Toys R Us will begin going-out-of-business sales in February at a store in Bricktown slated to close in April.

The closure includes the store located at 6420 W. Fullerton.

In all, the company, which filed for bankruptcy in September, will close 20 percent of its stores, which amounts to 182 locations across the country.

"The reinvention of our brands requires that we make tough decisions about our priorities and focus," Toys R Us CEO David Brandon said in a memo to customers in January. "The actions we are taking are necessary to give us the best chance to emerge from our bankruptcy proceedings as a more viable and competitive company."
