toy r us is closing?

[4formickey]

The Toys R Us in the chicago area is closing its doors. They are losing money to walmart and target so they are getting out of the toy business. I guess Big Lots and Value City will have the really good stuff on sale soon.

They're closing three on Long Island as well. The one I often go to is closing - they had 10-30% off signs all over the road yesterday.

Some of the ones in Mass are closing too. If they close then I wonder where people will buy toys? Club stores have a limited variety and then that only leaves Target. Of course we could travel to Wal Mart.

One in Syracuse NY is closing too and one in suburbs is staying open.

Yikes! I guess I better spend the gift card I have just in case our local TRU decides to close it's doors too. Kinda sad..I'll miss them if they do.

One near us is also closing (It is the South Hills Village location if any one else from the Pittsburgh area is interested)

Thanks. I hadn't heard that, although I live north, so it doesn't affect me, but does make me wonder if more will be closing eventually.

Anyone know where I can get my hands on a list of the stores closing?

 

[pjtm]

how will the markdowns work? My store said 10% now - wonder if it will continue to go down in increments? Anyone have any inside scoop?

 

[momxx5]

I was wondering the same thing....is there a list of store closings?


How sad for people who don't know or find out it time and have gift cards to spend.

I hope they get word.


(We got burned years ago when DH bought me an on-line Flooz gift card for $100)

The one closest to me is closing. We were told any stores that have a lease are liquidating now but the stand alone stores where TRU owns the building will remain. (Can;'t swear to this, just what I was told.) I didn't think the mardowns were great especially considering they would not honor any TRU coupons.

suzannef: which Syracuse area stores are closing - I had not heard this yet!!?

 

[disneychrista]

You can use the Toys R Us giftcards online too.

I hope the one in Pennsauken NJ closes. Its in a stinky neighborhood and the new Walmart just opened up. There is really nothing else in the plaza.

Does anyone have a list? Just curious.

 

[momofmikey]

On Long Island, the three closing are Commack, Levittown and Freeport.

Ours is closing also (TX). I thought that it was just here. Rumors have had ours closing for years now.
