Toys R Us likely to close Belfast and Derry stores

Stores in the North are likely to be casualties of Toys R Us plans to close 26 stores in Britain and the North as part of its bankruptcy restructuring in the US.

The firm said its stores in Belfast and Derry will “likely” close in the spring of 2018 but that it intended to keep open its stores in Sprucefield in Co Down and Belfast Castle Court.
