As Toys “R” Us stores across the country prepare to close for good Friday night, an employee at the Raleigh location told WNCN CBS 17 it would not be open on the final day of business.
The staff member said that’s because an anonymous person purchased $1 million worth of the remaining toys at the Triangle Town Center location to donate to local children.
The staff will spend the last day boxing up the few toys left to put on a truck.
The retailer is going out of business across the nation — all 700 stores.
The stores started liquidation back in March. The 70-year-old company filed for bankruptcy back in late 2017, and since then the company was not able to turn itself around financially.
