Forever 21 saw its revenue decrease to $3.3 billion last year, which is down from the $4.4 billion in 2016, according to the New York Times. The company has also laid off more than 10,000 people since 2016.

The teenage clothing store made it clear, though, it wasn’t going out of business, and instead filed for bankruptcy protection as a “deliberate and decisive step to put us on a successful track for the future,” according to the letter.
