steve and barry's sporting goods

has anybody been to this chain. My dsis just told me about it and everything in her store is under 7.99 including jeans, hoodies, jackets, etc. According to their website each store has a different price but it's all going to be under ten bucks. I don't have one near here but there is one near my son's college so I'm planning on checking it out on school physical day. If you've been there is it as great as my sis and her kids have said.

We have one near us but I haven't gone into shop. At those prices I need to get in there and see!!!

They just opened one near us, everything was under $6.89 for the Grand Opening. They have a lot of junk in there. A lot of t-shirts, sweatshirts that have sayings that wouldn't meet the dress code at our schools. They did have some sweatshirts, etc. from various universities and they were ok, especially for under $7. I would be interested in going back in a year and see what they really carry then. I don't see how they can survive on the prices they charge. Who knows.

great jeans.
wide variety of tshirts, mostly local sports teams, but some 'raunchier' shirts
there too(with saying like you might find in Spencers)

we also bought some peacoat there. they smell, like bad dye.

My sister did say she wouldn't buy her son some of the shirts, and she's pretty lenient so they must have been something. She bought a bunch of university sweatshirts, some cute t's and jeans

so great jeans for under ten bucks. I have a house full of college kids. If I can fill out their school wardrobe with some jeans for a reasonable price, I'd give them a try.

I've been in a few times with my kids and have never bought a thing. There is nothing that appeals to either of my kids. We live in Virginia and, while the store carries a lot of collegiate wear, not of it is for any "local" schools. It is stuff no one around here would want to wear. The raunchy stuff is in there too and it's not even good quality (some of Abercrombie's T-shirts can be raunchy, but they're "cutely" styled).

I have one about 25 miles away from me and I have been in once. I want to make a trip back for some fall shopping. Ours was every thing for $7.99.

The store is set up very much like Old Navy. The quality of the clothes wasn't as good, but for $8 jeans - you can't go wrong imo. I was suprised that their jeans came in a range of different styles and lengths. I'm short so this was great for me.

Also- make sure you try things on. Their sizes tend to run small for both men and women.

I would give them a shot.

I've been to the one in Franklin Mills (Philly) and Potomac Mills (Virginia) and bought some t-shirts. They washed nice and only shrank a little bit. I'll definitely go back again.

My DH loves that store.
My girls have bought some jackets that i don't mind if they leave the locker or at someone's house for $10.00!

When my brother visits from Texas he has to go there everytime!

I agree, although now that they opened one near me, we get VCU and UVA stuff, lol!

Can you send some MY way?? My son really want a Virginia Tech zip up hoodie. Can't find one anywhere without spending $40. We used to get them at Wal-Mart but they stopped selling the zip up style.

 

[TEENEE]

We've bought things there. The quality of the jeans is not very good. They're great for jackets and t-shirts.

 

[MUFFYCAT]

Poohnatic- nice to see your picture to the name.

Your siggy always stands out to me

in a good way..

Hubby and I were in Albany, NY a few months back and we stopped in the one there. We got some great t-shirts and since that's what he wears to work every day, we thought it was a good deal.

They recently opened one closer to us and everything was $6.99. We bought more t-shirts, a couple of pairs of cargo pants for hubby that he can wear to work, and some sweatshirts. We also each got a down coat that will be great in the winter when we have to go out to shovel snow. At $6.99 each, we figured it was a steal.

We like the place, but it works for us since hubby works a manufacturing job where he gets sweaty and dirty almost daily. The prices work for our budget and his job.

It's very poor quality merchandise.

 

[dizneenut]

We shop there. Its great...esp. when you have 4 boys!
They go to $5.98 and $6.98 alot, too, whenever a new store opens somewhere.
The jeans and shorts are great quality, and you can't beat a hoodie for under $10!

 

[Fire14]

I have a lot of Michigan State stuff from one up by my parents house. I love my sweatshirts and T shirts along with my winter wind breaker jacket. My Dh has a bomber jacket that looks better than my expensive Jacket. Like someone else says for 12.00 or less I can fit in with college crowd.

I was just there this weekend. I was trying to find a pair of shorts. They were very poor quality and the fit was weird.

T shirts I am sure would be fine there though.

big difference in oppinions on this place.
