Everything Must Go: Exton Babies R Us Liquidation Sale On Now

EXTON, PA – Everything must go! The Babies R Us location in Exton is having a closing sale to get rid of all their merchandise.

The liquidation sale that began Wednesday, Feb. 7 includes 30 to 10 percent off all merchandise including furniture and fixtures, according to store employees.

Toys R Us announced the closing of the Babies R Us location at 104 Bartlett Ave. in Exton on Jan. 24 as part of a massive nationwide closing of 182 stores, eight of which were in Pennsylvania.

It's not clear when exactly the Exton location will close, but the stores are set to begin closing this month with closures running through April.

The Toys R Us location in the Fairfield Place Shopping Center at 103 East Swedesford Road in Exton is not among the listed closing stores.

The Exton Babies R Us is among seven other Pennsylvania Toys R Us and Babies R Us locations that will also begin closing soon. One location in Horsham, however, was spared after its closure was initially announced.

Toys R Us chairman and CEO David Brandon said an undisclosed number of surviving locations will be co-branded as Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores.

Toys R Us filed for bankruptcy in September.

The store closures come about a month after the toy giant announced it would close more than 100 stores due to declining sales and increased competition from Amazon, Walmart and Target.

"The reinvention of our brands requires that we make tough decisions about our priorities and focus," Brandon said in a release. "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."

A federal bankruptcy judge ruled late last year that Toys R Us may pay 17 executives about $14 million in incentive bonuses if it hits a certain earnings amount. Attorneys representing the company argued that the bonuses would help executives focus on increasing sales during the past holiday season.
