Toys R Us is moving to close or sell all 735 of its US stores after filing a motion to liquidate last week.

Back in late January, the company announced plans to close just 170 Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores.

We recently visited one of the Babies R Us stores that was winding down its operations as part of the January announcement. It was a disaster.

Toys R Us will be closing or selling all 735 of its US stores after filing a motion to liquidate its US business last week. The toy retailer had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September.

Toys R Us had already said in January that 170 of its Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores would close, and many of those locations have started going-out-of-business sales. The company's liquidation filing last week will trigger clearance sales that could begin as soon as Thursday at the locations that had not already planned to close.

Babies R Us stores will be closing as a result of the liquidation as well, though its website will remain running for the time being.

We visited a Babies R Us store that has been preparing to close since January to see what it looked like and to see what may lie ahead for other Babies R Us and Toys R Us stores once clearance sales begin at a wider scale.

This is what we found:
