The Washington Post) - Big-box chain Toys R Us, which filed for bankruptcy late last year, is planning on closing or selling all 800 of its U.S. stores in the coming months. The company says it was burning through $50 million to $100 million in cash a month as it struggled to pay back billions in debt.
“The stark reality is that [Toys R Us is] projected to run out of cash in the U.S. in May 2018,” the company said in a court filing on Thursday.
Bankruptcy lawyers say the chain, which also includes Babies R Us stores, must move quickly. Here’s what’s likely to be in store.
Whenwill the discounts begin?
Very soon, likely in the next week or two, bankruptcy lawyers say. Toys R Us, which is awaiting court approval for its liquidation request, has already assembled a collection of liquidation firms to take over its stores and sell off inventory as quickly as possible. Discounts will likely begin on the low end – 25 percent off, say – and increase in coming weeks. But there’s a catch: All sales are typically final once liquidation discounts begin.
“They’re working on a very tight timetable,” said Eric Snyder, chairman of the bankruptcy department Wilk Auslander, a New York law firm. “And their timing could not be worse: March and April are not great times to be selling toys, so they are under pressure to make this work.”
But not all stores may have going-out-of-business sales right away. Toys R Us has said it plans to liquidate 590 stores, but has identified 200 of its best-performing stores that it is trying to sell off with its Canadian operations. Those stores may not be liquidated right away, as a result, Snyder said.
What happens to my gift cards?
Toys R Us says it will honor existing gift cards, as well as its Rewards dollars and Endless Earnings, for another 30 days. After that, you basically risk forfeiting any remaining value.
“Gift cards are always a hot-button issue,” said Josh Friedman, a legal analyst at Debtwire. “Generally speaking, I would just try to use them as quickly as possible. Gift cards aren’t going to last forever, and neither is Toys R Us.”
Bankrupt retailers are not legally required to honor gift cards, although Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores have continued to accept them following their September bankruptcy filing.
It was not immediately clear what would happen to customers’ layaway plans or baby registries.
When will stores actually begin to close?
Toys R Us has said it will pay employees for another 60 days, which it is required to do by law. But bankruptcy lawyers say some stores could shut down even sooner than that, as the company winds down its operations. The closures, bankruptcy experts say, are likely to create mounting headaches for landlords and shopping malls, which are already struggling with high vacancy rates.
“You’re looking at hundreds of landlords that will now have big empty spaces,” Snyder said. “That will have an enormous impact on shopping malls and stand-alone centers.”

After fighting an unwinnable battle against the changing times and online retailers, Toys “R” Us is finally closing up shop in the US. Though the company at first planned on trying to keep some 700 stores across the globe open after filing for bankruptcy last year, the retail giant pivoted suddenly last week when it filed for liquidation last week.

According to USA Today, all remaining Toys “R” Us locations in the US will start clearing their inventory with massive price cuts on basically everything in the store, with most locations beginning their sales tomorrow, March 22, and running through June. It’s an excellent opportunity for anyone to pick up whatever toys or games they might have been holding off on, but the sale also marks the end of an era for many people who grew up with Toys “R” Us being the destination for any and all things collectible.
