http://www.statenews.com Lansing-area Steve & Barry’s outlets face a questionable future as the nationwide chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Wednesday. en-us Gryphon 2.2.3b-tsn (woodward)/Foundry5 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 12:56:06 -0400 webmaster@statenews.com http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/19092 Close the two stores in the malls and keep the one on Grand River. They should also get rid of the “celeb” lines and just focus on the college teams. I am not all that impressed with the added lines.

When a retailer that is affordable even to those in the same income bracket as Wille TheCanMan, goes bankrupt…starting counting your pennies folks!

I think it’s cause of laurel karsa and matt sutherland. These 2 definantly due not know how to run anything, except in circles Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:37:28 -0400 http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/19314 http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/19680 I think the company should focus more on the celebrity lines and local advertising and less cost effective ways transporting inventory on the east and west coast, also discontinue the 2 week manager training in N.Y. nothing beats hands on. Thats just a few things off the top of my head. Tue, 22 Jul 2008 12:56:06 -0400 http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/19680
