Toys “R” Us Canada’s owner is trying to keep the retailer operating, according to court documents filed by a lawyer representing a numbered company that holds the business. The filings indicate that Putman Investments hopes to extend its licence or rebrand the retailer once the current licence expires in January. The company is described as attempting to pursue an approach that could involve keeping the chain going by acquiring some of the retailer’s assets, or alternatively changing the brand if an extension is not possible. The retailer has been in creditor protection since February, and the documents are presented as part of the legal process surrounding its restructuring. The court filings also suggest that the owner is seeking options to preserve value and continuity for the business during the period leading up to the licence expiry. Details about the specific assets involved or the final outcome of the request are not stated in the excerpts provided. However, the documents characterize the licence extension or rebranding as potential paths under consideration to address the retailer’s ongoing financial and legal situation.
