In 2017, Aboud also started 
selling school uniforms for students 
attending Beth Jacob. 
“We used to have a company 
that came here from New York that 
provided the school uniforms,” 
explained Aboud of the antiquated 
system. “They were here for two 
days, and every girl had to come 
and try on a uniform during that 

time. It was almost impossible to 
get a new uniform during the year. 
And what happened if a kid went 
up in size? I thought we should 
definitely have our own uniform 
store here in Detroit — and why 
not at Fit For a Kid?”
In 2022, Potpourri by Chaya 
Bakst, which sells an array of gift-
wrapped home goods, became the 
fourth store to sell out of Step & 

Style. 
The relaxed and positive vibe of 
the store is warmly appreciated by 
the community. One woman shared 
that she really pops in for the social 
life. It’s worth it to buy a yarmulke 
or something cheap even if she 
doesn’t actually need it, in order to 
get the good feeling she leaves the 
store with. 
For their part, the store owners 
love what they do and getting to 
see the community up close during 
their weekly shifts. 
“We’ve had people walk in and 
say, ‘Here’s $100, please apply 
it to someone’s bill who can’t 
really afford it,’” Aboud said. “We 
love providing a service for the 
community and also getting to see 
how wonderful it is here from the 
inside out.”
