Babies”R”Us will remain closed all day on Thanksgiving, but will open at 8 a.m. on Black Friday with doorbuster savings. In 2016, the National Retail Federation found that nearly 100 million people shopped brick and mortar stores during Thanksgiving weekend.

The retailer voluntarily filed for relief under Chapter 11, company officials announced in late September. Toys “R” Us has approximately 1,600 stores, including Babies “R” Us stores around the world, and they are continuing to operate as usual. The company did not announce any immediate store closures.
