On the heels of its bankruptcy filing last year, Toys "R" Us says it will close more than 180 stores nationwide, according to court documents submitted this week by the retailer. The restructing includes the closure of the Babies "R" Us in New York City's Union Square, the Toys "R" Us in the company's hometown of Wayne, New Jersey, more locations in the NYC suburbs of Westchester and Long Island, and across the country, including Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Texas, and California.

The move still needs approval from a federal bankruptcy court, but, if granted, store closings would likely start in early February and run through mid-April, according to the filing. Many of the stores slated for closure are located in close proximity to other Toys "R" Us-branded stores, and the "overwhelming majority" have negative sales trends, it said.

"The reinvention of our brand requires that we make tough decisions about our priorities and focus," Dave Brandon, the chain's chairman and CEO, said in a memo to customers that was posted to the company website. "To that end, and following a top-to-bottom assessment of our business, we have decided to close a number of our U.S. stores. We also intend to convert a number of locations into co-branded Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores. The actions we are taking are necessary to allow us to emerge from bankruptcy proceedings as a more viable and competitive company."

Citing "operational missteps," Brandon vowed to "make the improvements necessary to ensure that we have the products you want, when, where, and how you want them." The retailer has faced increasing pressure from online competitors like Amazon, and reports suggest that a tenet of its reorganization will be a revamp of the online shopping experience.

In his statement, Brandon said that the company will continue to honor and sell gift cards, and that "our customer, registry, credit, warranty, and loyalty programs will continue as normal."

All told, 182 stores are slated for closure. The full list is below, however, the company said it will attempt to renegotiate leases in some cases, which could reduce the overall list once the plan is finalized.
