Hearings on the Toys R Us first day motions were held on September 19, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. in the courtroom of Judge Keith Phillips located in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, 701 E.

The first day motions of Toy R Us covered many issues, detailed below, but they did not address which of the Toy R Us locations would remain open. An integral part of any retail bankruptcy is the rejection of the leases of underperforming locations. At this point, it is unknown which locations will remain open and which will close.
Following the first day hearings, the Bankruptcy Court entered Orders to give Toy R Us the follow interim authorization:
To continue to operate their cash management system;
To pay prepetition wages, salaries, other compensation, and expenses to employees;
To pay prepetition claims of lien claimants, import claimants, and 503(b)(9) claimants;
To pay prepetition claims of foreign vendors; and
To pay certain prepetition claims of critical vendors.
