A former Toys R Us store next to Hamilton Place mall will soon land an Electronic Express.

The retailer that sells TVs, computers and appliances has bought the 43,113-square-foot building and plans to rework part of it into a new location, said representatives for the company and mall owner CBL Properties.

Electronic Express, which currently doesn’t have an East Brainerd presence, is expected to put in about a 27,000-square-foot store, said Rocky LeBlanc of the firm Azimtech Engineering.

He said work is slated to start soon with an opening likely to take place early next year at the Hamilton Place Boulevard site.

Electronic Express bought the building for $4.7 million, according to the Hamilton County Assessor of Property. A permit from the city’s Land Development Office put the value of the work in the building at $225,000.
