BOSTON, Jan. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Block & Leviton LLP (www.blockesq.com), a Boston-based law firm representing investors nationwide, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duties by the Board of Directors of The Pep Boys – Manny, Moe & Jack ("Pep Boys" or the "Company") (Ticker: PBY) with regards to the proposed acquisition of the Company by an investor group called The Gore Group. The transaction is for $15.00 per share, or a paltry 24% premium over the Company's latest closing price.
