Capital Mall will lose a long-time tenant in the coming months, as national teen clothing retailer Deb Shops has announced it plans to close all stores after filing for bankruptcy in December.
The Jefferson City store currently employs about 10 people, and no closing date for the store has been set, according to a local store manager.
The Pittsburgh-based chain has about 300 stores nationwide.
Representatives from Deb Shops' corporate office did not respond to requests for further information.
