Hyderabad, March 16 : Toys 'R' Us, a leading American toy and clothing retailer, shut its store at a shopping mall in Hyderabad within 24 hours of opening it due to some legal issues, sources said.

Toys 'R' Us opened a store in Sarath city Capital mall in Hyderabad on March 11 but closed it within 24 hours, two sources with knowledge of the matter said.

Emails sent to the company, as well as its Indian operator and the mall owners, remained answered.

Sources said a no-compete clause with another global toy retailer is said to be behind the mall pulling the plug on Toys 'R' Us.
