Shoppers have mixed feelings about Toys "R" Us' move from southwest Dallas to Cedar Hill.
The store at Camp Wisdom and Westmoreland roads is leaving the area around Southwest Center Mall. It is scheduled to take its sales tax revenue five miles down Highway 67 to Cedar Hill.
Many shoppers snapping up bargains at the store's 60-percent-off closing sale said they are sad to see it go.
Juan Ramirez said he has visited the store since he was a child.
"It's been a long time this store has been here," he said. "But we've got to go to the new spot. The new store is going to be better."
Customers there said they prefer to shop in Cedar Hill.
"Everything is here," Dallas resident Barbara Dotsy said. "You don't have much to choose from near the Southwest Center Mall area."
Over the years, Dillard's and JCPenney left the mall for Cedar Hill, along with many other businesses in and around the mall.
Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings has made southern sector revitalization a priority for his administration.
He received a campaign endorsement from several top ministers and business leaders on April 15 at Southwest Center Mall, where he unveiled his southern sector plan.
