Swindonians with vouchers for the Stratton Toys R Us are being urged to spend them store immediately as the US firm teeters on the brink of administration.
The future of the toy store in the UK and 3,200 jobs is up in the air after the pension lifeboat said it will not back the retailer’s rescue plans unless it agrees to pay £9 million into its pension fund.
Toys R Us have already announced store closures throughout the UK but it was understood the Swindon store was safe.
There are now fears the chain could go under before Christmas – meaning you need to get spending your gift cards NOW.
We hope the toy chain remains open but would like to advise our readers that when a firm goes bust, vouchers and gift cards are virtually useless – the advice is to spend them or get a refund now! Remember how many people were left out of pocket after the collapse of BHS.
