Toys R Us is the latest retailer falling victim to online shopping.

The company filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Monday and made the announcement on their website. They stated that with this filing the company will be able to restructure after paying off their $5 billion debt.

They also made sure to stress that their 1,600 Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores, around the world, will not be affected and none will close.
