All the Toys R Us stores in Australia are closing in the next few weeks
If you see a huge giraffe wandering the streets glassy-eyed and trying to sell you a copy of The Big Issue, it’s because 44 Toys R Us stores (read: all of them) across Australia will be closing down over the next few weeks.
700 people will be put out of work; administrators McGrathNicol said that “all potential buyers had pulled out and the business will be wound down.”
The online ordering system will be shut down this Friday, and lay-bys and existing gift cards will be honoured until July 5.
