If you think you can get another job and don't have a financial liability (i.e. no cash and kids to feed) I might consider the severance.
If you have a family and this job provides health insurance that's another thing to consider as well.
My biggest concern would be if you take the safe route (i.e. stay) and they opt to push you out out at a later date anyway with less attractive terms. If the place looks to be going under they might fold with no severance, or get bought and the store closed.
Rule of thumb is that the first offer will be the best...
Some things to think about.
