More of them (customers) come to the main store still but most people shop at both stores.

Michael Phillips

Head down to a DIY store and have a look around. Try and make yourself aware of what's out there, so that when you start dealing with the professionals, you've got some idea of the materials available [for the jobs you want done].

Chris Blyth

What happens in the drug business, what happens in the supermarket business, what's happening in the department store business and is happening in the telephone business is that the big are getting bigger.

Peter Solomon

He's always wanted to have a candy store.

Bonnie Williams

The sales of new cars in 2006 have doubled since the showroom has opened. The new store will definitely add sales to our bottom line.

Chris Cain

It is the premier store of its type ... that represents our Phase Two development in the best way. It will take us to the next level.

Rob Goldstein

It's a thrill to see the store evolve. You can touch furniture, sit on things.

Mark Mccaslin

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.

Jeff Edelman

We see this as a place for neighborhood services as opposed to high-end retail such as an electronics store.

Peter Snook

Somebody goes to a store and there's only, you know, three brands of hot dogs, they only have three choices to make. They go to a store and there's 100 brands of hot dogs ... now they start getting into the color of the packaging.

Don Ohlmeyer

We are encouraged by the better-than-expected (comparable-store sales) ... but we note that high promotional activity will likely continue to pressure merchandise margins.

Gabrielle Kivitz

We've got sales stuff up at the front of the store that's just kind of flying. We've got sales stuff in the middle of the store that's just going. We got a whole bunch of new Star Wars stuff, all kinds of new games, and it's just flying off the shelves.

Mark Peterson

Three hundred to 400 jobs were promised here. Where's the baker, (the) candlestick maker, grocery store, doctor, dentist, real estate agent? Where is all the new development?

Luis Garcia

That grocery store, that was something. You would be just tickled to go in there and pick out any candy you could want.

Ruth Johnson

They have helped the younger guys on the team prepare for what's in store for them from the fans in the east side bleachers, ... We know that those fans will be giving it to us all night long, then ask for your autograph after the game. But we need to keep our heads in the game. We didn't do that last time, and that hurt us.

Jim Moore

When a customer enters my store, forget me. He is king.

John Wanamaker

We work with every kind of family there is, and we have lots of pride in what we handle at the store.

Barbara Dunneback

Things that should be together are together. Our first filter is to make shopping easy for our guests, even though it may be harder for us to operate. Imagine that -- a store that stands for the shopper.

Robin Johnson

We are confident that the federal appeals court will ultimately find in our favor. We believe we are correct in classifying our store managers as salaried managers, and we intend to continue to fight for what we believe is right.

Howard Levine

She hoped that they would someday find a cure for cancer. She never wanted her kids, or anyone, to go through what she had gone through. She was always there for other people. If she was in a store, and someone ran short of money buying groceries, she would pay for it. She was always trying to do something for other people.

Jim Houdek

Each store has their respective specialty.

Harry Brown

She was working at an ice cream store, ... I stopped there, I saw her and I fell right in love.

James Kramer

They tell me this is a lucky store for them.

Ron Lynch

He shows people how to do the tricks we sell. Magic is almost a separate part of the store. He takes care of everything, both buying and selling.

Paul Fisher

While we are disappointed with the results and expect continued intense competition, we remain committed to our focus on store execution, training, inventory control and effective advertising and promotions. We believe this is the formula for increasing sales and improving cash flow in the long term.

Mary Sammons

Great music can and should reach an extremely broad audience. When you walk into a retail store, you're blown away; it can be very intimidating to a newcomer. What the digital medium allows us to do is to focus attention on recordings, artists and composers whom we think will appeal to a lot of people, and break through a lot of the barriers that exist in the physical retail world.

Jonathan Gruber

If they're going to have license renewal, they're going to need a place to store spent fuel.

Diane Screnci

It's like having a department store, and not having individual departments and expecting (consumers) to find what they are looking for.

Rob Lancaster

It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.

Alec Bourne

We did hear Martha Stewart bought several pounds [of butter] when she was in Aroostook County. She went into a little store and bought out what he had.

Alice Lincoln

Not far from my front door are five liquor stores and five or more churches. Things would be almost perfect if we had some restaurants here and a decent grocery store.

Jose Ramirez

Without a doubt, without that inserted in her chest I would have come back from the grocery store and found my wife dead.

Chris Higgins

This is the only store in California with all you need to make any type of mosaic art.

Laurel True

As we end one of the most challenging years for the in-store rental industry, we are focused more than ever on the overall profitability of our business.

John Antioco

The Whole Foods store in Toronto is using it in their seafood section. They've actually increased the lights on their fish and reduced the amount of heat on them by 10 degrees using one of our systems.

John Davenport

The momentum of the Sprint Music Store is remarkable and truly an industry first, with our second million downloads reached in less time than our first million. Since we stopped offering free promotional incentives on Jan. 14, the usage of the Sprint Music Store has actually increased.

Nancy Beaton

The publicist called beforehand to make sure that the store was prepared for their privacy.

Samantha Winch

You want to establish a relationship with a breeder or a store.

Lisa Peterson

That's an incredibly low error rate, given the amount of price changes that take place in a single department store. It's nothing for retailers to be ashamed of.

Pamela Rucker

I notice a lot of women throughout the night throwing their heels to the side. Bring a pair of flip flops and add rhinestones or beads from the art store and have your own designer pair of shoes. And save those feet.

Heidi Zimmerman

My cake lady and her husband dropped off the cake, ran to the grocery store and bought all the flowers in the grocery store.

Staci Snow

Anyone can afford anything in this store.

Victoria Brown

The labor market is very tight. All employers are trying to find workers. But there is some ambience to working in a brand new store.

Kathy Baylis

It's a professional place. It's not a party store.

Janet Davis

What we envisioned is a place where the kids can study, and we'll have a place to watch videos of them on the field, as well as a place for them to store their stuff.

Val Mclean

We have no plans to acquire Napster, nor do we have plans to develop a music store at this time.

Sonya Boralv

I was lucky. In 1997, I walked into a sporting goods store to buy some lures and saw an ad that someone was looking for someone to manage a fishing lodge. I was hired and the man who was my boss was a former professional fisherman. That gave me a 9-to-5 income but also gave me time off work to fish events.

Mike Iaconelli

That building has been torn down now, but the order began meeting in a second building in 1913 above a grocery store.

Marvin Imel

The man who can put himself in the place of other men, who can understand the workings of their minds, need never worry about what the future has in store for him.

Owen D. Young

My favorite part of this is watching the kids on their way to the store.

Joe Turner

There are no sales going on; it's more of a display store. I was not there as much as I would have liked to have been because it was just a busy part of the season. From what people have said, the response has been positive.

Barb Bartley

I'm taking Stanley shopping one day. I'm going to teach him how to go to the grocery store and shop because he doesn't understand. And I told him that: Look at the back of cans. Look at fat grams.

Brad Lawing

We plan on achieving profitable growth in the European market by opening stores, growing same-store sales and improving margins through operational efficiencies and better buying power.

Don Meij

The farm will give younger kids an idea of where the apples they eat come from, where the eggs that Mom feeds them at home come from, before she buys them in the store. Having to dig for potatoes in the sand will make kids realize that it takes some effort to get to some foods.

Connie Miller

The town wanted us to go with the prosperity plan. It's so exciting to see it work. People will be able to walk from home and go to the dentist, eat lunch, get a cup of coffee and see their friends. Then they can go to the grocery store before they go home.

Kevin Coleman

If we can spend $4 million for that car race, can't we do something about a store?.

Bill O'brien

You could buy anything there ... a full-service store with a meat market and everything. My dad provided jobs for kids.

Annie Mcgee

We didn't check the other districts. But based on these 18 cases, Yan is not a common consumer turning to the court for help when a store cheated him.

Hu Hairong

The issues surrounding spam are very different in the corporate environment than they are for ISPs. ISPs are worried about the resource drain in having to send and store spam, and they're worried about the churn in subscribers caused by spam. With corporations, the problems are liability and productivity.

Sunil Paul

Drive your most sensible car. If it's a trip to the grocery store, don't take the pickup, take your compact car.

Justin Mcnaull

If you expose the meat to (carbon monoxide), you get extra storage life out of it and it's better for the store and industry in terms of return.

Jim Claus

In late October we were informed that our local St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store would be closing.

Pat Niksich

It's not safe for everybody, and unless you're experienced you should be going to the store and buy it, or buy it from the guy on the side of the road, or call my uncle on the Big Island and he go get 'em and I got to give him money for his time.

Renee Nunies

Look at the results of (Chico's) same-store sales. They keep posting incredible numbers year after year. Passport keeps growing and it gets people coming into stores.

Christine Chen

Most of the real estate they own is well-located real estate. There's room in this market for more than one grocery store chain.

Bill Strauss

He knew the jig was up when police came in the store.

Brad Wimmer

Consumers should look [to see] whether the pet store has posted a return policy.

Larry Kaplan

This is not a game, ... Debt has become a part of who we are. It's become that spoiled child in the grocery store with their lip stuck out: 'I want it. I want it. I deserve it because I breathe air.' And, well, that's an uphill climb in our culture right now, to go against that and say, 'Hey, let's be grownups here. Let's be mature, learn to delay pleasure, save up and pay for things.'

Dave Ramsey

In the face of the Federated/May merger and the 1,000-store chain it creates, Nordstrom has gone increasingly the other way -- more towards the personal shopping and the customization of the experience. It is very astute -- they have recognized that bigger isn't better, and are instead giving customers control over how they access the merchandise.

Patricia Johnson

If carbon deposits is a concern, go to an auto parts store and buy a fuel system cleaner. Pour it in and it will help clean engine deposits. It's cheaper over the long end.

Rik Paul

We have achieved 7.5 percent hydrogen; we want to achieve this percent at ambient temperatures. We can store significantly more hydrogen with the MOF material than without the MOF.

Omar Yaghi

What we have been seeing is an increase in doubling up, or having more than one staff member, so obviously safety is a concern for the store owners.

Jacqueline Chaput

The other thing that happens in the home visit is we might find out they also need pots and pans or something like that. Because the need has been validated with a form, they can take the form to the thrift store, and we'll give them what they need.

Carlos Rubio

It's not that they have take them into their homes. It's more giving them directions to the grocery store, providing rides and advice about the new area they are living in.

Bill Pyle

By bringing Mirra's innovative software and services talent together with Seagate's hardware expertise, global resources and world-class brand, we will set the stage for significant growth in value-added branded products, ... Together, we will change the way consumers protect, store and access their digital content.

Tom Shea

My original intent was to start a Web site and then open a card store and storefront after I was in business a couple of years.

Mike Odinwaller

It's a very exciting experience for the store.

Kelly Bowen

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.

Chuck Wines

You could go to a store, buy an MP3, pay with e-cash and walk away, ... And you might do that under your music-listening pseudonym. That way, they can give you great referrals, but they don't know who you are.

Austin Hill

The bottom line is we had a range of 'implementation issues' that are leading us to open at a later date. We wanted to make sure we got it right. The company wants the store operating as early as possible.

Philip Serghini

The directive really makes it a lot easier for governments and companies in Europe to learn about who is doing what on the Internet. The problem with the requirement to store online data is that it can easily be misused.

Adrian Brown

That's one of the only times I've seen Dano get nervous. You could see he was on edge. He was like a kid in a candy store. He was really nervous.

Tommy Albelin

Those that have store, Web and catalog will be the big winners, ... The consumers tell us they're going to spend their money with brands they know. That's why we call it 'the revenge of the incumbents.'

Michael Silverstein

We were having coffee at the only store in town and decided we had to do something.

Carl Bell

The association earns money by helping to sell them and working at the store on the day of the event.

Jan Wilson

So if you are a superb customer on the Internet or visit our Boston store all the time -- we'll know that right away, and we can give you the shopping experience you deserve.

Harry Kubetz

The traditional brick and mortar [store] is not always the way.

Stacey Key

Retailers who are unaware that the product has been banned for sale should remove it from store shelves, and parents should take them away from children.

Julie Vallese

We anticipate further like-for-like growth in the fourth quarter, supported by further store openings.

Charles Dunstone

There's no difference because we happen to be a nonprofit when you're running a store. We have to compete like any other business.

Ann Turner

Every time we'd go out, I was praying it would happen. Every time we'd go to the grocery store, I'd dress up.

Brenna Moser

Thousands of people are applying to work at every store we open. We must be doing something right.

Amy Hill

The store owner may recognize a customer when they come in and know them by name.

Bob Glaser

Anybody who works in a convenience store or works unusual hours should be aware of what or who is around them. If something doesn't look right, it probably isn't right.

Greg Thompson

Everybody is just happy to get a grocery store back over here.

David Dixon

If you can profuse, or basically run a solution with an antifreeze protein and flood an organ with it, you might then be able to store it at lower temperatures and the antifreeze would prevent the organ from actually freezing.

Laurie Graham

Cassie's Creepy Candy Store.

Don Shelby

People are shopping when they are on Fry, but they're on their way to Tucson when they're driving along Highway 90. That's why we've opened another store in Sierra Vista. It's a much better location.

Terry Huddleston

We think we can actually stop that. We're not accusing them of helping to make weapons. But they are helping store nuclear bombs.

Pete Reilly

However, the question remains, where will we store the stockpile?

Steve Kuo

I'm sure God's got a better building in store for us.

Joe Boylan

He told me one minute he was driving up there, the next minute people are shooting. He doesn't try and put himself in these situations, and yet things can happen. He didn't get up and say, 'I am going to this gas station and get gunfire.' And he is not the only person that has gone to a gas station or convenience store at (2) in the morning.

Michael Huyghue

He fell down, got up, started running towards us, then got taken down right at the edge of the store.

Ricardo Quinones

It's purely conjecture. Most people who moved out here already understood they'd have to drive a minimum of 6 miles to get to any gas station or store.

Penny Riccio

We plan to sell honey and olive oil, launching in (London department store) Harrods in August.

Trudie Styler

None of these vehicles are abandoned. Many leave them here in the winter and then take them out during the season when they can use them. They pay us to store them here during the winter.

Thomas Colasanto

We believe a true town center needs a grocery store.

Phil Fawcett

We are competitive in terms of lead times, because the fabric and the shirts can be in the store in one week.

Arnault Cassanet

This would become then a residential circulator. That would be when you could use it to get to the grocery store and whatever else we could service with that.

Steve Noll

Together, we will change the way consumers protect, store and access their digital content.

Tom Shea

We do have regular store hours now and we're a little bit more accessible to people. We are growing and maybe in the future we could hire a person or two, contribute more to the economy.

Jeanie Pitzenberger

If I'm a customer, I'm not going to be very happy if I've already paid $1,000 for your system and I have to pay another $99 for an upgrade. We (as a retailer) have to keep customers happy and bring them back to the store.

Randall Baumberger

The store investments may pay dividends for the company this summer, when the sales are at their highest.

Cid Wilson

People have to eat. The grocery store is an important part of every neighborhood.

Terry O'neil

I think when you look at this, you have to look at this with global perspective, ... It does matter if you're going for that store and Edmond goes for it. ? It does put you at a competitive advantage. ? These are tremendous tools and if we don't start using them to compete, we start losing police and firefighters.

Sean Paul

It took one phone call because we didn't have anywhere to store these books. So I called and asked, and the woman said yes immediately. Since November, the books have been stored at EZ with no charge.

Lori Dilucente

At the same time, consumers' sensitivity to APR (annual percentage rate interest rate) levels and other charges is low. Taken together, this results in store cardholders who take up credit, and associated insurance, paying more than they would in a fully competitive market.

Christopher Clarke

I'll be in a grocery store in Belfast, and some will ask, 'Don't you have a TV show about the law?'

Roger Katz

They all find out that you opened the mail and they get an invisible tracking number, so if you go to a store ... that number is reported to them and they can build that information into a database.

Jason Catlett

We built a modern, attractive store — and it drives traffic into the community. The Monroe store's business has been unbelievable, and it has been very good to our company.

Jimmy Flynt

There seems to be an acceleration of store openings in Ireland and the flagging of intentions for other European countries is probably the first time they've put that in writing.

John Burgess

We're a destination store, so we've had lots of customers say there's no parking.

Mike Ellman

The competition is tougher. We recognize that consumers spend the most in the store you go to first, and we want to be the first store.

Peggy Palter

Contemplating a complete refresh of in-store technologies used to be daunting enough but now the need for real time information across multiple channels to multiple constituencies makes it even more challenging. But savvy retailers understand that bringing information to the consumer and store employees and managers can boost both top and bottom line results.

Paula Rosenblum

She's the right candidate. I like her approach at how she looks at the business. She walks into a store and wants to see it through the consumer's eyes.

Stacey Widlitz

The company annually evaluates each store and determines whether the goals that were set were met.

Rich Savner

We don't want a format war to occur. The last thing we want to have is customers coming into the store confused about which format is which and what's compatible.

Amanda Tate

We've had maybe $40,000 to $50,000 worth of cattle stolen here within five miles of this store since November.

Dale Horner

The top 10 things that made Fremont County the place it is today. We also want to add a clothing store to the already existing rooms of the museum and make more room for the Native American section.

Lona Lewis

In the Beginning was the beginning of quilting in Seattle. It is the first place I went, long before I did a store or ever thought of a store, and I have been in business for 25 years.

Judy Martin

Most people going by here have been in the store.

Richard Avery

I was with him in the store and I was with him in bed when he was taken. Overnight everything was changed. Innocence was gone. Things I experienced that night, I never even dreamed of happening. It had a negative effect on my life but I made the best of what I had. I didn't let it destroy me.

Simeon Wright

The earth with its store of wonders untold,/ Almighty! thy power hath founded of old; / Hath 'stablished it fast by a changeless decree, / And round it hath cast like a mantle the sea.

Robert Grant

They kind of helped the guy and store people carry things in.

Jeff Hennion

For however long the plant operates, we have sufficient room to store things, but that's not the desirable option.

David Tarantino

In order to be successful in our efforts to prevent child abuse and neglect from occurring, we count on our community partners. From elected officials, businesses, family members and agency staff to teachers, bus drivers, store clerks and all others who come into contact with families and children. To point: Almost all of us qualify as partners in this effort.

Bob Gallagher

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

Mark Dwight

We are seeing the economy slowing down, and that is affecting same-store sales.

Jharonne Martis

You know, I'm like a kid in a candy store right now. I love being mayor of the city that I was born and raised in, that my grandpa came to a hundred years ago. I'm going to be mayor of the city of Los Angeles for the next four years.

Antonio Villaraigosa

We're still evaluating the store base. We've made no other determinations as of yet.

Jim Sluzewski

Our impressive same store sales growth reinforces our plan to open additional stores in 2006.

Mark Craft

I'm satisfied with the store as it stands.

Lana Planisek

It was last Friday and I happened to be in the store when an elderly woman, accompanied by what appeared to be her daughter, was haltingly pushing a shopping cart. She was kind of leaning on the cart, using it to help her keep her balance I guess.

Lida Krieger

That is like stealing from the store. The chopper over the middle that they made the first error on gave us a chance and then we were able to come up with some big two out hits.

Mark Pollard

Under Michigan law, unless something was intentionally misrepresented or defective, there's no mandatory right for a consumer to make a return. But if a store posts a return policy, they must follow the terms of the policy.

Tim Burns

It will be a freestanding store with a double drive-through pharmacy window. Right now, it's not slated to be a 24-hour operation.

Tiffani Bruce

We call it the Michigan Speedway. I tell my customers to not even try making a left turn leaving the store and, once they get on the road, to stay in the slow lane and let everyone go around you.

Mary Carter

Sure, T. Tommy, this is your store.

Tammy Dibbs

No matter how much you buy, even a small quantity, it will be recorded. When you have a cold, I know you don't like to spend anymore time in the store than you want to, but we think it's a pretty minimal impact.

Frank Cassidy

The steak and chicken fell out of the diet. It's like going to the grocery store and (seeing) there are only a few yucky things in the store. You adapt by using what's there.

Julia Parrish

All of a sudden you?d be talking to someone at the store and they?d be like, have you heard of this North American Training Lodge?

Michelle Dunn

Basically, chicks are for people who want fresh eggs. You can't taste eggs like that from the store.

Trish Sullivan

They've been waiting for this guy. They're going to get after him good. He'll be singing after every meal. I know they've got something in store for him. There's been some pretty hot days out there. He's missed some of them, and they're going to let him know it.

Ted Cottrell

By including a retail real-estate developer in a partnership to make an offer for HBC, a financial player would avail himself of the expertise to examine every property and store lease and determine alternative strategies for each piece of real estate before making an offer.

David Brodie

Our students were very moved by seeing where Aaron Henry operated his 4th Street Drug Store.

Mark Auslander

Sometimes he would just sit out in the parking lot and keep an eye on the store. No one ever asked him to do that - he just did. That was just the kind of gentleman he was.

Timothy Clougherty Sr

A red border means the person is too young to be buying tobacco products. Store clerks have no excuse for selling tobacco to minors.

Mike Robertson

We have managed to hold onto a few copies for each store so we should have enough on the first day or two to cater for demand.

Gennaro Castaldo

I don't want to reveal too much, but I hope everyone will come out and see what we have in store. This tournament is unique in so many ways, not only because of the prizes up for grabs but also for the different elements that we are going to add to the game that will make it even more exciting.

Allen Stanford

When the first wreck happened, we were able to get them moved into Apple Lane Farms, ... Just as we were about to clear up, we heard a thud from a wreck at the (RaceWay convenience store).

Kevin Hunter

We're thrilled that the popularity of Mac OS X opens doors for developers to create innovative solutions across a broad range of markets. As the use of digital media grows rapidly, there's a strong demand for a centralized place to securely store, back up and share content.

Ron Okamoto

For a store like mine, one or two cases is a year's supply. We don't have that many on the shelves.

Darwin Cheasley

Wal-Mart's newest, best store.

Keith Morris

I find it particularly amusing -- and frustrating on behalf of the pioneers who have been selling online for years -- that brick-and-mortar guys who announce the opening of their e-store see a huge one-day run-up. Of course, patience brings rewards, and most of those one-day wonders have returned to more normal prices.

Kate Delhagen

[While Parker publishes its guarantee on its Web site and in product material, not all companies do. If a store does not say in advance what it will guarantee,] then you should find out, ... Part of being a good consumer is being an active consumer and asking questions and finding out what are your rights.

Robert Spector

Depending on the meal, we spend anywhere from $6 to $12 per person. We fit in the shopping when we can, but sometimes we'll get a call while we're shopping, so we have to leave everything in the cart at the store and just go.

Capt. Roger Boone

For Sony to succeed, they're going to have to come up with as compelling a link between the store and the device as Apple has.

Michael Mcguire

Consumers were not in the holiday spirit up until the last week of the holiday season, when there was a mad rush for the store. And the big unknown is the result of that game of chicken, where shoppers waited until the last minute to get the best bargains and retailers held off.

Bill Dreher

It sounds like to me it's a secondhand store.

Joanne Wheeler

You can work on your driveway. You just can't store things on your driveway.

Dan May

It's a matter of walking down different aisles in the grocery store.

Dale Burshtein

Although the plan represents significant new indebtedness on the part of the company, we believe that the cash flow from our Cracker Barrel Old County Store concept will continue to be strong and more than sufficient to service the debt and finance ... continued expansion.

Michael Woodhouse

Best Buy's authority in consumer electronics, our deep product assortments and outstanding store experience continue to make the difference with customers.

Brian Dunn

The store was a major breakthrough for us. If the area can support locally raised meat and local beef, then that opens up all new possibilities for Carson Valley Ranchers.

Christina Smith

We say we want fresh, but the truth of the matter is, to deal with fresh, it takes over your life. You have to prepare it, store it . . . and then you'll probably throw it away anyhow.

Harry Balzer

I think the team has a great deal of potential. But with only a handful of practices left this season, it will be tough for us to reach that potential this year. But again, I see a lot of good things in store for the team next year.

Paul Testa

It is a lucky place, and as far as I'm concerned, they can make the claim of being a lucky store. I think they are extremely lucky, and if I were there and I could, I would buy a ticket there.

Alfred Bea

The packaging error was detected during a store inspection process.

Anne Hendricks

The person determined to achieve maximum success learns the principle that progress is made one step at a time. A house is built one brick at a time. Football games are won a play at a time. A department store grows bigger one customer at a time. Every big accomplishment is a series of little accomplishments.

David Joseph Schwartz

For the guy that's doing the weekends, this girl could bump into him walking down the road or going to the store.

Frances Murphy

Midyear last year, we really woke up to this and shifted our strategy. For years, we were quite focused on ourselves. The ads were set in the store environment and featured our associates. For a certain segment of the population, that was effective advertising.

Stephen Quinn

I used to work at a big retail store working customer service. There wasn't a personable type of feeling that you get here. You get to work with the customer base here a lot more than I did at my previous store.

Jon Michaud

Fortunately, not everything was higher at the grocery store. Consumers in Missouri found lower prices for flour, bread and eggs, while prices were unchanged from the last quarter for vegetable oil and mayonnaise.

Diane Olson

The nature of the store, it's very small. We want a one-on-one relationship with our customers.

Mandy Ohman

Once they sold the credit-card business, what was left was the store chain, which is not particularly impressive.

Gavin Graham

Maybe the shoe store is going to be hurt, but that's business.

Terry Hilton

What we found was that there were other grocery store chains who had the same need.

John Carrico

They've got the whole gambit of the required transport available to offer the total solution. You can start from Asia all the way in to the ports and then onto the store shelf.

Steve Marsh

Our New York flagship store is staffed and open for business.

Mark Aaron

A merchant's association will give us the ability to deal with one group rather than trying to deal with each store individually, which took a couple of weeks.

Bruce Cunningham

Yeah, they're real nice guys, and they have awesome stuff in the store. They even let us use their ramp.

Joe Carter

We need about 5,000 square feet to keep this project going. We can get the furniture, and we can give it away. We just need a place to store it in the process.

Jan King

With the real estate property and valuations continually increasing in that area we just can't continue to operate that kind of retail store. We weren't able to secure another lease that was acceptable to us and acceptable to the owners.

The numbers are there. They're seeing better comps (comparable-store sales). They are resetting the aisles, or just repositioning some of the product, and they're getting more competitive from a pricing point of view. But it's still a challenge. It's a very competitive environment for them.

I think it's great, ... It shows the product in a very elegant, beautiful way. My favorite [detail] is the staircase. I'm mad for the staircase because of the proportions, the materials used, the virtual waterfall and all that. Marino reinvented [the store] in a modern way.
