Dear Mr. Kim:

This letter is submitted on behalf of Syms Corp (the “Registrant”) in connection with the comment letter emailed by the Staff to the Registrant on June 7, 2011.  The Registrant seeks approval for an extension of the time to respond to the comment letter to July 6, 2011, ten business days after the initial answer date of June 22, 2011.

The Registrant has been working diligently to respond to the comments. However, given the importance to the Registrant of the issues raised, the impact that the responses will have on future filings and the need to coordinate the responses with our Audit Committee, our auditors and our outside counsel, the Registrant believe the additional time is necessary to assure appropriate responses.

Kindly contact the undersigned if you would like to discuss this letter.

Very truly yours,

SYMS CORP
