John Baumann

My outlook has shifted a bit from the last time. Granted, Wal-Mart is not my favorite retailer, but we need something. Grand Forks' shopping is too close to us.

Cindy Gjerswold

There are quite a few premium soda brands, but the vast majority are regional or local, (with) fairly limited distribution and availability. And distribution -- getting your product from the plant to the retailer -- is probably the single greatest challenge for beverage companies today.

This is still pretty new and I haven't seen retailer results. But if it was a really successful program, more retailers would open them and the larger players would open a lot more.

My general experience is the private label manufacturer knows they're doing something not quite right; the retailer doesn't necessarily know.

Bob Mcdonald

Bill Wertz

Pretty good for a traditional retailer, but for an Internet company, we would expect much faster growth.

Most Floridians who drink wine today drink out-of-state wine. Now they will be able to order it on the Internet rather than going to a retailer or supermarket. It will mean fewer middlemen and a better deal for the consumer.

Terry Mcelroy

I could have closed down bits of British Home Stores to make more money but it's not my style. I want to make my money as a retailer, not by putting people out of work.

Philip Green

Every retailer does this every year. They look at the stores to determine if they're providing the appropriate customer service, and if they fit in with the strategy.

Chris Brathwaite

This food is imported almost entirely as canned or prepared food products. While there will be a cost to retailers who will be asked to withdraw the products from shelves and discard them, no retailer should be too badly affected.

Arun Daniel

Retailers that do a poor job satisfying customers in these last days leading up to Christmas can bear the brunt of shoppers' frustrations in the future. Consumers hold their retailer accountable for not meeting their needs and this will impact their future shopping choices.

Lee Pavach

When it becomes the third week, the novelty is going to wear off, but the consumers will still be buying one more item just because of the fact that they're going to be having ... more in their pocket. That one item is going to add up and it is going to benefit the retailer more than the consumer.

Marshal Cohen

I am excited about this great opportunity and look forward to joining the nation's leading auto parts retailer.

Bill Giles

Pepsi is willing to undertake similar efforts for any retailer interested, provided it makes economic sense.

Nicole Bradley

Randall Baumberger

Allan Katz

The boundaries on publishing, retailing and distribution are getting blurred. We can't rely any longer on the traditional assumption that we're a publisher, he's a retailer, we won't retail, he won't publish. We'll have to accommodate one another.

John Makinson

Wal-Mart is such a huge retailer that, when it changes its strategy, it's going to affect your business.

Phil Marineau

The retailers who get these economic-development incentives seem to be gaining in ways that they should really not be gaining. There is very little justification for a retailer to get incentives except that cities feel that they are competing with each other. That's the reason why they give it.

Alan Peters

It will be interesting to see if an online retailer can come into this market and get a good response. Everyone's heard of them but the question is whether they'll get the attention of the Street.

Richard Ratner

They're doing the right things and getting in the right areas. The professional builder market is a $400 billion-plus market. When you're the second-largest retailer, if you want to continue to grow you have to continue to go after really large targets.

Marvin Roffman

Financially, it's not a bad quarter. The concern from a retail perspective is that top-line sales number. It's not where you want to be as an ongoing, viable retailer. ... Long-term, you don't want to be losing customers.

Neil Stern

John Chamberlain

Whoever is developing that site has learned how to fly under the radar. They have never directly contacted us. We've had consultants tell us they're representing a 'major retailer,' but that's all.

Jim Mcgowan

The General Assembly must send a strong message to municipalities that tearing down neighborhoods to replace them with office buildings or a big box retailer must stop.

Michael Cristofaro

Brian Stebbins

A retailer lost control of their data and that info has gotten out there.

Manufacturers should not count on automatic loyalty among first-time buyers, even if their parents are current customers. Not only is it an uphill battle to get their attention, but traditional endorsements from family members don't appear to play a large factor, especially from a retailer view.

Lonnie Miller

It's all about convenience and pricing and Wal-Mart understands that better than everyone else -- that's why they are the No. 1 retailer in the world.

Stephany Sofos

Drive-offs are a growing concern because if you have one drive-off with a full tank, a retailer would have to sell 500 gallons of gas to pay for it. Oftentimes, gas station owners end up paying to cover for the drive-offs.

Roy Turner

We welcome Kuhn's Quality Foods to the SUPERVALU family. Kuhn's is a quality retailer, and we're confident they will prosper in these two locations.

David Pearson

It's hard to escape a week without some negative story about Wal-Mart. Let's look at the facts. Wal-Mart is clearly the number one retailer in America. Average consumers have to buy the products that Wal-Mart sells and they do this each and every week. The consumer isn't interested in the origin of the products purchased as long as merchandise meets their expectations.

Britt Beemer

There was a big emphasis on price promotions from the outset, but then people started procrastinating because they know the retailer will blink the longer customers wait.

With this internal process within your four walls or your four facilities, you have complete control over how a product is being tagged and read. Those have been more successful than CP [consumer products]-to-retailer kind of examples that don't really have a business case.

We're practically the last man standing in terms of a quality retailer.

Russ Solomon

I look forward to working with the Toys 'R' Us family to help the company reach its potential of being the premier retailer for toys and children's products.

They know they can't really over-commercialize that environment. You have to go about this totally differently than a typical retailer promotional partner.

Steve Riggio

We're clear that there is demand in the market for a specialty toy retailer and we're trying to answer that demand.

John Eyler

I would imagine that most people who read newspapers and look at Web sites are aware of headlines being made on substantially higher metal costs. If retailer costs go up, eventually the consumer pays for it.

Shahrukh Khan

Would be better served by continuing to hold an ownership position in a pure-play sporting goods retailer rather than a retail conglomerate.
