And on the Steve and Barrys topic, does anyone else think the stores are way too large for their inventory? In our area they've taken many closed discount store fronts(old Venture & Shopko mostly) mainly in malls. Unless they negotiated a major deal w/ the mall, the rent must be outrageous. [/quote]The nearest store to me is in Cedar Rapids. They leased a good majority of a former Montgomery Ward store; both levels. Everything is spread out and to have escalators running seems to be a waste.
This news doesn't disappoint me too much; I no longer frequent their stores due to a poor experience I had back in May. The customer service was beyond pitiful. Two emails sent to them went unreturned. I didn't bother calling.
