It does seem very odd to have two [House of Fraser] stores at either end of Princes Street. There is an argument that says customers don't shop in a linear pattern along Princes Street, but you would still aim to concentrate on one good store, rather than two. The current set-up is very strange indeed.
Leigh Sparks
We have seven suburban New York stores that people can go to if they can't get to the Manhattan location.
Mark Aaron
I remember seeing shelves at grocery stores empty when my mother sent me to the store.
Roland Mesnier
Don't forget to stop by our downtown stores. The stores will have extended hours for 'Taste'.
Connie Tabor
We are not changing direction we will continue to move full-steam ahead with our core business, which is Blockbuster stores and Blockbuster online.
John Antioco
The ability to demonstrate broadband in our stores and show customers end-to-end connectivity solutions with Microsoft technology allows us to strengthen our customer acquisition strategy.
Leonard Roberts
We do not discuss security issues at our stores.
Amanda Tate
I do not like the big stores. In this store, there is not so much hustle and bustle.
Betty Arnold
The first-quarter comparable stores sales growth was slightly ahead of our expectations, with sales exceeding our outlook early in the quarter, but softening during the final month.
W. Alan Mccollough
Most of our new banking stores are located in fast-growing areas.
Gerrit Van Huisstede
We're so excited to serve customers here in Fayetteville and the surrounding communities, ... With the store's updated design, great merchandise assortment, services and our remarkable team of associates, we will be able to provide an outstanding and even more convenient shopping experience for our customers. We're inviting everyone to come and celebrate with us.
Charles Fuller
While the closure of the Texas stores results in an impairment charge, it does set the stage for fundamentally improving our Texas operations, ... The competitive environment has softened over the last couple of quarters, which has allowed us to improve our sales in that environment despite carrying these underperforming stores.
Steve Burd
We have everything for the home under one roof. We intend our stores to sell only our products. That contributes to our uniqueness.
Joseph Roth
When I started collecting, it was a lot harder. You could get comics at newsstands or grocery stores maybe, but if you missed an issue, your best chance was to send away to the dealers in New York who advertised in the back of the comics.
John Hitchcock
Green coffee stores up to three years. It does not deteriorate and can be kept until the price is right for trading the stocks. It's a matter of money.
Alistair Macnab
We're not even getting the $10-an-hour jobs. We're still putting an emphasis on retail stores. They don't provide living wages for families.
Bob Schmidt
You will see your store being transformed as you shop. It's like 'Extreme Makeover' for grocery stores. It'll have a warmer look, more inviting and will make shopping easier.
Jeff Lowrance
They had it in the stores in Vancouver for a while, and they were hoping it was going to catch on, but it sold a few and then didn't. They still play it in Vancouver every Christmas, the radio stations, as a tribute I guess.
Tom Thurston
We will evaluate each store beginning in mid-May for the market area and customer demand before making a decision of which stores to reopen as a Peebles.
Bob Aronson
The stacks of mail are piling in by the moment. It's great to see that those interested in being able to sell lottery tickets range from national chain retail stores and gas stations to individually owned general stores at every corner of the state.
Tom Shaheen
I just got the retail box that has our David software in it. This box is in all the software stores in Japan and Amazon.com . We will soon be all over China and Korea.
Fred Lewis
But it's really about the Bensonhurst I knew growing up in the '60s and '70s. The Bensonhurst where the little old Italian ladies went out with their cart and shopped at seven stores along Bath Ave.
Steve Schirripa
We put this holiday issue out earlier than usual, but it was still in our stores for six weeks. The quarterlies usually stay in stores for between six to eight weeks. Honestly, we would have kept this issue in stores longer if we weren't launching the perfume.
Hampton Carney
We will be closing 73 Toys ?R' Us stores in the United States only. This does not affect our international stores or Babies ?R' Us stores. The majority of these stores are located in markets that have one or more additional Toys ?R' Us locations. There are also 12 additional Toys ?R' Us stores that are converting to Babies ?R' Us stores beginning this spring.
Kathleen Waugh
Penney offered a benign set of comments about Eckerd. While its department stores are doing a little better, Eckerd is deteriorating. The speculation is that Penney's first choice is to sell its drugstore business.
Jeffrey Klinefelter
Stores are open and the sales are being made and food's being distributed.
Andrew Cole
We have 365 stores in six northeastern states and each of those stores has a demonstrated commitment to the local area. This is just an example of what we do to help out, and the two pharmacists here are doing a great job.
Robert Keane
Pier 1 needs to fix the problem with its merchandise. Fewer people are going into their stores because they're not selling anything different.
Anthony Chukumba
They'll have trouble filling the stores that you go to get your soda.
Bob Gillespie
We have a big opportunity in China, ... We think the number of stores here can rival the number in North America.
Howard Schultz
Instead of opening a lot of new stores, we're refurbishing existing stores. Some of these stores are 20 years old.
Nino Rotondi
What you're seeing is that some retailers are getting back to normal, but the weakness seems pretty widespread among department stores. So it's still an extremely fragile environment.
Michael Niemira
We empower our associates to determine the best ways for our stores, SAM's Clubs and distribution centers to be involved locally.
Roderick Scott
Under current circumstances, it will be very easy for retailers to widen their margins, and many of them are already adding more floor space in stores, which will help boost growth.
Du Plessis
There's nothing definite yet. Of course, any time you have a book, there's going to be book signings and stuff. We'll do bookstores that handle both audio and video. And some of the stores want to have the CDs available at the same time. So that part looks real good.
Scotty Moore
Customers have been very excited about bloom because it does offer a uniqueness that they may not find in traditional grocery stores, and it has been designed with customers in mind. Two years of international research took place before the concept of bloom was introduced in Charlotte.
Karen Peterson
They are doing so much building around here, and we do interior design and custom furniture. There are a lot more architecture and design firms, and a little bit more clean-lined furniture stores, so we thought that our aesthetic would work well here.
Shannon Michelle
There's quite a lot of promotional activity out there, more than last year. Retailers are desperate to maximize their footfall and recognize that in order to do that they need to give people a significant incentive to come into their stores.
Richard Hyman
People leaving New Orleans were going north to find better conditions. They weren't getting any help there, but we weren't either. So, basically they took it upon themselves to help themselves by robbing stores and people.
Ruth Hancock
There's a reason why people go to stores. It's for good old-fashioned customer service that involves human interaction. We seem to be getting away from that somehow.
Harry Friedman
I think Toys R Us will continue to run some kind of toy operation in the future. But in order to still be competitive, it will need to slim down considerably and run probably around 450 to 500 stores.
Jim Silver
This is a company that has had problems being disciplined every day, on perishables, on advertised merchandise, on neatness in stores, on service. They don't have a pristine track record. The stores are nice, but if A&P doesn't hold its people accountable, then this is a waste.
Meredith Adler
They changed the organic game. You used to only be able to get fresh organic products in small stores supplied by an independent farmer. Earthbound ships train loads and plane loads.
Bob Scowcroft
We will have our Christmas set-up in stores by early September.
Ursula Moran
I have many customers who come once a month or even once a year, and they want the ice cream closer. We get calls from people every day asking us if we sell in stores near them.
Jason Street
We pay close attention to what things are selling for new in the big box stores. Rule of thumb, things are going to be priced at about 60 percent of what they are selling for now.
Merle Clark
I have memories - but only a fool stores his past in the future.
David Gerrold
Kohl?s is your main candidate. They?re expanding, have made deals in Eugene and have stores under construction in Gresham and Washington County.
Chuck Martinez
This store's got some cool and unique stuff.
William Glenn
I think they will reach their guidance. It will depend on the fourth quarter and the performance of the Real (food) stores.
Christian Schindler
Grocery stores have a very important role in making a neighborhood in an urban place, ... But a lot has to do with which grocery store. If it's a downscale chain, people get nervous.
Peter Katz
The company's objective during its real estate review... is to identify underperforming stores and close or move them to new, more productive locations.
Michael Feuer
Drive-up stores represent the next generation for McDonald's in China.
Jeffrey Schwartz
The May contribution is going to be very substantial because of the in-house brands, displays, and ambience of the stores.
Kurt Barnard
HARBOR, n. A place where ships taking shelter from stores are exposed to the fury of the customs.
Ambrose Bierce
While day by day the overzealous student stores up facts for future use, he who has learned to trust nature finds need for ever fewer external directions. He will discard formula after formula, until he reaches the conclusion: Let nature take its cou.
Larry Bird
If we go up and grocery stores go up and clothing stores go up, gas is high right now -- everything's expensive. I don't know how we're going to withstand that. It's gonna be hard.
Chris Bryant
Mayflower Food Stores also donated a number of grocery bags to be given away as door prizes.
Tony Cooper
An awful lot of negotiation occurs ahead of time, and in the overwhelming number of cases either there is no problem to begin with, or the problem gets settled through negotiation or an agreement that a certain number of stores or branches get sold off.
Lawrence White
We're very excited about this partnership. We know our customers will be thrilled with the ability to enjoy a freshly brewed espresso or cappuccino while they shop at our stores.
Bill Cummings
What's really exciting is to see the continued sales growth we're seeing at our stores. Many have improved sales by 25 percent in a year. And with more exposure, January started off at an even faster pace than that.
Rodney Anderson
Customers have told us they want the fashion and affordable luxury they find in Macy's stores. With this expanded geographic coverage, we now will be positioned to nationally advertise the Macy's brand.
Terry Lundgren
For every Wal-Mart store opening, we have a number of grants that our stores give to their local neighborhood charities and organizations.
Melissa O'brien
It's virtually impossible for small businesses to produce goods in America inexpensively enough to sell to big box retailers. It's a big issue affecting a lot of people, and it's a really challenging one. I mean, we all shop at these stores.
Gregg Spiridellis
The new concept for department stores and specialty stores has to be a smaller footprint, shopping carts, a 'spoke and wheel' layout where an inner circle leads to an outer circle instead of the tiresome grid layouts, and central checkout systems, ... Federated is making similar changes, by introducing a checkout counter for every seven departments within a store.
John Gifford
This is a company that came from Rochester, N.Y., ... It's not like they came from New York City or some sophisticated place. A lot of their stores are in middle-of-the-road places. In the past five or six years, they've realized if they can get a combination of density -- a lot of people -- and income, that that's where they shine.
Neil Stern
Personally, I don't see video stores being around five years from now, a lot of them. You can now start downloading movies from the Internet, when they are coming out the same day on DVD.
Mike Craig
Basically, if you promoted heavily during the Thanksgiving weekend, you did well. If you're willing to be aggressive on price and promotion, you can attract traffic into the stores.
Michael Exstein
Wal-Mart will not have its own bank branches inside our stores or outside of them.
Jane Thompson
They don't have enough promotional inventories in the stores. They'll only be selling full-price and they're already giving out warnings of negative same-store sales declines in February.
Dana L. Telsey
We're not necessarily interested in just trying to start up any old co-op here. They're just spectacular stores.
Jeff Wheeler
We don't conduct random sweeps. Our actions are carefully planned. We know who we are targeting and why. We don't wait at playgrounds or have checkpoints in grocery stores. We don't lie in wait and swoop down on people.
Lori Haley
We build the larger stores because that is what the customers are looking for.
Glen Wilkins
The casino stores just put so much attention into in-store displays and making sure that they get the customer in. We come to Vegas when we need to get some new ideas.
Georgeanne Bender
We've actually used self-checkout to draw us closer to our customers in the stores. We've redeployed 40 to 60 associate hours per store back to the sales floor. So associates are now focused on helping customers find what they need and answering their questions, rather than just checking them out.
Paula Smith
Homeowners that were expecting quick turnover in their property will no doubt be forced to hold on to it longer. This slowdown in housing will have an effect on other areas of the economy, such as sales of furniture, appliances and home improvement stores.
Chris Mccarty
One of the things I like the most in New Orleans are the old buildings, and the real funky little things the old stores. And they are gradually crumbling, and so I photographed them because they appealed to me. Some of these old places may still be intact, but I don't know which ones.
Barbara Roberts
In the circumstances our stores appear to have fared relatively better than others.
Philip Dunne
The stores we are closing are not performing to consistent levels required by our business model and are located in no-growth or rural markets that have either matured or never reached their projected potential from a housing start perspective.
Maggie Hardy Magerko
This area was previously a hotel and after an arson incident a few years ago, (they) had the idea to reconstruct and open new stores.
Michael Egan
Our spring quarterly will be back in stores mid-January and everyone will see that there's no change in our editorial policy. We will still have butts and partial nudity.
Hampton Carney
Food is what?s driving front-end profitability and same-store sales. A dollar of front end revenue is more profitable than a dollar of prescription revenue due to capped margins. There?s still a lot of upside potential but, frankly, the drug stores have to develop a more compelling front end offering.
Jim Hertel
You either get 60 stores, or you get nothing. We are still finding individual stores, but not like we used to. We're limited.
Louise Driver
He's always positive. He's always pumping us up after we come off the field. He tells us stores about all different players. He tells us that hard work is how Jeremy Thornburg got to where he is.
Martel Strange
I think the Gap had to come up with something new. It's possible they're trying to target the baby boomers next. Old Navy has been driving growth for the Gap Inc. but it's starting to slow. Its namesake Gap stores are facing market saturation, and the higher-priced Banana Republic brand is a niche concept. Banana Republic has been doing great but there's a limited opportunity to expand it further.
Joseph Beaulieu
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
...Half of its task is getting people in the stores on a more frequent basis.
Jeff Stinson
The bigger boys have the edge. You can only be in one place at one time. Other bands that have that big record label support have the promotional stuff taken care of. They're on the radio and have albums in the stores. It's about having that presence in a city without actually being there.
Tim Convy
The stores give consumers the opportunity to see first-hand our wide array of product offerings. Each store enables us interact directly with individual consumers to educate them about our products and services, and help them understand how Sony?s technologies can enhance their lives.
Dennis Syracuse
Those looks will still be in for this spring, but the bohemian look is also going to very big, with wooden jewelry, wedge sandals and long, loose fitting clothing. Look for the 1960s mod look to start showing up in stores as well. The big sunglasses, the mini skirts and big, bold jewelry all are part of mod style.
Jennifer Bennett
We totally failed on the software applications for it. It went to the stores and everything that sold as the hottest newest thing came back. It didn't work. It wouldn't even turn on anymore.
Steve Wozniak
Like many businesses in the community, the Home Depot maintains a policy of non-solicitation at its stores by individuals and organizations not affiliated with our company. In the interest of safety and convenience, our policy prohibits people from loitering or otherwise creating or causing safety risks to our associates and customers.
Yancey Casey
We worked the factory in Korea to make the 2006 Rio even better for the money, ... And with the recent spike in gas prices, we've seen a 20 per cent increase in traffic in our stores in the past weeks which is very encouraging.
Bill Porter
I think it's a bit ho-hum. It's not a bad number, but if you open stores at 5 in the morning and give away free breakfasts and 4.3% is all you can do, in the most aggressive [day-after-Thanksgiving] campaign ever mounted by anyone, I think it says that the consumer doesn't have the money to spend.
Mark Husson
What stores are around, what stores aren't around, what advertisers want to present as an ideal woman or man, passing prejudices, things that you would never say now that you could say then.
David Remnick
The idea is to maximize dollars and maximize the number of tickets sold. You maximize dollars for highly desirable games, and offer value to attract people to games they might otherwise not attend. Variable pricing is an idea that comes from the real world -- airlines, department stores. It's not an idea that sports invented. Sports has come to quite late to the party.
Stan Kasten
The city has lots of stores that sell it, and it sells well.
Jerry King
We can't put enough stores in Florida right now.
Maggie Hardy Magerko
Giant does not have a formal pandemic preparedness plan. The feeling is that we have enough employees -- we have over 25,000 employees. If the need arose, we could move these employees around quite a bit to wherever the greatest operational need within the company would be to keep our stores open.
Jamie Miller
We plan to open 11 this year. Customers like to be able to get a coffee or tea while they are in our stores.
Terry O'neil
It's no secret that these businesses face the daily challenge of competing against the growing presence of shopping malls, big box stores and franchise establishments, each with their deep pockets for marketing and advertising.
Matt Mclaughlin
These are very expensive stores to build out. They have fireplaces and look like hunting lodges. That's part of the genius of Starbucks. It builds comfortable environments that don't break the bank.
Gerry Khermouch
Department stores during the New Year holiday looked quite busy, reflecting the recovery in consumer spending. Companies that sell high- quality goods, such as Isetan, are good picks.
Hideo Arimura
We've been able to set an atmosphere where we can get pole signs or sandwich board signs that will help entice visitors into stores in the area being affected by Beach Walk.
Sheila Cole
They are doing things new and different with their product and applications. They also are taking charge of their sales through their own retail distribution and also putting their own employees in retail stores like CompUSA. So it's like taking charge of their destiny on the sales floor. But across the board in the broad PC space, we're very cautious right now.
Brett Miller
We will continue the hiring process until the facility starts operating at full capacity. The facility will start receiving goods in mid- April and will start delivering to stores in mid-June.
Mike Deangelis
We hope to transition as many as possible to new stores, but employees we are unable to place will receive a severance package based on their tenure with the company.
Jessica Study
We had gone to other stores like this and thought it would be a good idea. The legwork on it took a long time. Probably the hardest besides finding the building that was zoned right was finding the product. Once we found it, it just fell into place.
Sharon Dalton
I applied for the job. They had three stores and they were shocked! They said that I was a little over qualified, but they hired me anyway.
Clive Cussler
What you're going to start seeing is the infrastructure the roads, doctor's offices and stores come next.
Glenn Martin
It's people building houses, ... It's people financing the building of houses. It's people working in the stores that are furnishing those houses, and of course, the real estate agents who are making this all happen.
Christopher Thornberg
It gets people out of their homes and closer to stores. You would think it would boost sales.
Frank Badillo
We did end up evacuating the whole mall because the stores that stayed open, nobody was coming in, so mall management decided to go ahead and close it.
Tim Holman
We want our customers leaving our stores feeling better than when they walked in the door, and feeling good about themselves and the choices they've made.
Paul Clayton
We currently have six full-time dedicated persons to Spanish, and our own marketing person as well. We work with distributors but also work very much directly with stores, ensuring that we get placement for Spanish product.
Larry Downs
What Point does is they target particular brands into particular age groups or economic groups. They watch the development of their stores carefully.
Lynette Schroeder
However, in the future, IKEA will keep an expansion speed of opening one or two stores each year.
Brian Duffy
Today, they spend far more money plastering convenience stores with their imagery, paying convenience store owners to put cigarettes near where kids will see them.
Matt Myers
It's all about hauling distances, ... It's like your grocery stores. Do you go to the one in Lexington if you live in Pikeville?
Steve Lawson
If it's a good tourism season, there'll be some hiring done at our stores. Tourism drives (hiring) to a larger degree, so yes, we will be doing some hiring for the summer.
Anne Roman
That means that it can be a challenge for small specialty stores. I just feel for the small business person because they do it 24-7. That is very strenuous and takes its toll on family life and personal life.
Marianne Virgili
They have a lot of Lord & Taylor and Macy's stores in many of the same locations. It makes a lot of sense [to sell]. They had a lot of overlap. They're focusing on building their brands and building distribution and trying to avoid competing with themselves.
Ivan Feinseth
They are the only player that has deep pockets to expand. It takes a lot of money to operate new stores, and Lipton at least has it.
Patrick Gallagher
We want our stores to reflect the communities they serve.
Anne Hendricks
It's helpful to have UCD and Sac State in close proximity to our stores. We get great associates from those two schools.
Dennis Lindsay
For me these are pretty good numbers, so well done M&S and well done (CEO) Stuart Rose. Their efforts to focus on the core older customer have clearly borne fruit, that's a customer group that is a lot less recession-exposed. They've been on a mission to de-crowd the stores and the advertising has been good, too.
Rebecca Mcclellan
For years, I made traditional quilts. I taught quilting through the Parks & Recreation (in Brookfield) and quilt stores.
Norma Schlager
Lewis is an operations guy. His real strength: developing stores that appeal to those who aren't the richest people on earth. For Sears Holdings, he needs to find a space between Wal-Mart and Target. I believe he can do it.
Jim Cramer
We need more animation in the stores.
Michael Gould
In a sure sign of its resurgence, most department stores have just finished moving the business off the main floor to the mezzanine or top floor.
Linda Kristiansen
Many grocery stores are open 24 hours, but the pharmacy closes at 7. Consumers are frustrated with that.
Linda Pinney
I think it's quite nicely arranged around our cultural center this year, and I think that's fine. People still will see the stores as they park and walk through downtown, going to and from the festival. There will be plenty of traffic that day. We'll see how it goes this year.
Dick Murphy
We're going to continue looking through the stores for other opportunities.
Nick Montepara
Most people have a perception that comes from five years ago of that dinky little thrift store on the corner. The reality is once people walk into the new stores, it changes their perceptions almost immediately.
Tim O'neal
We're looking at video now from different stores, and his pictures come up several times. So it's possible he's been doing this for a while and just now getting caught.
Daniel Perry
Extending our brand into new channels outside of Starbucks stores is part of our long-term growth strategy. The test market phase of this new product rollout confirmed what we already knew -- Starbucks coffee lovers want this product.
Jim Donald
It is hard to coordinate these different, separate, entities. We are committed to getting the rest of these stores up.
Sarah Clarke
I shop here whenever I can. Anytime you can save a little gas, it's good. It's really neat that we are getting stores out here because we need to spend money in our area.
Susie Gray
This is a way to get them to spend money in your stores.
Thelma Mann
Right now a number of children's stores are in progress- Strasburg Children and Abercrombie Kids.
Karen Hildebrand
We're supporting the national position for a day of rest. Not purchasing anything from stores, not purchasing gasoline.
Jim Delgado
A good economy isn't an automatic fixer for department stores. To attract customers they need to differentiate themselves. They aren't doing that right now.
Scott Krugman
We're confident we'll have enough product in stores. We've taken inventory into consideration when rolling this out.
Randy Hargrove
There were a lot of customers who were asking for these departments. They had seen them in other Sam's stores where they traveled and were asking why the store here didn't have them.
Juan Jimenez
Every year we see our prescription sales increase ... up to 63 percent of our sales now. At the same time, people are living longer, well into their 80s and approaching 100. So we're getting drugstores in place to meet the current demand but also looking ahead 5, 10, 20 years from now to make sure we have stores in place to meet that demand.
Carol Hively
Having our lawyers back in town working will jumpstart the dry cleaners, the drug stores, the gas stations. They need us as customers.
Bill Hines
I have had members of my club make posters as well as flyers to be posted around school. We have been staying after school every Wednesday calling restaurants regarding the wings as well as many stores about the prizes.
Austin Weinerman
We released the fourth book at midnight and we also had a slumber party for the kids and parents at our stores. We could be doing something along those lines for the new Harry Potter book release.
Caroline Brown
We see it every day in our economy. These folks are customers in our stores and employees in our workplace. We hope immigration law gets it figured out.
Ken Anderson
Coles Myer is the only retailer in the world which has tried to combine full-line department stores and supermarkets.
Rick Allert
The message we're trying to send is, you're not going to run back and forth across state lines in different drug stores and elude police that you're manufacturing. We're gonna track you down and you will be arrested.
Cheyenne Albro
The problem with the study is that big-box retailers and online retailers are not within the area studied. Overall, record sales are up more than 8 percent year-to-year (but) sales at independent record stores are down more than 4 percent.
Hank Barry
Toby's intimate knowledge of online retailing will be a tremendous asset as we leverage our growing online businesses to serve our customers and provide a seamless and integrated shopping experience with our stores.
Paul Pressler
Before record stores became Nazi-infested bunkers that were full of people who gave you dirty looks if you picked up a No Doubt record, there was just one section called pop-rock. We all consider it pop-rock because we're playing pop-rock 'n' roll music, which, when it comes right down to it, means catchy songs about girls that you're totally going to be obsessed with.
Ben Clark
If we have a pandemic, stores are going to run out of food. It would be a good idea to have things available.
Arnold Monto
The main impact of North County Fair on Escondido was that it really put it on the modern retail map. It was quite a coup to put six department stores in all at once.
Michael Schuerman
I think what we are seeing in retailing are certain sectors doing better than others. In general, the department stores have not been performing well.
Dorothy Lakner
Most importantly, Jeff started in the stores. There isn't a segment of our business in which Jeff hasn't been intimately involved, and he's a key player in our strategy and operations.
David Bernauer
These stores want to make sure they have a core of customers available in a city before they open. The stores look at median household incomes. If the median income is $80,000 or more, they will probably locate there. If it is $30,000 or less, then it gets tough.
Patrice Duker
The Xbox 360 is pretty much sold out; we're working as hard as we can to get product into the stores as often as we can before the holidays.
Brian Lucas
Stores are figuring out you make more selling a 12-oz. cup of coffee or a 12-oz. bottle of water than you can selling a gallon of gas.
Jeff Lenard
The Onscreen Financial Statement converts data into useful and actionable business information. Managers can identify and assess vulnerable areas for one or all of their stores. It helps them to keep pace with daily business activities and mitigates negatives month-end impacts.
Scott Collins
If you have time to spend, it's good to have different stores to shop at. You can pick up a book or a last-minute gift.
Teresa Jones
Clearly, it's creating trips. There's a lot of people coming to those stores that would have gone to those stores off-mall.
Patrick Smith
Tom Taylor brings decades of company and retail experience to his new role. He has touched virtually every part of company and has in-depth knowledge of stores, products, associates, suppliers and customers. Tom has served in numerous leadership roles that have directly influenced merchandising and marketing efforts.
Bob Nardelli
I sure hope it's not a lack of training, because that says stores don't value the customer anymore. I don't think that's the case. Maybe it's the way this generation of employee is being brought up.
Janet Delaney
The key is to keep them in the stores a little longer. Certainly they're in a turnaround situation. Now they need to move to month-in, month-out having stronger same- store sales and bringing that to the bottom line.
Dan Popowics
We have sold a lot of the legal forms over the years. We had a friend who was a real estate agent and she told us which forms we would need to have, and she was right. People always liked that they could just buy one or two forms. You can't get those at the bigger stores -- they make you buy 25. What does somebody need with 25 power of attorney papers?
Bob Williams
A number of pawn shops and sporting goods stores were hit.
Fred Williams
The four stores opening in March are the first of 14 to 16 new stores Golf Galaxy plans to open this fiscal year.
Randy Zanatta
We have just under 1,000 projects in the pipeline for the U.S. alone, or three years worth of future growth planned. We'll do it through new stores, through acquisitions and by growing sales in our existing stores.
Tom Schoewe
In the U.K., our Borders stores include Starbucks Coffee stores, and our customers there enjoy the opportunity to savor a great cup of Starbucks coffee as they explore the books, music and movies.
Chris Nichols
On the other hand, we have three used-book stores, and they do half their business on the Internet.
Gary Ferguson
Sometimes you just reach a point where stores simply can't make it. That's basically the situation here.
Walt Rubel
[Our retail stores were] PC showrooms before, with workstation displays, ... Now we've gone to a full retail store designed for the way people shop. We built the stores around the concepts of create, manage, knowledge, play, and relax.
Bill Parker
If you start a business with only one or two stores, it's going to be different when you franchise it with 20. It's a lot trickier.
Dave Gavitt
The self-checkout has reduced length of lines by a third and the time spent in lines by a third. We estimate that 30 percent of all sales are made through self-checkout at stores equipped with them.
John Simley
