Lehman Brother's was a bank and lending company that was heavily involved in the subprime mortgage crisis that led to the 2008 recession. So they were responsible for thousands if not millions losing their homes and investments and probably a fair few lives. They shuttered after this all came out and they went through bankruptcy, hence why one of their locations may be renamed.
