PROFILE |

Not all has been well in KBkids.com's play world. A division of K-B Toys, it sells an assortment of toys, video games, software, collectibles, videos, and DVDs online. It also offers reviews and information about its merchandise, as well as articles from toy experts. KBkids.com was formed in July 1999 when Big Lots (formerly Consolidated Stores), a closeout retailer that also owned over 1,350 K-B Toys stores at the time, combined its online toy operations with those of BrainPlay.com. KBkids.com cut 30% of its staff in May 2000 as part of a streamlining effort to appease majority owner Big Lots; later that year the parent sold it along with K-B Toys to a group led by K-B Toys management and private equity firm Bain Capital.
