Toys 'R' Us has filed for approval by the bankruptcy court to close 182 U.S. stores, which it referred to as the "Initial Closing Stores."  The list was prepared after a study was conducted; an overwhelming majority have "negative sales trends," the filing said.  The company is engaging in lease negotiations with its landlords, and may close more or less stores based on the results.

The store closings will reduce the Toys 'R' Us retail space by 6.9 million square feet.  All Toys 'R' Us Canada stores will remain open, the company said.

Toys 'R' Us asked for permission to engage liquidators to sell out the stores down to the walls, including fixtures, and to leave behind what it can’t sell.

The store closings are in the range of predictions by analysts (see "Estimates Vary on Toys 'R' Us Store Closures").  Toys 'R' Us filed for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy last fall after suppliers started to cut shipments in the run-up to the crucial holiday season.

Here's the complete list of stores that are closing:
