Toys R US shut down its website.

• Toys R Us shut down its namesake website and Babies R Us' website on Friday.
• The company is holding liquidation sales at its US stores.
• Customers with outstanding gift cards will now have to visit stores to use the value on their cards.

Toys R Us shut down its websites on Friday, just two weeks after announcing that it would be liquidating its US business.

The company posted a message on its Toys R Us and Babies R Us websites Friday saying, in part, "We have shut down the website for any purchases but our brick and mortar stores are open and holding going out of business sales."

The message directed customers to stay up to date with the sales at a goodbyetoysrus.com.

"We encourage you to stop by your local store and take full advantage of hte deep discounts and deals available," the message continued. "Thank you for your business and support over the years."

Customers with outstanding gift cards at Toys R Us will now have to visit stores to use the value on their cards, which will expire in two weeks.
