I left Penney's in 1969 to join the Nixon administration and I didn't come to the Senate until 1992, but I brought with me a residual understanding of retailing and retailing issues.

John Shepperd

Most of the jobs are entry-level: tellers, assemblers and retail sales.

Alan Miller

Jonathan Gruber

Worldwide Internet retail sales were almost $23 billion in 1999 and we expect that to double in 2000. Street estimates for worldwide sales in 2002 are approximately $105 billion, with $65 billion of that in the U.S. This implies an annual growth rate of 80 percent worldwide.

Tom Courtney

The rollout phase for our cutting-edge product to ICM's customers will begin immediately, giving us a unique and powerful distribution network, ...

Retailing is a unique destination. What you need is stronger critical mass.

John Simon

During this highly promotional retail environment in the United States, our gross margins have significantly increased, reflecting the consistent application of our philosophy of a 365-day full price proposition in our retail stores.

The scenarios in which you will use item tags are very different from the scenarios for case and pallet tags.

Sue Hutchinson

August retail results were up in both cameras and film. In addition, the company continues to make progress in reducing its digital imaging losses.

Gary T. Dicamillo

Robert Krueger

Retail spending is recovering nicely with a solid momentum occurring since May.

Stephen Koukoulas

In the past we haven't done a lot to foster the (PC gaming) ecosystem, we've just allowed it to exist. With Vista we are going to do specific marketing and retail stuff.

Housing, office, retail, the specific mix will be something we get from the community process. We want to engage the community on just what people want.

Dee Haussler

With the additional pedestrian traffic we are projecting downtown and the additional retail stores, we want to guarantee safety.

Developing a more diversified income base, whether it is fee-based or from trading, is always a good strategy. Interest rates will remain low in China and Bank of Communications needs to develop more retail products.

Sears had a good profit report. Some of the retailers were getting hit a bit yesterday on the retail sales data, but with Sears coming out with what they did, that should help that group a little.

Victor Pugliese

Impairments have been very much in line with our expectations. This will continue in retail terms to be a very benign credit cycle.

Jim Reeve

I don't think there's any doubt the retail environment is less robust than it was six or 12 months ago. The causes of that modest slow down are clearly macro-driven. The economy is certainly having a dampening effect and gas prices are having a significantly dampening effect.

Aram Rubinson

The department stores did better than I expected to do. It was a decent performance in a tough environment for retail sales.

Robert Buchanan

The monthly decline in the retail sector was a bit stronger than normal because there was more seasonal hiring than over the past couple of years.

Joseph Stefanov

It is magnificent that inflation continues to be low, but retail sales are smoking.

Neal Soss

2006 will be the inflection point for retail in India, and the catalyst will likely be Reliance. So far, very incremental investments have been made in India by modern retailers ranging between US$5 million and US$50 million a year. The pace of change and the penetration have been very slow.

Arvind Singhal

The simple reason that they're able to forecast that kind of figure, that they're able to launch and get retail acceptance for something this large, is really positive.

William Chappell

Andrea Jung

Generally speaking, retail developers are timing new projects and expansions to coincide with residential development clusters.

Karen Earley

Just as the institutional long-only market has become more focused on value added, retail funds are likely to follow gradually in the years to come.

Geoff Miller

We believe that January's rise was a result of continued strong performance in the key factors that drive the retail used vehicle market. And, we also believe that the magnitude of January's gain was kept in check by the fact that early gains had already rectified any imbalance in the relationship between new and used vehicle pricing.

Tom Webb

We've really created a buzz in the retail and manufacturing industries. We'll be visible.

Keith Primeau

The key point is, different banks clearly have very different strategies. If you look at the Chinese market, you have to analyze: are foreign banks going for asset management or investment banking or retail market? If they go for the retail market, then they need distribution through branches of the Chinese banks.

Bob Parker

We're excited to substantially grow our retail presence because retail margins are counter-cyclical to refining margins, so in the event we experience lower refining margins, retail margins will help stabilize our earnings.

We will be converting to ethanol-based products at our retail locations in this area starting in mid-April.

Gerald Davis

We believe retail supply chain is the next [big] thing, but it's slowly getting started, and it very much has a mandate feel.

Julie England

I think you're seeing some movement on the retail sales and oil, but I don't think it's meaningful. I still think this market will grudgingly go up.

Kurt J. Wolfgruber

The fact they increased to 42 percent was a major step towards Wal-Mart's commitment to Seiyu and to the Japanese retailing market.

Peggy Furusaka

It creates the office space we want and supports that office space with a sizable retail development.

Joseph Stefanov

All available indicators of retail activity are moving in the direction of improving household spending.

I'm very enthusiastic. I wanted to design a retail store that will celebrate our San Francisco roots.

Mark Dwight

The strength in this component, which includes apparel and home entertainment goods, bodes well for Christmas retail sales.

High interest rates have affected car and motorcycle sales. The high interest rate climate has affected consumer demand; retail sales have been affected.

Henry Ho
