Toys R Us will close its doors on up to 182 stores across the nation as part of its bankruptcy reorganization plans.
The New Jersey-based retailer filed court papers Tuesday outlining its plans to close 20 percent of its stores in the coming months.
The company cites increased competition and a shift in customers moving away from traditional brick-and-mortar stores to shopping online for the decision to shutter the stores. Toys R Us ultimately filed for bankruptcy in September.
"The reinvention of our brands requires that we make tough decisions about our priorities and focus," Toys R Us Chief Executive Dave Brandon said.
Going-out-of-business sales are slated to begin in February with closures continuing through mid-April, Toys R Us Chief Executive Dave Brandon said in a letter posted on the company's website Tuesday night.
