Get ready to say goodbye to your childhood. Toys 'R' Us has started its liquidation sales and that means all of its stores will start to close, one-by-one.
You hear that? That's the sound of millennials crying out in anguish as a piece of their childhood is being ripped away before their very eyes. Guys, the day we've all been dreading has finally come: Toys 'R' Us is closing all 700-plus of its U.S. stores. I know, I know. I'm crying too. But, before the toy giant says goodbye for good, it's got to get rid of everything in its stores. The liquidation sales started on March 23 and are set to end sometime in June, but the stores could close earlier than that if the merchandise sells out before then. So, you know, take advantage while you can!
And because we're compassionate and considerate people, we want you to get the most out of this liquidation. Which is why we've collected the answers to the most frequently asked questions about the sales, including how to use those spare coupons you've been saving, how long your Toys 'R' Us gift cards are still viable, and many more.
Really, no need to thank us. But it wouldn't hurt. (Just sayin'.)
Check it out below, and good luck!
