Toys R Us filed for bankruptcy in September and is now planning to close 20% of its locations across the US.
"The reinvention of our brands requires that we make tough decisions about our priorities and focus," Toys R Us CEO David Brandon wrote in a memo to customers on Tuesday. "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."
