[Toys R Us said it aimed to begin
closing UK stores from the spring 2018]

[Toys R Us has announced plans
to shut at least 26 stores in the UK,
placing around 800 jobs - a quarter
of its workforce - at risk in the weeks
before Christmas.
The company, which has been loss-making
for several years amid a string of
pressures from expensive,
largely out-of-town shop premises
to strong competition, said there
would be no changes over the
crucial festive season.]
