West Lothian to see huge new toy store launch near site of former Toys R Us

Smyths have announced they will be opening a huge new toy store in West Lothian later this year.

Just a few minutes walk away from the former Toys R Us site at Livingston, the retailer have confirmed their new premises will launch next to Decathlon at the busy outlet.

Adorning the site with their logo, the sparkling new store is set to open in October, and will be the first in West Lothian since the Toys R Us chain closed years ago.

However, the brand have confirmed the new Livingston shop will be fully stocked and ready to go well in time for Christmas, and are now searching for staff.
