NEW YORK (AP) - Toys R Us has announced plans to build the world's largest toy store, a 101,000-square-foot (9,090-square-meter) emporium with a life-size dollhouse and a 60-foot (18-meter)-tall Ferris wheel in Times Square. The three-story glass-enclosed store, which would become the company's flagship, is scheduled to open next summer, said John Eyler, the company's chief executive officer. "We expect it to draw over 20 million visitors a year - that's two and a half times more people than visit the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island combined," Eyler said Tuesday. The store would join a host of family-oriented theme restaurants and corporate stores that have opened in Times Square in recent years. Its neighbors would include the WWF Store, the ESPNZone restaurant and the Disney Store. On the Net: Toys R Us: http://www.toysrus.com
