After 80 years, Pennsylvania based female clothing store Deb Shops (aka DEB) went chapter 11 bankrupt busted in December, and is now going down!  All 287 stores across the United States will shutdown by April.

No word on how many people will become jobless, but most Deb Stores have about ten employees each so I figure that’s about 2,870 unemployed people by April!
