Looking for some historic info about Valley Stream businesses... (Verona: home, place)

[Hewey]

Does anyone happen to know when Valley Stream Toys R Us first opened? Also looking for info on Hermans World of Sporting Goods which was next door for a long time, specifically when it opened and when it closed/was torn down. Thanks for any help you can provide.
