Shoppers praise Steve & Barry's stores

The Jaime family trucked out of Steve & Barry's Saturday toting three large, bulging bags with seven pairs of pants and 10 shirts. The cost: $250.

'Sure beats the $345 we spent on a couple shirts and some shorts at Macy's,' said Carlos Jaime, 42, of Jamaica, who was shopping at the Broadway Mall in Hicksville with his wife, Ines, 44, and son, Christopher, 16. 'This is the first time I've been here, and I'll definitely be back if this store is still around.'

According to a Wall Street Journal report, Steve & Barry's plans to close 100 of its more than 270 outlets nationwide and will consider liquidation if it can't find emergency funding. Rachel Brenner, a Steve & Barry's spokeswoman, said Thursday the company would have no comment on the report.
