The future of the company is up in the air, somewhat, after it filed for bankruptcy protection in the US and Canada as it attempts to restructure its debts.
The aim is to give Toys ‘R’ Us money and time to prepare for the upcoming Christmas shopping season – but the move does not appear to have threatened any jobs on the firm’s stores outside of North America.
