Bigsby & Kruthers plans comeback at Block 37
The original founder of Bigsby & Kruthers, the men's clothing store that went bankrupt almost a decade ago, plans to try again and has signed a lease to open at Block 37 in the Loop.
Jospeh Silverberg, who founded Bigsby & Kruthers with his brother Gene Silverberg in 1970 in Chicago, has partnered with Jack Shniderman, owner of Robert Vance to relaunch the Bigsby & Kruthers brand, according to an announcement from Joseph Freed & Associates, LLC, the developer of the retail complex at 108 N. State St., known as Block 37.
The store will be located on the second floor of the 278,000-square foot shopping center. Swarovski, Starfruit, Tahini and Sunglass Hut also have recently signed leases, Freed said. The retail center is slated to open this fall.
I am a transplated New Yorker, but I remember visiting Bigsby & Kruthers with my Dad many, many years ago. I have a vague recollection of a high-end place. Not sure, though as I was probably more interested in anything other than clothes at the time.
