Histori
Through a series of acquisitions, the company has grown to 793 stores on July 29, 2017.
In June 1992, Stage Stores, later known as Specialty Retailers, Inc. (SRI), acquired Fashion Bar, Inc., a family-owned business in Colorado with 71 stores, most of which is comparable to the Palais Royal and Bealls. The rest is a small specialty store known as Stage Stores, which is already part of the SRI operation.
In 1996, SRI completed the closing of other Fashion Bar Stores but retained the Stage name. The company bought forty-nine Beall-Ladymon, Inc. stores, which were sold by company president Horace Ladymon. The stores are located in Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi; they reopened in 1994 under the name "Stage".
The stage was extended to Northwest with acquisitions in 1997 at the store C. R. Anthony Co. and Tri-North.
The company acquired Uhlmans in 1997 which brought Stage to Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana. All of these new stores, however, were closed in 1999 when Stage Stores filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The closure as part of bankruptcy covers most of the former Fashion Bar, Milliken, Tri-North, and Uhlman stores, as well as exodus from Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota.
Stage-board stores still operate in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, and Oklahoma. Before the bankruptcy, Stage stores also operate in Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
In 2003, Stage Stores acquired 136 Peebles stores located in 17 states.
The company bought Goody's name through Goody's bankruptcy auction in 2009. This nameplate is used in the market with strong customer awareness and brand recognition on behalf of it.
Stage Stores acquired Gordmans in 2017.
