Steve & Barry's appears headed for liquidation

A bankruptcy filing in New York appears to signal an end to efforts to save about 170 Steve & Barry's stores that survived an earlier round of restructuring. Operators now plan to liquidate inventory at all stores no later than early next year, according to court documents.

A list of assets includes locations in Century III Mall, West Mifflin, Monaca, Irwin and Erie. Steve & Barry's filed for bankruptcy in July and later sold assets to BH S&B Holdings.

More than 100 stores, including sites in Lower Burrell, Greensburg and Johnstown, were shuttered in the first round of closings.
