Billionaire toy tycoon Isaac Larian has made a last-minute effort to save Toys R Us from going out of business.
Larian, the CEO of the toy company MGA Entertainment, on Friday bid $890 million for more than 300 Toys R Us stores in the US and Canada.
"OK. I followed through on my part," Larian wrote on LinkedIn late Thursday. "Now it's up to them to accept. Time is of the essence."
In another post, Larian said he wanted to save 130,000 jobs and tagged President Trump's twitter handle, @realDonaldTrump.
"Not much time is left," Larian wrote.
If Larian's bid is accepted, the funds for the stores will come from his own money, as well as additional investors and bank financing.
