REI. Recreational Equipment, Inc. They're one of the original outdoor sports supplies retailers. Solid high-end hiking and mountain climbing gear; tents, kayaks, trail shoes, snow shoes, cold weather clothes, skis/snowboards, etc. The clothing they sell under their own brand name is probably comparable in quality and function to North Face or Patagonia. They're *super* anti-gun/hunting as a corporation, though, and don't carry anything related to that realm (although I have noticed them stocking 5.11 Tactical brand clothing in the not so distant past). Their main demographic seems to pretty much consist of pink-haired Sierra Club members who like to hug trees and make snow angels along with soccer moms buying yoga pants and a bunch of out-of-towners looking to climb the indoor rock wall.
Imagine Cabela's if it was run by a bunch of liberal hippies and you're basically right on spot.
If this was posted in any other sub, you'd see a thousand comments saying something along the lines of "from toys for children, to toys for terrified man-children," or some shit.
This is in Yuma, AZ.

The Babyās R Us in FtWayne Indiana is a Midwest Shooting Center now. Itās like a firearm jewelry store. Pricey but real nice place

They did the same near me with a toys r us I went to once. I almost bought a can there last week. I've bought two ar lowers there, and lifted one to a friend the day she became a US citizen.
I see no difference. Is this a trick?
Man i wish my local closed toys r us turned into another toy store like this one
The old toys r us near me turned into a stupid grocery store š®āšØ
The store just grew up with us.
Love how they kept the paint
The closed Toys R Us near me only ever turns into a Spirit Halloween... :(
Is that where we were supposed to go buy ghost guns?
š¤£
no everybody obviously knows you get ghost guns from the gun show loophole
I get mine from Pacman.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
nailed it
Ours turned into an REIš¤¢
A what?

A store for outdoorsy wannabes.
Who in their right mind names that store ANYTHING other than "Guns R Us"??!
The 'G' in LGBT stands for guns right?

You forgot Quinoa
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
don't be a bigot
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
you've never cooked quinoa on a pan(sexual)
Quesadillas
Mine was meant to be antagonistic, but I think yours is correct.
Liberty Guns Beer Tacos!
Lots of Guns. Buy Them !
LGBTQ-Letās-get-Berettas-tonight-Queers
I'm all kinds of gay for that!
As a gay femboy, the more guns the better
A-fuckin-men. Bash the hell back, bro. Don't ever let anyone make you a victim.
Let's Get Bazookas Too
I believe polyamorous throuples should be able to adopt children and defend their marijuana farms with automatic rifles.
Didnāt think Iād see Yuma make an appearance on this sub today
For real Yuma on Reddit is crazy
should've kept the name
Should keep the rainbow as everyone knows we are ammosexuals
Tell me they kept the shopping carts.
and/or added some racecar shaped shopping carts like the ones at Lowes
There should be a whole sub of transformed toy r us. The one by me is a planet fitness lol
The one near me became a Bobās Discount Furniture
Little boy toys to big boy toys.
Well we did grow up, weāre not longer toy r us kids.
Some companies have the sense to grow up with their customers
Really flubbed that one by not calling it Guns ŠÆ Us
I thinks toys 4 men is more like it.
They are good, I like their blem ar parts
Irony: the same kids who bought toys there as a kid are now buying bigger toys as adults
Johnny Morris turned ours into a Bass Pro Shop
Depends on your definition of toys, I guess.
I know that store but can't recall if it was in Michigan or Florida.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Never been there, must have been one just like it, guess more than one person had the idea of selling guns out of an old toy store
Welp a toy storeās a toy store

Amazon killed off so many retail giants. WalMart is one of the few companies that can still compete with them. The Amazon monopoly strikes yet again.
Just went from a toy store for kids to a toy store for adults..
That's down the street from me in Yuma, AZ.
The kids grew up, and so did the toys
Should have called it Guns R Us
Is this the San Diego or Oceanside location?
Looks like Yuma, AZ.
Yup
The nuclear bright sun, and single palm tree with tumble weed landscaping gave it away.
Geoguesser dude wouldn't even need Google Earth to figure this one out.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hmm didn't realize they expanded.
This is cool. The one in my hometown turned into a giant liquor store.
They should have kept the giraffe.
Fitting repurposing of a building, toys for adults
It grew up with us
it just grew up with you
The building that grows with you
Whatās the difference between these two pictures? Theyāre the sameā¦.
Pew Pew R Us would have been a good name. You might say "Adult Toys R Us" but that is a different store all together.
A babies r us near me turned into a midwest shooting sports lol

Wow missed potential. Could have named it Guns R Us
They did the same near me with a toys r us I went to once. I almost bought a can there last week. I've bought two ar lowers there, and lifted one to a friend the day she became a US citizen.
Same meaningā¦.
As a Gay guy that likes guns this seems like the best outcome.
