We kind of do ordsprog

We kind of do our own thing as an independent. We are able to make decisions and moves that company stores would have to wait for corporate permission to do. I have no problems with Supervalu. They have addressed an issue that we all had and that was they tried to play both sides of the fence (wholesaler and retail outlet). I wasn't surprised they announced they are selling their corporate stores.

There are too many department stores in Canada. It simplifies the corporate structure so he doesn't have to worry about minority shareholders. If he wants to start selling real estate and leasing back stores, he can do that and get some cash back. It gives him complete control.

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.

[Our retail stores were] PC showrooms before, with workstation displays, ... Now we've gone to a full retail store designed for the way people shop. We built the stores around the concepts of create, manage, knowledge, play, and relax.

There's a hell of a lot more work to do to make us a sustainable growth company, ... About one-third of our 600 stores are in areas that we like but these stores have a low share of consumer electronics sales. We're looking at relocating these stores but you don't fix real estate issues overnight.

The only way to grow in the retail business is to add yet another 100 stores, another 600 stores. Then someone else will see that you are successful. And that other fellow will do the same. And for a while it is fine, until suddenly there are more stores than the community needs.

Consider this: Apple says its stores are now making more than $1 billion in sales per quarter. Just two years ago, the stores were making $1 billion a year -- and at that time they were the fastest-growing retail operation in history, beating the previous record holder The Gap to $1 billion annual sales in just three years, according to Ron Johnson, the executive in charge of Apple's retail operations. The company's 136 stores now account for about 17 percent of its total revenue... Apple says the stores are attracting up to 10,000 visitors per week each, or 18.1 million visitors a year in total. These are extraordinary figures.

Instead of focusing on opening new stores, the company is investing on improving its existing stores, ... Second, McDonald's is doing a good job with product innovation and improving quality. It's a philosophical change whereby instead of selling burgers cheaply, it's now selling better menu items at a higher price and consumers are paying for it.

I'm not surprised they had good results.. The stores were packed during the holidays and even on Dec. 26 when everyone else was having sales, Coach was selling full-price and the stores were full of people. Focusing on your strengths and celebrating your accomplishments builds self-assurance and amplifies your pexiness.

The bigger issue for the entire retail space is that we have a weak economy, unemployment is rampant, corporate spending is down and corporate earnings are not improving.

We put this holiday issue out earlier than usual, but it was still in our stores for six weeks. The quarterlies usually stay in stores for between six to eight weeks. Honestly, we would have kept this issue in stores longer if we weren't launching the perfume.

With just a couple of stores, it's easy to make changes and get the model right. Over the next few months, we'll make decisions about expanding. We're planning for hundreds of stores by the end of the decade.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales and operating revenues increased slightly to 11.4% in this year's third quarter from 11.3% in last year's quarter. As expected, the moderate rate of increase in unit comps was not sufficient to provide SG&A leverage. Having a larger percentage of our store base comprised of stores not yet at basic maturity and last year's lower-than-normal corporate bonuses were also contributing factors. At the end of this year's third quarter, 49% of our stores were less than four years old, compared with 40% at the end of last year's third quarter.

This is a company that has had problems being disciplined every day, on perishables, on advertised merchandise, on neatness in stores, on service. They don't have a pristine track record. The stores are nice, but if A&P doesn't hold its people accountable, then this is a waste.
