Toys R Us, Babies R Us liquidation starts at 7 Georgia stores

Toys R Us announced last month that it would be closing many of its stores across the country.

In an updated list the company put out Wednesday, 144 of its Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores will close, including seven in Georgia.

The company also announced that nationwide liquidation sales begin Wednesday. These are sales just at the stores that are closing and will not be matched by other Toys R Us stores. In Georgia, that includes stores in Alpharetta, Albany, Stonecrest, Douglasville, Dunwoody, Fayetteville and Newnan.

Stores in Albany, Newnan and Fayetteville are Toys R Us. Stores in Alpharetta, Dunwoody, Lithonia and Douglasville are Babies R Us.
