Clock shops will send things to us, and we get customers who were told by other repair businesses that their clocks weren't worth fixing. That goes back to the clock's sentimental value. In that case, we give an estimate and then let the customer decide if they want to repair it or not.

Tami Mclaughlin

People who are thought to be of Middle-Eastern background are being harassed in the workplace and abused in shops and restaurants.

Stepan Kerkyasharian

We don't want closed shops. These are open studios where the public is invited in to see how the art gets made. That's the ethos of the whole (NTC Promenade) project.

PEOPLE are experience rich and theory poor. People who are busy doing things ? as opposed to people who are busy sitting around, like me, reading and having coffee in coffee shops ? don't have opportunities to kind of collect and organize their experiences and make sense of them.

Malcolm Gladwell

That kind of crowd frequents the bars and restaurants, but the retail shops don't see much of it. It was actually slow, if anything. And we're right here where the concerts were. It was dead.

Mike Torres

There's no answer as to why this happened. Some [of the problem] has been caused by the insurance companies, but also by the lack of workforce. This is abnormal but we are a huge community and our auto body shops can't handle the volume of work.

Larry Kaplan

There are some excellent city shops, but watch out for the big box stores where guy selling you skis today is moving onto patio furniture next month.

It was like a ghost town when we played at home. Everything closed -- barber shops, restaurants, everything would literally close down for the game. Coal mining was what everyone did. People would actually call off their shifts to come and watch us play.

Mark Page

I guess they were impressed. We were one of two antique shops they recommended.

John Ramsey

Counterfeits can be found in Shanghai in small shops, but hardly in any formal shops. It's a lot better here than in other places in China. Production is almost nonexistent here, and of the thousand or so cases we found, all were minor.

Xing Dongsheng

They might be able to flourish by going with a supermarket. But who knows? It's uncharted territory. The more we see financial services firms moving to the Web, it could very much be in their (the boutique shops') interest.

John Sharpe

The idea is to be proactive and anticipate an oversupply of one market sector. We're concerned that the restaurants will displace some of the small retail [shops].

Patricia Edwards

If a city is left to its own - well, frankly, it is easier, to tear down than restore. We have some fairly unique shops here; there's no one like us around. We're helping the community with the contribution that businesses make. They bring in tax revenue that could easily go outside the area.

Tom Meeks

When I took over two years ago, people were complaining about the unlicensed shops. That reflects on the whole industry.

Now we will be able to reach even more of our friends in San Antonio and we are thrilled to be here.

Maxine Clark

Toby Miller

We will go to colleges, card and gift shops and every corner of Delhi to protest it in any form. We will burn Valentine's Day cards depicting obscenity.

Jai Bhagwan Goyal

I don't know why it is. I have my own theories. Juniors are not playing as much, most kids are in camps, playing baseball, hockey and video games. Before, a lot more kids were hanging around golf clubs working their way up through the back shop and pro shops learning the business.

Andy Shaw

The Pennsylvania was the first American railroad to lay steel rails and the first to lay Bessemer rails; it was the first to put the steel fire-box under the locomotive boiler; it was the first to use the air brake and the block signal system; it was the first to use in its shops the overhead crane.

John Moody

The fact that it is available over the Internet should in no way legitimize it. These forms of violent and abusive pornography go far beyond what we allow to be shown in films or even sold in licensed sex shops in the UK, so they should not be available online either.

Paul Goggins

What we really do is tell entertaining and compelling stories, through our rides, shops, restaurants, entertainment, even our resort hotels.

Aaron Lewis

We've seen a lot of shops and malls diversity and of into more gift and decorator products.

Chris Lagarde

There are a lot of one or two-person shops that are playing around with LED lighting. We're not playing around. This is serious business, and we want to take it onto the global level.

Neal Hunter

Hurricanes affect us terribly. If we have a bad hurricane season it'll take away from everything I did well with in that January through April period. During and after hurricanes nobody shops for clothing.

Betsy Garrison

I'm sure there are shops out there making the effort. I'm sure a lot are doing the bare minimum. Probably two-thirds of shops don't care or don't know.

Gary Adams

We expect the home delivery and the (retail) shops to build off of each other.

Mark Vance

In the 1950s, everything we needed was on Stratford Avenue — movie theaters, doctors, dentists, clothing shops, banks and grocery stores. We don't have a lot of services in the neighborhood today, but I'm very confident we can bring the neighborhood back.

Robert Morton

Beware of fakes, there are lots around. One of the policies we started was the fixed price that was very different from other antique shops. We never overcharge rich people or foreigners.

I've asked to meet with people from the business communities, the bargaining groups. I'm also going to stop by the barber shops and the local cafes -- ask all the questions everybody should be asking.

We have a good variety of stores and are pleased with our ability to stay full and offer a good variety of shops, ... Things have changed around us, but it's not a bad area.

Sharon Morgan

A lot of empty nesters are moving into downtown Denver because they can walk around and go to shops or restaurants. Downtown Denver used to have rows and rows of boarded up houses selling for $10,000, but now those houses are selling for $150,000 on the low end, and lofts are going for $1 million.

Bill Bronchick

To keep the spending momentum going beyond the holiday period I think shops are going to have to discount quite heavily so I would sell the retailers into the current rally.

Rural drivers might drive more miles because they might be further away from shops and places like that, but they're not on congested roads.

Nancy Mcdonough

Pauline Frommer

Shops and retailers in general won't rush to replenish their inventory. Commerce remains stagnant.

Tatiana Pinheiro

[The franchisees had borrowed heavily to buy the company.] We were staring a 20% interest rate in the face, ... And so any excess cash didn't go to building doughnut shops. It went to pay off debt. But we beat all of our projections, got ahead on our debt, and by 1992 the company was in great financial shape.

Bob West

We're looking for things like a Trader Joe's, coffee shops that type of thing. Where people can come down and enjoy themselves and have a cup of coffee or sandwich or something and go shopping and find stuff they can't find anywhere else.

Mark Gran

The data showed an improvement as many expected with the end of the Iraqi war, but we must remain cautious as one figure alone does not make a trend and we still need some hard figures like retail sales to show us if consumers are really flocking back to the shops.

Valerie Plagnol

Retailers have been pinning their hopes on Christmas bringing some festive cheer after months of depressed trading, and these figures are better than expected. They reflect the efforts made to entice customers back into shops, but the question is at what cost as prices are so heavily discounted.

John Longworth

Some breakfast food manufacturer hit upon the simple notion of emptying out the leavings of carthorse nose bags, adding a few other things like unconsumed portions of chicken layer's mash, and the sweepings of racing stables, packing the mixture in little bags and selling them in health food shops.

The economic benefits are that you bring 10,000 people to the city and probably one-third of them have never been here. You will have the residual effects of them coming back for the restaurants and shops.

Tommy Allegood

At that time, there weren't any other hat shops here.

I went to libraries. I went to the Library of Congress. I went to obscure video shops. Some of the most obscure films I found were in the dark, hidden, X-rated corners of the store.

Dave Douglas

The High Street shops mark yet another significant milestone in the community's ongoing development and will doubtless be warmly welcomed by residents.

John Slater

Barb Schreier

We will have some new businesses opening shops there and all of those should be ready by mid- to-late summer.

Patrick Mealey

They vandalized the police department and shops. We kept wondering what was going to happen next.

Thomas Beasley

What they really hope is that the weather cooperates, that the consumer gets out early and shops, and they [retailers] don't have to wait ... and mark down some of their goods to move sales.

Malachy Kavanagh

It was a busy area back then, ... It wasn't as busy as downtown. But it was a lot like the East Fourth Street commercial district. There were hardware stores, grocery stores, barber shops, restaurants.

Roy Walker

I don't see it having a big impact. The whole point of mutual funds is to avoid the Wall Street bias and most shops have their own in-house research. Big firms, like a Fidelity, have 200 professionals across the world so they never cared about the Street research to begin with.

Russel Kinnel

We have become a little Main Street. These shops are out there every single Saturday selling mostly handmade items and gifts.

Allen Thompson

The hardest thing for us is to build is lasting consumer loyalty. The average consumer shops at three sites; we want to be two of those three sites.

Dara Khosrowshahi

We're very proud of what's taking place in Old Town. We've seen a big increase in traffic there with all the new shops.

Aaron Adams

Barry Carpenter

We'd want the buildings there to be in the Victorian style and perhaps have the business owners living above their shops.

Carl W. Block

You can see it in designer shops in Shanghai and Beijing.

Angelica Cheung

Coffee shops gave knitting a lot of public exposure. Knitting is a very social thing and very portable. Unlike a sewing machine or a weaving loom, you can take it with you.

Karen Weiberg

There's been not enough made out of the ripple effect that the casinos bring. It extends into individual proprietorships like the coffee shops.

Tony Sheridan

Polaris provides a high-profile address and access to thousands of people who live, work and play in the area. The shops are convenience-based retail and service, which are great for those on their way to and from work at Polaris.

Franz Geiger

The more you cluster, the more suppliers will come. Then you'll even have local tool and die shops start up.

This century, surf shops are like boutiques. My store is no boutique, no fashions, just surfboards.

Toro Yamaguchi

Our customers at HP-Oracle shops have been saying, 'We want the complete portfolio.' We had bits and pieces, but we didn't have the entire thing.

Rich Marcello

I think what is being done is actually adding to this area's character. Bellingham is an artistic community and recently there have been a lot more shops opening in Fairhaven that offer local artwork. A few years ago, these artists were on their own when it came to selling their work.

Cami Grichel

A couple of years ago this popped up, and we found out that the insurance companies were referring to the lien law. If the shops don't know the laws and don't know any different, they just go along with it. We've been systematically reminding members about it.

David Mcclune

Chinatown is basically burned down, there are only a couple of shops left standing. Right up to this morning looting is still continuing.

Johnson Honimae

They can just ride the bus here (to the school) and walk on over to the CRC or, if they're job shadowing, walk to one of the shops.

Adam Fritz

The very quick and high sales of the book caught us off guard, but fortunately we got the second edition from the printers at the end of last week and the shops should now be stocked again.

Hansie Cronje

The downtown area is the ambience of the city. People come hunting for the artist, shops, and the walk. Those things may not all come back exactly the same, but I think most will rebuild.

Charles Gray

Theaters aren't as profitable as smaller shops or boutiques are.

Todd Bloomhuff

I have shops who say they could hire two or three guys right now. They might actually benefit from all the available Delphi workers if plants close.

Angelia Erbaugh

It encourages development where residents have services, shops, jobs and access to transit within walking distance of their homes.

Scott Mills

When I was younger, there were more things to choose from geared around kids who might not be going to college versus the lawyers and the doctors. They [Butler schools] have the basic wood shops and things like that, but they could give an electrical type of class.

William Wright

I don't know where we stand with that. Michael has a lot of stuff he is doing, trying to get his program up and going as far as shops and personnel and stuff, but talking about Cup stuff is not a road we've crossed.

David Reutimann

I know we want to keep downtown tuned into it. We want the restaurants and the shops and the downtown to benefit as well.

Larry Smith

She's like the quarterback for the family. She not only shops for herself, but she shops for her kids and the husband.

Scott Cooper

A lot of students showed up, ... People milled around from shop to shop. The vendors were happy and the shops were satisfied.

Beth Wood

If it were to be obliged to offer versions both with and without Media Player, then that would mean we would probably have double the number of consumer PC configuration in our shops. Of course this is product that is built before it is sold.

Brian Gammage

Mechanical repair shops don't necessarily have a great reputation.

Scott Chapman

A number of pawn shops and sporting goods stores were hit.

Fred Williams

It is a mark of insincerity of purpose to spend one's time in looking for the sacred Emperor in the low-class tea shops.

Ernest Bramah

They were overpowered, they were not shot, they were killed by knives and other metal objects. Some of the Hausa shops and their houses were also burned.

Emeka Umeh

You can't make a living on the farming anymore. There's more money in the furniture shops.

Eli Miller
