Steve & Barry's said Tuesday it will close two of its five Minnesota stores as part of a plan to reposition the discount retailer, which was bought last month by an East Coast investment partnership.
Stores in Brookdale Center in Brooklyn Center and Westgate Mall in Baxter will be closed, although no final date has been set, said a Steve & Barry's spokesman. Stores in Burnsville Center, Northtown Mall in Blaine and Knollwood Mall in St. Louis Park will remain open.
