Tampa And St Petersburg Toys R Us Stores Are Closing
LUTON, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 19: A range of childrens toys are displayed in a branch of the toy store Toys R Us on September 19, 2017 in Luton, England. The company has struggled to compete against online traders such as Amazon and has announced that it has filed for bankruptcy protection in the US and Canada. The company has stressed that these actions do not expect any immediate impact on their European branches due to the company running the operations independently. (Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images)
Toys R Us said store closing sales will begin in early February with a majority of the designated stores closing in mid-April with plenty of huge discounts during the sales.
Local stores on the list? Toys R Us stores in both St. Petersburg on Tyrone Blvd, and the W. Hillsborough Ave. store are both going to close.
The company said it will convert some stores to co-branded Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores.
