KB Toys which just emerged from bankrupty has decided to close another 156 stores (up from an original 30). The original Washington Post story only covers the store closings in the DC/VA area and other reports on which other stores around the country are trickling in.

The managers and ex-managers tell sad & mad stories on PLAYTHINGS, an industry trade publication and website.
