FAO Schwarz Changes Hands

141222

FAO Schwarz has a new owner. The investment firm that controls the legendary chain of toy stores, David Shaw's D.E. Shaw, has sold it to (Wayne, N.J.-based!) Toys 'R' Us. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but we'll go ahead and assume it couldn't possibly have been more than the most expensive stuffed animal on sale at the store. [Crain's]
