From Yahoo! Finance: "Steve & Barry's LLC, once a growing force in low-priced fashion retailing, said Wednesday that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the latest merchant to succumb to a harsh consumer spending climate."

"It joins home furnishings chain Linen 'n Things Inc., catalog retailer Lillian Vernon Corp. and specialty retailer Sharper Image Corp. in filing for bankruptcy protection this year."

Judging by the initial response we got from readers after we reported that Steve & Barry's was in trouble, they won't be missed very much. Sad, but true!
