Exhibit (a)(1)(F)

              SYMS CORP. ANNOUNCES "DUTCH AUCTION" SELF-TENDER FOR
                      3,350,000 SHARES OF ITS COMMON STOCK

SECAUCUS, New Jersey, April 27, 2006 -

         Syms Corp.  (NYSE:  SYM)  announced  today that its Board of  Directors
authorized the repurchase of up to 3,350,000 shares of its common stock, as such
number may be increased by up to 2% of the outstanding shares,  through a "Dutch
Auction"  self-tender  offer at a price per share not less than  $16.00  and not
greater than $18.00.  The tender offer is expected to commence on April 28, 2006
and will  expire at 5:00 p.m.,  New York City time,  on  Friday,  May 26,  2006,
unless extended by the Company.

         The number of shares  proposed  to be  purchased  in the  tender  offer
represents  approximately 22% of the Company's currently outstanding shares. The
purchase will be financed from  available  cash and from the Company's  existing
credit  facility.  The closing price per share of the Company's  common stock on
the New York Stock Exchange on April 26, 2006 was $16.86 per share.

         Syms' Board of Directors has authorized  this tender offer as a prudent
use of financial resources given Syms' business,  assets and current stock price
and as an efficient  means to provide value to  stockholders.  Commenting on the
tender  offer,  Marcy  Syms  observed  that  "this  repurchase  of shares by the
Company,  as  distinguished  from a cash  dividend,  is a way for the Company to
return cash to our stockholders who elect to tender their shares, while enabling
those who retain their shares to increase their  proportionate  ownership in the
Company."

          Neither Syms nor its Board of Directors, dealer manager, depositary or
information agent is making any  recommendation to stockholders as to whether to
tender or refrain from tendering their shares in the tender offer.  Stockholders
must decide how many shares they will  tender,  if any, and the price within the
stated range at which they will offer their  shares for purchase by Syms.  Syms'
directors,  including Sy Syms and Marcy Syms, have advised the Company that they
do not intend to tender any shares in the tender offer. If 3,350,000  shares are
repurchased  pursuant  to the  tender  offer,  the  Syms  family  will  then own
approximately 67% of the Company's outstanding shares.

         The dealer  manager for the tender  offer is TM Capital  Corp.  and the
information  agent is D.F.  King & Co., Inc. The  depositary  is American  Stock
Transfer & Trust Company.  The Offer to Purchase and related documents are being
mailed to stockholders of record and will be made available for  distribution to
beneficial owners of Syms' shares. For questions or information, please call the
information agent at (888) 887-1266.

offer to buy or the  solicitation  of an offer to sell any share of Syms' common
stock.  The  solicitation of offers to buy shares of Syms common stock will only
