Everything Must Go: CT Toys R Us, Babies R Us Closing Sale On Now

A federal bankruptcy judge approved a going-out-of-business plan for Toys R Us, and liquidation sales are beginning Wednesday at more than 150 stores, including two in Connecticut. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Keith Phillips in Richmond, Virginia, approved the plan on Tuesday, which includes closing Babies R Us stores.

Liquidation sales will run through April 15 under the plan. Here are the stores near you where savvy shoppers can get great deals on top brand names in all product categories. The two Connecticut stores holding liquidation sales are the Newington and North Haven Toys R Us locations.

Stores are offering discounts of up to 30 percent off. Store furniture and fixtures are also available to purchase. Closing stores will continue to honor customer programs, including gift cards, Endless Earnings and credit card specials, the company confirmed.

Last month, Toys R Us, based in Wayne, New Jersey, filed a motion to close up to 182 of its 880 stores in America — about 20 percent. The retailer has since removed at least a dozen stores from the list. The other Toys R Us locations in Connecticut, Manchester, Milford, Danbury, Norwalk, Waterford, Waterbury, and West Hartford locations are remaining open. The Babies R Us store in Manchester, located at 169 Hale Road, is also remaining open. You can read the latest updates on the Manchester and Waterbury stores here.

David Brandon, chairman and CEO of the toy retailer, previously said the brand was reinventing itself and that required some "tough decisions about our priorities and focus."

"The reinvention of our brands requires that we make tough decisions about our priorities and focus," Brandon said in a letter posted on the company's website.

Stores in the United States will be combined into Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores. Toys R Us filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last year amid declining sales and climbing debt.
