Their safe haven status would no longer be required. However, industrial inputs, as opposed to stores of wealth, would not suffer as much. And equity markets would benefit from an unwinding of oil prices because the cost implications of existing high oil prices for earnings potential are horrific.
Tony Twine
When you're in a mood to spend money on something that will not further your goal of getting out of debt, ask if you want it or need it - and if you don't, ask if you want it badly enough to further the bad feelings created by being in debt. Try to stay away from the stores, and don't look in the windows.
Gay Abarbanell
We're definitely interested in adding stores. We're looking for opportunities to add convenient, unique and fun shopping experiences where we see demand for our products.
Jay Musolf
Working families appreciate the opportunities they have to shop in our stores and save money.
Bob Mcadam
Axis has seen an increased demand for network video systems in retail environments. The technology integrates easily with many other systems found in retail stores, such as point-of-sale and access control systems, so retailers are able to better manage inventories, loss and fraud.
Ray Mauritsson
There was a market for it, and there were no stores around. So, we saw a specialty and we took it.
Jessica Graeber
It's designed to show the value of our service and certainly to drive traffic to our stores.
Randy Hargrove
In the beginning nobody believed in us, ... I remember the first and second collection we'd call customers, stores and magazines and they'd say 'Who? Dolce who?'
Stefano Gabbana
Gus (her husband) and I had done some country dancing, and I knew there weren't any Western stores nearby.
Lynn Seaberg
Customers are shopping with us. They love our merchandise and the value we offer. They are responding to the enhancements we've made to our stores and our increased marketing and promotional events. This response tells us that our strategy is right on track.
Vanessa Castagna
New growth drivers are more of an issue for Home Depot than Lowe's. Lowe's domestically still has about half the sales of Home Depot. To some extent, Home Depot's growth opportunity is limited in the U.S. where it already has nearly 2,000 stores.
Anthony Chukumba
It's strong, pretty and wearable. And the stores will love it.
Anna Wintour
I think 2006 will be a crucial year for our industry, and there's a lot of optimism and enthusiasm for the change in direction. I think over probably the last 12 to 18 months the manufacturers and all of these stores have realized that direction we've been headed in was probably the wrong one. I think we, collectively, made a decision to change gears.
Kerri Stockholm
Canadian Tire is doing brilliantly. Their big new stores are great, and they are delivering fabulous sales and are well laid out.
John Chamberlain
With the roll-out of Vision Merchandising in Japan, we are confident that our stores will be more profitable, our staff will have the tools to be more productive and more confident in their decisions, and we expect customer satisfaction levels to increase.
John Barron
We look at competitors and see what they're selling and offer it at our stores, ... We do anything we can to get better intelligence on what our customer wants. Our various competitors approach the market in different ways. If there's something that they're doing that's successful, we have no problems copying that.
Marty Heires
It has tremendous impact on the city. Folks that come to the show, they live here for the (duration) of the show. Many of the people stay in the hotels, they shop at our stores.
Mark Wasserman
The Salem store has proven to be too small to display the full range of the product categories our other retail stores carry.
Bill Wells
This time around, there are not only more U.S. stores in Canada, but the Canadian stores appear to have more products than you would find in the U.S..
Hart Hodges
Some farm implement places and feed stores (in cities) do sell sack corn. It's kind of rare, but I think it is catching on.
Jerry Burg
We'll continue to assess the sales, profit and investment on each of our stores, but we do not expect another closing of this size in the near term. In retail you're always reviewing your fleet, making changes to the fleet whether it's closings or openings.
Jack Ferry
We absolutely respect our customers' right to choose what they wish to read and buy and we support the First Amendment. And we absolutely support the rights of Free Inquiry to publish the cartoons. We've just chosen not to carry this particular issue in our stores.
Beth Bingham
Basically the stores make it possible for us to do what we do here. We couldn't do everything we do without the stores.
James Simmons
They really see this as the future of Collier County and they want to get in on the ground floor. We have literally been contacted by hundreds of businesses wanting to open stores, offices, satellite offices and firms.
Blake Gamble
People probably won't use it for product information, but they will use it for services we offer that aren't necessarily offered by other Ace Hardware stores.
Frank Polimene
We spend anywhere from $2,000 to $3,500 each Wednesday on new comic books between both stores.
Greg Bartholomew
With "Batman and Robin," I was opening toy stores in Sydney, Australia. I had awards for selling more "Batman" merchandise than any human being in the world.
Joel Schumacher
There is a huge amount of toy sales that doesn't come from toy stores. So far, their site still isn't great, but investors are wondering what will happen when they get it right.
Seema Williams
They (the stores) don't have to be totally upscale, but we need some better things.
Tom Petersen
There were a couple of mediocre game stores in St. Cloud. I just thought I'd take a chance on St. Cloud being big enough to support a good family game store.
Tom Kaeter
People are not looking at the facts. We have no aspirations to have our own branch in our stores. We've said publicly that we have no intent to branch. We're heading the other way.
Jane Thompson
We also have people who buy laying hens to raise their own eggs. They taste a lot better than the ones you buy in stores.
Bobby Russell
We will cooperate with big brand suppliers, which always have relationships with those small stores.
Jan Blasko
I think it is amazing how much we can pump through this building. We are only 470,000 square feet but have the ability to service 1,100 stores.
Matt Dippold
We tested a wide variety of off-brand inks from many different sources, including office depot, staples, some online retailers, as well as specialty ink stores.
Consumer Reports
I was reading People Magazine, and they were talking about it and how stores can't keep it on the shelves. It's a healthy alternative to the sun, and I wanted to try it.
Deborah Moore
Our segmented stores significantly outperformed the rest of the chain once again in terms of [same]-store sales gain. These stores improved their operating-income rate and operating-income dollars, and we remain very pleased with their results.
Brad Anderson
It's the only chalk that has enough pigment to be put on sidewalk and show up with bright colors. They get a good deal because this chalk is worth $17 in the stores.
Nina Lovill
We are extremely pleased to be working with AND 1 on an exclusive shoe supported by a national ad campaign. Exclusivity, along with the added value of a gift with purchase, continues to help Finish Line differentiate itself in the mall as well as bring additional shoppers into our stores.
Kevin Flynn
Wal-Mart has experienced lots of disasters because they have stores and distribution centers in Florida, and they've figured out how to do it.
Matt Waller
To complement our Best Buy stores over the course of two or three years, the company didn't really market the site, ... It was trying to pay attention to the world around it -- find out what might be possible with the Web site.
John Walden
Americans have a right to know what's in their food, and posting warning signs in grocery stores where these fish are sold is a simple, common-sense solution that fulfills that right.
Jackie Savitz
There are some other paint stores that are great, and they'll mix your paint, but not as close as you want it.
Joseph Hayes
The expansion of the mall will bring about 500 new jobs and the expansion of the mall will allow businesses to strive, Many of the new stores are geared toward college-age students, several of which can be afforded on a students budget.
Steve Winter
Watch out sister, watch out brother, watch our childer while they kill each other with a gun they bought at Wal-Mart discount stores.
Sheryl Crow
When stores sell these aviaries, the customers typically buy a bunch of other stuff, too. They can really load it up with toys, feeders and things like that.
Perry Little
But that's just the trend with malls. Malls lose stores and they gain stores and in 2006 we have some great things happening.
Jana Kuner
It's a one-stop shop for companies to come in and purchase made-in-Montana products for their stores.
Mark Bisom
We have a significant number of stores in the New York area.
Andrew Mastrangelo
Wal-Mart provides movie selections in our stores and online, recognizing that a broad segment of our customer base wants to buy the latest titles. We serve a broad customer base and therefore offer an expansive assortment of movie titles to meet the needs of the diverse consumers that shop our stores.
Jolanda Stewart
Since we have to order things by the case at the restaurant, I tend to shop at the stores, just like everyone else. Many of the greens lend themselves to cooked dishes, not just salads.
Tina Kuehn
It was mainly opportunists and locals, ... We've had a few out of state. They hit convenience stores. We had so much destruction that it was pretty easy pickings. If I have to, I'd stack them in the hall (at the jail). If you loot, you go to jail.
George Payne
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.
Michael Foss
In order for the toy industry to survive, companies will have to deal with Wal-Mart. It has to be understood that Wal-Mart doesn't make deals with everyone who approaches them. Ultimately it's Wal-Mart who chooses who will be in their stores.
Jim Silver
Despite experiencing increased footwear sales in the running category as well as strong sales during the recent Father's Day weekend, overall sales during the months of May and June continued to be disappointing, particularly for the athletic group of retail stores.
Roger Farah
The key thing for us is what happened in the stores.
Bill O'brien
There were some drivers for increasing margins in 2005, including better negotiations with suppliers and higher pricing points in stores. The company made several deep changes in terms of the way we negotiate with suppliers, as well as how pricing in stores, present products...category management issues.
Fernando Tracanella
We continue to be pretty bullish about the trend this holiday season. I didn't see any shopping mall specialty stores that had the kind of traffic we did, ... It's certainly a testament to what the brand stands for.
Richard Schulze
We're actually proposing some (apartment) flats above the stores in the town center. We've really tried to appeal to a large sector of the market.
Bill Bullock
It will mirror the brands we have in the stores for our adult customer. It's really lifestyle-broad and broad in price point, as well.
Caryn Lerner
Sportswear companies Nike and Reebok. Hugo Boss opened two stores last year.
Michael Fernandes
After querying designers and compiling our statistical analysis, we know what direction people are leaning in this season. And with retailers more and more in tune to what their customers need, there is a deliberate attempt to get certain colors into stores.
Leatrice Eiseman
These let you design your own dress based on this season's latest fashion trends for half the price of department stores.
Heidi Zimmerman
Some stores aren't impacted at all, some stores need some more people and some stores will adjust their numbers based on their particular needs.
Chris Brathwaite
Home improvement retailers like Lowe's have large bulky merchandise in our stores and we carry big quantities of these products, as many as 40,000 products.
Chris Ahearn
The Japan business did well. The U.S. did well, in line with the positive reports we've already gotten from high-end department stores that sell jewelry.
Arun Daniel
The chain stores sales data is coming in a little bit weak and oil prices are up. That's positive for the bond market, negative for the economy.
John Spinello
The company has done a good job with their big-box stores, but it's also a good example of a retailer that has done it both ways.
John Chamberlain
H-E-B has not experienced this activity with our customers or employees at any of our stores across the state.
Leslie Lockett
You can't blame the bear. They've probably been hitting those apple orchards for 100 years. Apples are high in sugar and make their way into fat stores. We have several bears who gain weight over the winter.
Carl Lackey
I go up and down Highway 66 here everyday, and I see the remnants of what used to be: The small little hotels, the gas stations, the mom and pop stores, the grocery stores and convenience stores that used to be here 30 years ago, and it hurts. The population is increasing in the area, but everyone drives to Barstow.
Aaron Hammerman
Our plan is always to open in the premier mall across the country, and we will continue this approach as we open at The Shops at La Cantera, ... We have had many guests who have visited our other stores ask us when we will be opening at The Shops at La Cantera. Now we will be able to reach even more of our friends in San Antonio and we are thrilled to be here.
Maxine Clark
The first tackle store to carry our lures was Ken's Sporting Goods in Fayetteville, but we were able to get on with Wal-Mart back when they only had 12 stores and first started having a fishing tackle department. I guess we are one of the oldest of Wal-Mart tackle vendors, but they have been awfully good to us.
Bob Carnes
There is one area where consumers can find big savings and that's on meals. Stores are popping up all over the country that help you prepare a week's worth of meals at once. You buy in bulk, so you save big.
Wally Konrad
We realized better-than-expected results in our licensed businesses and our Gloria Vanderbilt moderate apparel business, as well as our luxury Barneys retail stores.
Peter Boneparth
Some of the upscale retailers and those who sold electronics were way up - some 30 percent. Some of the traditional department stores and low-end department stores may not have even made 5 percent. The week before Christmas may have made the difference for us (in Georgia).
John Heavener
We are using television as a medium to reach the older demographics, the 40-plus market, who still love music but don't have time to hang out in record stores anymore.
Ira Pittelman
Starbucks has learned several lessons in China. One is that it really doesn't need to go after the masses. All it needs is the upper 10 percent of India's booming middle class to support a base of 100 stores and then go from there.
Matthew Difrisco
People should not buy rabbits or chickens from pet stores.
Sean Casey
Costco's search engine is poorly designed and the Web site overall doesn't engage the user. Best Buy's offline stores may perform better, but online the retailer lost out to Circuit City in terms of customer support, visual appeal and the purchase process.
Liz Edison
It will be a big help to me, especially with them closing all the other stores around. I'm disabled and it's hard for me to get all the way across town.
Robert Nicholas
In the last 18 months or so, we've seen a significant shift to the adoption of personal networks or home-based networks used in small retail stores or small offices. Those networks are very inexpensive and very easy to use.
Paul Gallagher
The other stores don't seem to be hit like they are -- there was an attempted break just a week ago, ... I'm not sure if what they sell is more attractive.
Joseph Massey
If you do see some changes, there could be some operating efficiencies and economies of scale that flow through to the consumer via lower prices. But I do believe that they're going to operate the way that these companies have operated. They have very strong stores to begin with?so the consumer shouldn't see too much change at the beginning.
Patrick Schumann
We have been seeing this movement for some time now - our hotels are full, our restaurants, the track is doing great business and not just from locals. We are seeing a lot of people from outside our area coming here. They are shopping in our stores, buying gas at our stations.
Frankie Bertrand
When we came in, we had over 100 orders (from the store's Web site) waiting. Usually, we have maybe 20 Steelers orders.
Marcia Hellman
We bought all the furnishings and accessories for the bungalow before we actually closed on it. We shopped at all the home stores -- Home Goods, Tuesday Morning, Art Van -- as well as flea markets, estate sales and the Salvation Army.
Laryl Morrison
No toy stores here. This flag represents America and makes me proud each time I see it.
Andrew Carroll
We had a record-breaking weekend with nearly half of initial shipments sold, with many stores selling completely out of stock.
Craig Kornblau
Our Victoria's Secret retail stores sell lingerie and beauty products only.
Sara Tervo
Elephants indisputably like booze, especially Asian elephants where we have many reports of them getting into rice-wine stores and drinking the stuff.
Steve Morris
Until evidence of an improvement in Eckerd stores and overall trends, we remain on the sidelines with respect to these shares.
Patricia Baker
What they're proposing is more like a shopping center where people drive up and park near the stores they want to shop and go in through a main door. There seems to be a trend away from the small malls. [Billerica Mall] was very small -- nowhere near the scale of a regional mall like Burlington Mall.
Peter Kennedy
We're disappointed. Ours is an adult-kind of place unlike convenience stores, and it's not an area where people worry about kids playing the games.
Mike Donlin
We have very good local tenants. People know them personally. People say, 'I grew up in Paul's Pancake Parlor.' They're successfully competing with the big chain stores.
Glenn Tremper
Most master bedrooms have too much. They tend to look like furniture stores.
Barb Schwarz
Consumers look around and see (the Home store's) $1,299 sofa and see others for $699 or $799 at other stores and it's a reality check. I find after the hoopla is over, they become retail museums.
C. Britt Beemer
When I first came here in 1992 about half the stores in downtown were empty. Now there is really not a lot of space.
Tom Hurley
When people come to our stores to buy a new PC or new software for their PC, we want to be able to offer them a broad set of choices, immediate availability and a great retail experience. We agree with Microsoft that it's best to do this right -- and in this case it's delivering Windows Vista-based PCs with confidence in January 2007.
Ron Boire
You've seen a general malaise in consumer enthusiasm to shopping at malls, so that's been a contributing factor (to lower department store sales) and there's also a bit of malaise in terms of interest in leading (department store) brands. That might be because department stores are getting a little stale and they lack freshness.
Richard Church
We now have a broader selection of stores and are better able to meet our customers' needs. We are going to continue to add appealing stores here at The Shops at Willow Bend.
Tim Moorehead
Our core business has been really strong. That's to say, just our retail stores grew at 6 percent year over year. And again, this was a depressed quarter. We've actually been 7 percent or more in most quarters and we expect it to be that way during the fall period. That's one of the strongest performances in all of retailing. So our core retailing business remains exceptionally strong.
Thomas G. Stemberg
The future of the music industry is really the ability to recognize that the 14- or 15-year-old today, who is that target audience, is more comfortable today operating off of a computer platform than most of the people who walk into record stores.
Chris Dixon
We must close underperforming, low-volume stores that are draining resources of the company. We will be vigilant with costs and improve performance in a very sustainable way.
Dave Edmondson
The closings are important, but what is more important is the strategic direction they are going to take going forward, ... How are they going to improve profitability at existing stores?
Wayne Hood
We're not going to have any Canadian department stores any more.
Robert Gibson
I think generally that we're pleased to find out that most Wal-Mart stores are carrying emergency contraception, but there's a lot of room for improvement. There needs to be a sufficient supply.
Mira Signer
If you're sitting in a corporate boardroom in one of the other 50 states deciding where to put 100 stores, you want to pick the best 100 places. When I say, 'Lady Lake, Florida,' no one jumps.
Craig Sher
Resale and bargain stores are one of the hottest retail trends today. The more bizarre the better, because it draws people in, sets it apart from anywhere else.
Paul Bensman
Holiday 2000 will be the revenge of the brick and mortars. Battle lines on the Internet are being drawn between the offline brick and mortar stores and the Internet pure plays. Offline giants such as Old Navy, Kmart and Best Buy, all of which had little or no Web presence last year, are poised for extraordinary growth during this holiday season.
Sean Kaldor
We sell to people involved in the sport and they resell to people they play with. In order to keep expanding and growing, we're developing a retail strategy now. Both brands are starting to get into stores, but the bulk of our sales have been direct.
Steve Sutherland
Rochester is definitely our growth vehicle, ... It takes four Casual Male (stores) to get the sales of one Rochester.
David Levin
I got into paying attention to cities and when I moved downtown I would go into stores that were more mom and pop, so I would get to meet the people and talk to them, ... A lot of them pushed me and said I should run for council. Also, a lot of my old bosses said I should get into politics because I seem like a person who would care enough to do what is right.
Robert Wilson
We're secure, we have phones, we have pure water.... We have sewer, we have garbage pickup, we have more and more stores ready to come on line.
Jackie Clarkson
The luxury stores are the ones hitting the home runs and the discount stores are going to end up doing some pretty good numbers, ... I'm very worried that the middle part of the market is not here.
Britt Beemer
We're excited about the other stores being opened and bringing in more business.
Tom Perkins
We expect most will transition to other stores.
Jessica Study
(Grocery stores are) the other half of our growth strategy.
Matt Sheehan
The project had its challenges. Each of the retail stores remained open and operating as faade construction took place. This required significant pre-planning and constant communication.
John Thomas
Traffic in these locations is no longer sufficient to justify investment in these stores. The real estate isn't as prime as it was when the stores opened.
Jessica Study
There are no pet stores that sell 9-foot sharks.
John Hewitt
The shortages in stores will become visible in early September when people are back from holiday and shops start selling the autumn and winter collections.
Ralph Kamphöner
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.
John Glass
We view the additional advertising expense during the quarter as an important investment in building the Circuit City brand. Since our retail stores team held labor expense relatively flat on a dollar basis, we were able to gain significant leverage on our higher level of sales as we continued work to optimize the labor model in our stores.
W. Alan Mccollough
Stores are definitely getting smarter. They're mixing in more sophisticated music.
Georgeanne Bender
We're trying to get less clutter in our stores. We're also replenishing our merchandise faster. When a customer goes into our stores, we want her to find new products that weren't there two weeks ago, ... This will also allow us to sell more products at full price.
Carol Sanger
There's a lot going right with Wal-Mart. They've also done a lot of good things in terms of improving the presentation and the content of the merchandise in their general stores.
Richard Church
The goal was to make sure we had a platform across the stores that was consistent, provided ease of use for customers, and was a platform that would let our owner-operators deploy the system without a lot of hardware and software investment.
William Whitman
I think you're seeing strength in the department stores, but more so than just the department stores, the specialty apparel stores that have a more focused brand.
Steve Kernkraut
The Levi's infrastructure is built to make large deliveries to warehouses or stores, ... It's a much different competency than delivering one pair of jeans to an individual.
Mark Larson
Many of our guests have expressed a need for more time to decide if their purchases are right for themselves or their gift recipients. This change will enable us to satisfy our guests' needs, further enhance our business and prepare our stores for the integration with Macy's this fall.
Frank Guzzetta
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.
Christine Chen
This is not an event that is happening tomorrow. Business is usual at our stores at least until May. That's when people will begin to see special sales activities.
Wendy Dominguez
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
I didn't mind talking about it. It showed there needs to be better security at convenience stores, and to the employees working the third shift an idea that it might happen to them.
Curtis Gray
It's a combination of the location and having the right stores.
Diana Miller
This internal document reveals where, when, and how Wal-Mart will bully its way across the country to open hundreds of new stores. With this in our hands, our committed supporters are now all the more ready to fight back.
Andrew Grossman
At retail, this will provide a more efficient model ... so they'll have more presence and power in the stores.
Peter Arnell
The weakness in the stock price, despite the better-than-expected earnings, is due to the company saying it sees same-store sales (sales at stores open a year or more) in the second quarter rising 2-to-4 percent, when yesterday (Monday), Lowe's said 4-to-6 percent.
Dana L. Telsey
These were all high-volume stores. There was a lot of interest in the property.
Arthur Rhoads
We don't know which stores will be affected.
Cynthia Pearson
Our identical-store sales are the strongest they have been in over four years, ... We gained U.S. market share and our capital investments and lifestyle stores continue to exceed expectations.
Steve Burd
The problem is that consumers are not only online buyers. They buy in multiple channels. We go to stores; we go to the Web site.
Sean Mcgowan
We're leveraging our photo-printing leadership in the home to drive down the cost for retailers and to bring consumers more choice than they've ever had in stores.
Vyomesh Joshi
We believe the announcement is an implicit acknowledgment of lower performance expectations for fiscal 2007. The upside from Eckerd stores is well into the future.
Jim Durran
[Jeff Perry, one of the store's managers, estimated that 2,500 pizzas were prepared and sold on Thursday.] At one time, we had 300 customers inside and 1,000 outside. The parking lot was filled with RVs. Inside, it was like an ant bed had been stirred up and outside, it was like one big old party, ... But we managed to get pizzas to most people.
Jeff Perry
I really can't see us having the need for that. The value proposition we have involves having that level of service in the stores. We invest a lot in hiring knowledgeable employees and training them.
Mike Foley
It's a growth opportunity for Coach. Since we don't go on sale in our stores, it's the only way someone who values Coach can have an opportunity to buy at reduced prices. We target a value-oriented, brand-loyal consumer.
Lew Frankfort
We don't share the exact the number that we shipped. I can tell you that we're going to be in about 3,000 stores nationwide and we're continuing to ship the devices. We're shipping just as fast as we can.
Jodi Sally
Federated (Department Stores) was below plan. Target was well below plan, ... We have enough data to know the month was not good.
Bob Buchanan
Are we surprised women are going to health and beauty stores? No, because that's where they're going offline. Are we surprised men like electronics and computers? No, because that's what they're doing offline.
Peggy O'neill
It is the latest and greatest technology we're going to be seeing hit the stores in the future or is just being launched now. Technologies to help the retailers enhance the customer experience by providing more service for them, up-selling, cross-selling, so it's both for the consumer as well as for the retailer.
Susan Newman
We're trying to reinforce an emotional connection. We're hoping to capture some share from specialty stores with fast fashion that's on-trend and on-time — but at a smart price. It's all about showing our brand as ... a current brand.
Michael Cape
We specialized it to run employee contests in the stores. We encouraged employees to go through the warehouse to find good items for sale on eBay.
Adam Fisher
It's closer to us than other stores, and the prices are decent.
Laura White
We want to make sure the stores have the flexibility to utilize associates in a way that allows them to more efficiently and effectively serve customers.
Chris Brathwaite
It's becoming an alternative to grocery stores and department stores in a lot of ways. It's quite impressive.
David Hartley
We're always pleased when our customers are satisfied with the service they receive in our stores. To be ranked the best for this many years in a row is exceptional.
Maria Brous
Purchasers of ground beef may wish to ask retailers if ground beef at their stores was produced with any of the recalled product.
Margaret Glavin
There's a trend in the grocery business to make things as convenient as possible for the customer. As our families and work habits and schedules change, you're seeing a lot of grocery stores going to what's easiest for the customer.
Vivian King
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
We found Yan isn't a common consumer who turns to the court for help when he is cheated by stores. So he won't be protected by the consumer protection law.
Hu Hairong
This time of year, there are days when the majority of the people who come into our stores are homeowners in search of grilling equipment and supplies.
Jeanette Morrisett
We remain concerned with the company's longer-term positioning, given its choppy sales showing despite significant store-level investment, and its poor return on capital. The majority of its remodeled stores should have yielded their most significant same-store sales impact in 2002, and we see few tangible growth drivers ahead.
Matthew Fassler
All stores will be getting new lighting, paint schemes and new floor finishes within three years. We are developing an overall shopping experience that addresses our customers' aspirations.
John Costello
This ramp-up of openings, which represents the largest store opening program in five years, is in direct response to the enhanced performance we're seeing in new stores opened under our more rigorous site selection process.
Michael Fisher
In last 25 years, Famous Footwear was the most compelling growth vehicle that this corporation had. In 1981, it had 31 stores and now it's national with well over 900 stores. In 25 years, it's contributed more than $300 million in after-tax earnings to shareholders.
Andrew Rosen
We don't want to act big. We like our stores to have that friendly feeling, like they're owned by a couple of guys from the neighborhood.
Todd Bezenah
The greenery, new lights, architecture and promising stores will all be a nice upgrade for the community.
Angel Hernandez
When you think about it, a lot of people have worked at retail at some time in their lives. And even if you haven't, all of us have had funny or frustrating experiences in stores.
Norm Feuti
We plan to be a significant player in the online music retail arena. The online music business has proven to be viable, with analysts predicting steady growth. We are in an enviable position to capture market share due to our ability to leverage the established brands and built-in customer base of Trans World 's retail stores.
Bob Higgins
Never before has the American public had so many organic choices in stores and restaurants. And what better way to celebrate the synergy between the health of our planet and the health of our families in honor of Earth Day.
Kathleen Rogers
