“(Other stores) are definitely more expensive and they don't have the variety in selection,” she said.

Fischer added that she was sad to see the store leaving.

“They always have the cheapest stuff. It’s really affordable and it’s really good for buying gifts for people,” she said. “It's kind of like a campus icon.”

Shopping yesterday at Steve & Barry’s, LSA freshman Reid Jacoby said he was stocking up on t-shirts before the store closes. The retailer is offering discounts of between 30 to 50 percent.

“Everything is so cheap, and it's good shirts,” he said. “I hope we can get something else like this, because it's hard to buy from the bigger stores.”

LSA senior Jennifer Sharp said she’s worried that the loss of Steve & Barry’s will result in a decrease in Wolverine pride on campus.

“I think it's sad because people come here a lot to get Michigan apparel and people won’t have as big of a selection anymore,” she said. “I think a lot of the places are a lot more high priced than here and so I think this place is really good for college kids and being able to wear college apparel on campus.”
