Syd Jerome Menswear Has Been Burglarized Or Looted 4 Times, Owner Says Store Might Not Make It
Aug 14, 2020
The windows at the Syd Jerome menswear had to be boarded up yet again after the rash of looting early Monday morning – and for employees, boarded-up windows have almost become routine now. Syd Jerome, 20 N. Clark St., has been an icon in Chicago’s Loop for many years. It has also been hit four times by theft or looting since December of last year. On Thursday, Scott Shapiro watched video of his store getting looted this week. “If you notice, they take their time,” he said. Read more at CBS Chicago.
Scott, I do not know you, but my heart goes out to you. It is difficult enough trying to sell better menswear in a pandemic when your customer base may not even be working in downtown. Only suggestion is to have a steel rolling covering over your beautiful store. It is a shame how some people choose to behave. The consequences are many and none good. Wish you the best.
Very sorry to hear this, wish you the best
Wrong, just wrong.
