Toys ‘R’ Us Canada Closing More Stores, Will Ask Permission to Sell Business: Docs
Toys 'R' Us Canada plans to close more stores while seeking court approval for a sales process amid creditor protection, after closing 53 stores in the past two years.
- Toys 'R' Us Canada announced plans to close stores at the Laurent Centre in Ottawa and Woodgate Plaza in St. John's, Nfld., as it prepares to ask a court next week for permission to launch a sales process.
- These closures are part of a creditor protection process begun earlier this year, as the company struggles with mounting debt and legal challenges from suppliers and landlords.
- The chain is returning properties to landlords after already closing two locations, including stores at the Niagara Pen Centre in Ontario and in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Que.
- An affidavit from Neil Taylor argued that the sales process is "the best available option to maximize" remaining value for stakeholders, and operations will continue normally during the marketing period.
- Owned by Putman Investments since 2021, the retailer previously closed 53 stores across Canada in the two years before its creditor protection application.
