Toys R Us To Close 180 Stores

Another major retail chain is closing stores to restructure after bankruptcy filing. Find out which Toys R Us locations will be going out of business.

Toys R Us is the most recent company to announce restructuring plans after emerging from bankruptcy court and this means 180 stores will close.

The company filed for bankruptcy just before the holiday season after seeing sales decline and debt pile up.

They now tell CNBC that

The actions we are taking are necessary to give us the best chance to emerge from our bankruptcy proceedings as a more viable and competitive company.

Those actions include closing 180 stores across the country starting in February and ending around mid-April.

The stores that do remain open will likely be rebranded as co-Babies R Us and Toys R Us stores. They'll also be working to improve the in-store shopping experience as well as online experience overall and will be revamping their loyalty program.

These closures will likely mean big savings on toys and games, so as they go out of business, parents can start to take advantage of sales!

While the Toys R Us/Babies R Us in Dartmouth and Swansea will remain open, these Massachusetts stores will be shutting their doors soon.
