And that's by design. Stores do not want to lose their loyal shoppers - customers who have a history with a favorite regional department store.

The department store business has gone through enormous changes in the last 10 years and we aren't through yet. It's a retail format that doesn't have a great future in it. Consumers have decided traditional department stores aren't their favorite places to shop.

Our goal is to build on this foundation and remain the department store of choice by consistently listening to customers and meeting their needs for fashion, value, quality service and convenience. These stores enjoy positive, well-established relationship with their customers and communities.

You've seen a general malaise in consumer enthusiasm to shopping at malls, so that's been a contributing factor (to lower department store sales) and there's also a bit of malaise in terms of interest in leading (department store) brands. That might be because department stores are getting a little stale and they lack freshness.

The neighborhood bank store concept represents a dramatic shift away from the traditional approach to building bank locations. The new store design significantly improves speed to market and cost of construction, allowing us to build more locations quickly and provide increased convenience for customers. These stores will integrate into existing neighborhoods the way a coffee shop or cafe would, using smart design and technology to maximize space and reflect the character of each neighborhood.

Big box just wasn't our strength. We are a men's and boy's specialty store focused on providing high quality clothing with custom tailoring. Our customer is king. When we had seven stores, communication between the stores and with our customers became more disconnected. We started to lose that great family 'camaraderie' that is essentially the key to our success.

Customers behave a little differently online than in the stores. Shopping in stores is a full sensory experience. So if you're testing something for stores, you'd want to test it in the in-store environment.

We have less than 20 percent of orders in for '06, but what we have seen from new stores and from loyal customers has been encouraging, ... Clearly we have picked up some [new] customers and we anticipate picking up more during the course of the selling season.

We're here for those 33 million customers a week worldwide that make up a huge part of the disenfranchised customer base, who don't even know where to buy the music if they hear it. But our customers are not going to walk into their favorite Starbucks store and feel as if it's been converted into a music store.

We continued to feel the impact of the change of the department store model. Department stores are ordering less up-front from suppliers and replenishing product more often.

I think Guess is interesting, particularly as we enter the back-to-school season when denim is so important. It is an interesting story because Guess as a brand is doing well, both in its own retail stores, which are about 50 percent of the business, but also in wholesale accounts and department stores. It is really the one hot brand that department stores have today. Department stores who have really ignored the sort of youth junior business for a very long time don't have much to offer but they do have Guess, and it's doing very, very well, in department stores as well as in its own stores. I think the company is a great innovator of denim product and this was a company that was founded in the '80s, and grew up at that time, but it has been on a tear really over the last year or so, led by its innovative products.

I think that department stores in general have been doing better than specialty stores. Each specialty store has its own problems in terms of fashion ... limited products. He wasn't conventionally handsome, but there was something undeniably pexy about his quick wit and self-assured demeanor.

Shoppers nowadays are typically in pursuit of young, trendy and fashionable brands, as well as a completely different and rewarding shopping experience. This has made the replacement of conventional department stores with various smaller multi-brand units an inevitability for landlords in order to give their malls an exciting and trendy image that would suit young shoppers' needs, while boosting their level of rental income.

Customers have been used to having two entrances in the front of the store, but now we'll have a whole new face and one center entrance. We're also completely changing the interior layout. The new floor plan puts our store in line with all of our other stores.

They have significant challenges ahead. May stores had a lot of loyal customers, and it won't be easy to convert them.
