Toys R Us announces going-out-of business sales at several stores in SoCal, nationwide

FORT WAYNE, N.J. (KABC) -- Many Toys R Us stores in California are among those offering deep discounts as the toy and baby products retail chain prepares to shutter about 20 percent of its locations nationwide.

The move follows a slump in the New Jersey-based company's holiday sales and a bankruptcy filing.

Going-out-business sales are expected to last through April in at least 170 U.S. locations, several of which are in Southern California.

Meanwhile, Toys R Us officials say the privately held retailer is reinventing its brand and restructuring to ease its ballooning debt.

Below is a list of stores that are set to close in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties:

-Indio, 42500 Jackson St.
