BBC Business NewsToys R Us has gone into administration, putting 3,000 UK jobs at risk.
Administrators have been appointed to begin "an orderly wind-down" of the UK's biggest toy retailer following the failure to find a buyer.
They said that all 105 Toys R Us stores - including in Exeter and Plymouth (pictured) - will remain open until further notice.
Joint administrator Simon Thomas said: "Whilst this process is likely to affect many Toys R Us staff, whether some or all of the stores will close remains to be decided."
Toys R Us has been facing a £15m tax bill. However, poor sales have made it unlikely that it can make the payment.
