Steve & Barry's To File Chapter 11

I like the store...cool shirts, college clothes...all VERY CHEAP in price!

When I was at Purdue, there was a successful movement to rid the campus of them because of their sweatshop labor. Honestly, I wasn't a part of it and don't know if their labor practices were really that bad (or worse than anyone else's, for that matter), but I didn't go there much anyway. But I wonder if a lot of other schools did that and that's what ended up hurting them?

Many schools and places that wear uniforms has been doing this, going against companies that utilize sweatshop labour.
All they want is for them to be ethical when sourcing products.

This is not the only company involved in this kind of thing.

Isn't everything there like 9.99 or 14.99... how do people think they can get a jacket for the same price of a t-shirt?

Do most of my school clothes shopping there. Plan on doing it again this year, I hope.
