 PROFILE
Syms sells fancy names at not-so-fancy prices. Run by a father and daughter team, Sy and Marcy Syms, the company sells men's tailored clothing and haberdashery; women's dresses, suits, and separates; children's clothes; and men's, women's, and children's shoes. Syms sells recognized designer and brand-name merchandise at lower prices than department and specialty stores. It targets middle-income customers who are conscious of prices and brands. Started with a New York City store in 1959, Syms runs nearly 50 stores in the northeastern US, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas. Sy Syms owns about 39% of the company.
