Never heard of this store in my life …

Must not get to the malls too often...

 

I wondered myself how a store that frequently occupies the biggest space in the mall can make it selling $5.00 shirts.

For those of us who are not all that fashion conscience and actually buy work jeans to work in, this was a great store. I hope it survives. $10.00 jeans or shorts are a real deal.

Isn't this the store that sells "Starbury" basketball shoes for like $14.99?

Yes.

 

This is too bad. My mom went to high school with Steve. This place had excellent prices.

Try $7.99, and I did buy a buy. Acutually a lot of guys that I hang around with when out and bought a pair and wound up coming back with his shorts and everything. Good store and its unfortunate. But I never quite understood how they could sell everything for so cheap and stay in business.

Not if I can help it.

They were on 20/20 or some National News Show about 3 months ago as a headline. The reporters were shocked to see what these two men were doing to slash prices, their offices were filled with old furniture and their employees had only one phone line I believe. They stated that every little thing spent was a reason to drive prices up, therefore, they didn't spend on themselves or their store for profitable gain. I gained a lot of respect for those two after the interview. I had only been in one of these stores, it was in Florida. Very nice and it was packed. I couldn't believe the prices myself. This was about 3 years ago.

I hope they can stay in business and get things worked out.

I bought a pair of Starburys for $7.98, and they were just as good as any other hoop shoe I've worn. The Florence store has always been busy on the days that I've shopped.

I retract my earlier statement. I heard the store mentioned in a TV feature about the Starbury shoes.

That's what I was thinking. I went to the one in Ashland several times, really nice store.

Can't blame you there. But when you have a 17 year-old daughter; it's pretty much impossible to stay away...

I bought some starbury's to play ball in. Nice shoes for only 15 bucks. Hope they can stay around.
