Following the closure of Toys “R” Us in the U.S., Toys “R” Us Australia has gone into voluntary administration, according to a report from news.com.au.
All Toys “R” Us Australia stores will remain open while the administrators explore future options for the sale. The stand-alone Australian business operates 44 retail stores across the nation and employs about 700 permanent staff members.
