Big Lots Opening at Former Bay Shore Toys R Us Location

BAY SHORE, NY - A new big-chain store will be taking over the old Toys R Us in Bay Shore.

A source confirmed to Patch that Big Lots will be coming on 1851 Sunrise Highway.

An opening date has not yet been announced.

In March, Toys R Us announced that was planing to sell or close its 880 U.S. retail stores. The toy store previously had 10 locations, including those under the Babies R Us brand, on Long Island.

The toy giant had filed for bankruptcy in September, a last ditch attempt to save the iconic toy chain. But after slow sales during last Christmas season, the company decided to shut down all stores.

The Bay Shore store, along with many other stores, officially closed its doors in the spring.
