Deb Shops begin going-out-of-business sales

Deb Shops begin going-out-of-business sales

Deb Shops, a Philadelphia-based retailer that sells clothing for teens and young women, began going-out-of-business sales at all of its 287 locations today.

The chain’s regional stores include locations at Monroeville Mall, Beaver County Mall, the Galleria at Pittsburgh Mils and Clearview Mall, although the company’s website has been converted to a statement just announcing the sales. 

Deb filed for bankruptcy last month, along with another teen clothing retailer Delia’s Inc., as the overstuffed niche of apparel retailers targeting young people continues to see a shakeout. Wet Seal, another teen clothing chain, closed hundreds of stores earlier this week, including several in the Pittsburgh region.

Liquidators Gordon Brothers Group and Hilco Merchant Resources said in an official announcement Thursday the Deb store closing sales would begin today. In addition to clothes, the store furniture, fixtures, and equipment will also be sold, the statement said.

Pittsburgh’s own teen clothing retailer, American Eagle Outfitters, on Thursday reported a 2 percent decline in holiday sales at stores open at least a year, but that was better than analysts expected. The South Side-based company raised its earnings projections for the fourth quarter.

American Eagle, like its rivals Abercrombie & Fitch and Aeropostale, has been in the process of closing underperforming stores as it sees more sales shift online.
