The troubled company announced this afternoon which branches are to be axed as part of a UK-wide reorganisation.

The move could mean as many as 800 jobs lost - around a quarter of their entire workforce – and all efforts will be made to redeploy team members where possible, says the firm.

Workers at the Kirkcaldy store, which is located at the town’s retail park, will be given the news about their future today.

A spokesman at Toys R Us refused to say how many staff in Kirkcaldy would be affected.

It will close in Spring, 2018.
