TOYS R Us in Poole will close in less than a fortnight, the retailer's administrators have confirmed.
The toy chain collapsed in February and insolvency specialist Moorfields has been selling off the retailer's stock at knockdown prices.
Its Nuffield Industrial Estate store will close on Monday, April 23.
Toys R Us's 75 stores will all shut by April 24, with 2,054 employees set to be made redundant.
Simon Thomas, joint administrator at Moorfields, said: "We are grateful for the hard work of everybody at Toys R Us during this extremely difficult and challenging time.
"We are working closely with the 2,000 employees affected by the closures to ensure they receive the support they need for redundancy and other compensatory payments."
Toys R Us appointed Moorfields to handle the administration when the company was unable to pay a £15m tax bill.
After failing to find a buyer for the business, Moorfields said in March that it would be necessary to close all of Toys R Us's 106 stores, and immediately made 67 staff at the chain's Maidenhead head office redundant.
Mr Thomas added: "The stores across the county will be open as usual until the last day of trading and we would encourage shoppers to make the most of the great deals on offer.
"Extended discounts of up to 70% are in place from today and offers are available on some of our best-known brands."
