Steve & Barry are coming for a visit to Lancaster, PA

I saw a help wanted ad today that caught my attention and it appears that the small clothing chain: Steve & barry's is coming to Lancaster, PA in the near future. The store will be located out by the Rockdale Outlets @ 35 South Willowdale Drive near RT 30. Here is the Link for the Company and a bit of there history:http://www.steveandbarrys.com/ourstory.aspx

No grand opening date could be found.

Childhood friends Steve and Barry have been retail partners since they were teenagers living in suburban New York. The idea that developed into Steve & Barry’s® began when they started screen-printing T-shirts and selling them for $1 at flea markets across Long Island and New Jersey. In 1985, they opened a modest collegiate apparel store at the University of Pennsylvania. Steve & Barry’s quickly became a landmark destination, as students found they could purchase the same quality collegiate-licensed clothing sold at the campus bookstore for dramatically lower prices. The success of the store at the University of Pennsylvania fueled an expansion to other universities across the country. Steve & Barry’s mall superstore format began to take shape in the late 1990’s, upon the opening of its first mall-based location near Detroit, Michigan. In addition to providing a wide variety of collegiate-licensed items, Steve & Barry’s began to offer casual apparel for men, women, and kids. Steve & Barry’s continues to expand into more malls in communities around the country, as shoppers everywhere enjoy its groundbreaking values.

From their small roots they have grown quite corporate and that includes a team of lawyers that send letters to the fashion bloggers:http://fashiontribes.typepad.com/main/2007/03/steve_barrys_vs.html

S&B are also responsible for distributing the Marbury sneaker line from Basketball and Michael Vick supporting NBA player Stephon Marbury.

From S&B's web site: In 2006, Steve & Barry’s made retail history when the company teamed up with NBA® star Stephon Marbury to develop the Starbury™ Collection of urban-inspired apparel and footwear. Perhaps no item reflects the extraordinary value of the Starbury Collection more than the groundbreaking Starbury II, a high-performance basketball sneaker that Marbury wears on NBA® courts. The Starbury II boasts a sleek design and is engineered with the same comfort, stability, and durability found in basketball sneakers that retail between $100 and $150—and it’s just $14.98.

I have only visited a S&B store once @ Franklin Mills last year but I am looking forward to see what the store will be carrying when they arrive in Dutch Country.
