Louis Mittoni, Toys R Us boss previously told The Sun: "This space allows our shoppers to get hands-on with toy products, being able to play and interact with the products before purchasing them from an equally large warehouse at the back of these stores."
He added: "There will be nothing like these stores anywhere in the world".
The new stores could stock up to 40,000 products, which can be delivered to store customers in seconds.
There are plans for larger stores as well as smaller branches, but a list of areas hasn't been announced yet.
Stores had stayed open in Canada and Australia and have been doing well. This has encouraged bosses that there is still hope for physical stores here in the UK.
Chairman and CEO of WHP Global and Toys R Us, Yehuda Shmidman, said in a statement last year: "We selected Toys R Us ANZ as our partner to expand into the United Kingdom because of their proven success in launching with us in Australia under the leadership of their CEO, Dr Louis Mittoni.

"Toys R Us today is a vibrant business with over 900 stores and e-commerce sites across 25 plus countries generating over $2billion a year in sales and growing, especially with the new launches underway for both the US and UK markets."
Head of Toys R Us ANZ, Louis Mittoni, added: "Since Toys R Us’ return to Australia in June 2019, we have scaled quickly as customers returned to the much-loved brand and our e-commerce model has proven its success.
"My team and I are looking forward to developing technical and commercial relationships with UK-based vendors and partners and to engage with the many loyal Toys R Us former customers and fans in the UK."
Toys R Us just saved Christmas!
