major mall in the State. We found this gem on the way to our destination of the Pecanland Mall. We will feature the neighboring Pecanland Mall in the next blog post. First we will feature this abandoned Toys R Us store.
This Toys R Us store is a rare relic of the original big box chain that no longer exists. The store at 1350 Pecanland Drive closed around June 30, 2018 along with the rest of the chain.
The signs are gone, the labelscars are very deep, and the building is missing a few tiles, but this is a very well preserved former Toys R Us.
Not much is left inside of the building, but it has not been stripped out as we have seen at several remaining empty Toys R Us locations.
The road leading to the front of the store is stunning. All of these bushes are manicured, creating a really cool entryway to the old stores.
When I noticed this sign off of I-20, a piece of me got excited like when I was young. As we were about to take the Pecanland Mall exit, this sign greets you just to the West of the mall.
One last look at the sign before we head to the neighboring Pecanland Mall.
Here is some teaser phots from the Pecanland Mall. It is a very unique mall and we are glad to finally feature it on the blog.
Stay tuned Pecanland Mall is next up.
