FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

STAGE STORES REPORTS JANUARY SALES

AFFIRMS Q4 EPS CONSENSUS

HOUSTON, TX, February 5, 2009 - Stage Stores, Inc. (NYSE: SSI) today reported that its total sales for the four week January period ended January 31, 2009 decreased 9.4% to $74.4 million from $82.1 million in the prior year four week period ended February 2, 2008.  Comparable store sales for the month decreased 13.1% versus an increase of 1.0% last year.

For the fourth quarter, the Company reported that its total sales decreased 3.7% to $455.8 million from $473.1 million in the fourth quarter last year.  Comparable store sales for the quarter decreased 7.2% versus a decrease of 3.1% for the prior year period.  For the 2008 fiscal year, total sales were $1,515.8 million compared to $1,545.6 million for the 2007 fiscal year.  Comparable store sales for the fiscal year decreased 6.1% versus a decrease of 1.1% last year.

Andy Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Sales for the fourth quarter were within our guidance range and we are comfortable with the current analysts’ consensus earnings estimate of $0.66 per diluted share.

“We have successfully managed our business through the tough economic environment.  Our comparable store inventories are down 17%.  Additionally, we ended the year with no borrowings on our $250 million revolving credit facility.  In fact, our overall debt level is approximately half of what it was a year ago.  Looking forward, we believe 2009 will be another challenging year and we will continue to plan and manage our business accordingly,” Mr. Hall concluded.

The Company plans to report its fourth quarter and 2008 fiscal year earnings results before the market opens on Tuesday, March 10, 2009, and will hold a conference call and webcast the same day beginning at 8:30 am Eastern Time.
