The intent of the board is to certainly stay in the city of Waynesboro with our retail presence. We always hope to be in Waynesboro.

Brent Frank

Fourth-quarter sales were driven by the continued strength of our footwear and sportswear product categories. Outerwear sales were down in the quarter, but not to the degree initially expected, due to healthy outerwear re-orders from U.S. retail customers late in the quarter.

Tim Boyle

There was hope at the time that Linux would really make headway into retail. But then, there was a certain sense of disappointment when Linux didn't really 'take off' from there.

Paula Rosenblum

They bring retail sales tax back into the borders of the city of Tulsa. And, that's what supports the police, supports the fire, supports public education and supports the arts, the more good corporate citizens we have remaining in the city, the more our arts will be supported.

Kathy Taylor

Consumer retailing is moving from primarily physical product to a combination of physical and digital, ... It's really not just limited to the changeover from physical to digital. It's the full breadth of products.

Jim Donio

The Japanese retail industry is totally unique. To be successful, you have to have a thorough knowledge about the market.

Toshifumi Suzuki

This report backs the Reserve Bank remaining on hold ahead. Weakness in retail and transport is being mitigated by a pickup in mining and construction.

Michael Every

It's clear that we've seen some pass-through of raw materials costs to producer prices, but retail inflation is still restrained.

Haseeb Ahmed

People were expecting weak retail sales, they were already in the stocks.

Jim Volk

Our view is that the pharmacy benefit is an extraordinarily good benefit. Many of these drugs cost more than $100 at retail for a month's supply. Virtually all of our members will be paying between $10 and $15.

David Olson

If there is going to be a sector that should be naturally inclined towards online resilience, you would expect it to be the retail sector.

John Earley

But there was good news coming out of last year. Retail sales of Mattel products at our top U.S accounts were up 12 percent, and yearend retail inventories were down 30 percent, positioning us well for 1999.

Jill E. Barad

When you work in retail long enough, you get a vibe off people. We all got that vibe off of him.

Nancy Bray

It's a tough retailing environment.  The real question is have they been able to pull back a bit on the cost structure? ... Can we read enough into this quarter to gain enough confidence to expect they will break even in the fourth quarter?

Arthur Newman

We're not going to have, post-9-11, at this location, retail uses.

Richard Redniss

Lee County is perhaps a spectacular example of a backward market. In most markets, jobs come first and then housing. In Florida and particularly Lee County, the retirees come first and then the jobs and retail.

Alan Hunter

I think it reflects that there is a commitment to online advertising, there is a recognition that is part of a long-term retail strategy.

Jeff Lanctot

There's particular opportunity through 90-day prescription refill programs. If a patient can get it at a retail pharmacy rather than through the mail, that offers another opportunity to convert the patient to a generic when available.

Michael Polzin

Warm weather and a post-December rebound in new activity will likely boost construction payrolls. Retail employment should also enjoy a post-holiday boost.

Joseph Abate

From a retail standpoint, it is really no different.

Neil Frazee

We're going to develop a variety of options that will mix commercial and retail space on the site -- that is, move away from to some degree, the 11 million square feet of commercial space and the half million square feet of retail space that was in the original plan.

Roland Betts

Although retail sales continue to be softer than we'd hoped, we continue to be very pleased with the growth of TurboTax Online.

Brad Henske

Retail banks are the best way to play the improving consumer environment, and investment banks have been performing well on the back of a strong market.

Michael Joynson

If we're going to open up downtown, open it up. With two-way streets, there's flexibility of traffic patterns. It creates an environment in the center city for renewal of retail.

Bill Blaydes

These places are clean, have nice glass display cases, and look like your typical retail store. They want people to be comfortable going in there.

Jeffery Dabbs

The daytime workers will all help [restaurant and retail] business owners.

Tom Keating

Retail sales were soft, energy prices were high and the disasters affected people in the Southeast.

Judy Mendenhall

As the cost of gasoline continues to remain high, you're going to get pressure on people's choices...and the retail numbers that we saw after Thanksgiving weren't bad, but they weren't good.

Bernie Myszkowski

Those are the type of retail tenants we work with.

Craig Cole

The economics of online retailing are very different from those of store retailing -- online customers complete their own transactions and therefore, not only expect to receive, but are entitled to receive direct-from-warehouse pricing.

Steve Riggio

We continually evaluate our distribution network looking at changing market conditions, retail development and customers' banking habits.

Diane Wagner

New York is the one place in America where discount retailing is really underdeveloped. The major chains have only really gotten there in the last four to five years.

George Rosenbaum

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

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

Our ability to attract retailers has gone away. We have gone from being a regional retail center to a local retail center.

Bob Long

To date, the increasing affordability of our key product categories and the strength of our retail team have enabled us to grow our business despite macro-economic factors such as rising gas prices.

Brad Anderson

In a challenging retail environment, I am pleased to report our first year with net earnings in excess of $6 billion and our first-ever quarter with earnings over $2 billion.

Lee Scott

This is set up perfectly for retail - some day. With that said, we would be doing a service, not a disservice.

Brian Blair

We wanted to extend the Smith & Hawken brand into our existing channels of retail. That's exactly what we're doing with the Target transaction. Target makes great use of brands, and the demographics of their customer base and those who are interested in Smith & Hawken align nicely.

Jim King

The mall is the largest single retail source of tax revenue in the county. Making sure it remains competitive is very important to the economic health of the county.

Gerald E. Connolly

It seems that some of the pressure is off with oil, but you'll still have to look at where we are with regards to Christmas and the retail season.

Bernie Myszkowski

People laugh about that old joke where country music songs are about getting your truck repossessed. Well, I did have my truck repossessed, ... I did leave a good job for a shot at stardom only to end up with a career in retail.

Cowboy Troy

We have adopted a more positive stance in retail and wholesale banking following strong cost containment in 2006.

Nicholas Byrne

We continue to implement our strategy of increased focus on merchandising, better use of technology through our retail information system, and distribution efficiencies.

Jim Keyes

I am very disappointed, ... More jobs mean more people, and that equates to more housing and more retail sales. Stagnation in the local economy means no prosperity. I and many others, particularly Colleen Towns, worked very hard and did an excellent job representing the City of Liberal.

Jack Taylor

With retailing and manufacturing both very weak, the fact that services are slowing is particularly worrying.

Ian Mccafferty

[It's also still difficult to identify the multiple relationships you might have with a customer. Few companies are able to confirm that customers who respond to marketing online and customers who physically buy products through retail outlets might be the same people, for example.] Not many companies know that Joe who visited the company Web .

Dr. Michael Bernstein

You're going to always have volatility in investment banking earnings. But retail generally will be more consistent.

Michael Cleary

There is a lot of money to be had in the trade, ... Per kilogram, sea horses retail for more than the price of silver.

Amanda Vincent

Local market sentiment was also buoyed by overseas investors, who had placed large net buy orders ahead of the market opening today. This helped prompt retail investors here to step up purchases.

Hiroyuki Nakai

If we get a downside surprise in retail sales, everybody will shrug it off. We all know that April was a bad month for the economy; the markets are really geared toward May.

Lara Rhame

There are some pretty flagrant differences on items like clarity and color, which would have a bearing on the retail value.

Darin Kath

The city's sales tax revenues were $900,050 in February. The major reason is due to economic growth and increased retail sales.

Karen Rhodes

Private equity likes retail because of the real estate element. There is plenty of hidden value in the owned and leased real estate in these companies' portfolios.

Bob Filek

In retail, the closer to the street, the more quickly the cycles of renovation.

Paul Muller

Our priorities for 2006 will include completing the transition to a fully competitive retail market in Texas, converting to an open model in our wholesale business, improving the commercial capacity factor of our generating plants and managing our collateral exposure to reduce postings by $1 billion by year-end.

Joel Staff

You need a lot less retail than people think.

Neil Merin

Today, people in loss prevention need to have skills in finance, inventory control, accounting. They really need to understand the retail operations thoroughly.

Paul Lang

Now, it's like, `OK, now who are we gonna get?' One of the major companies that sponsor its retail chain in the garage area can't win a race, so they're ready for the next-best thing and that may be a guy that's got more experience.

Greg Biffle

It's highly desirable for retail outlets.

Kevin Casey

The retail sales number today reinforces the notion that the consumer hasn't fallen apart. Today's market is encouraging from the perspective that there is less of an Enron hangover.

Ned Riley

Kohl?s is now the darling of the limited-line and middle-market type of retail. They?re aggressive and certainly doing a lot in the Portland areas and looking into Eugene. If they?re looking at Eugene you can almost be assured they?re looking at Medford.

Chuck Martinez

It is our hope and expectation that the new housing being introduced into the central business district will soon create a critical mass that will make New Rochelle a much more appealing retail environment.

Mayor Noam Bramson

Investors are going to be looking carefully at ... retail sales for any sign that consumer spending may be slowing.

Kent Engelke

I think better pedestrian traffic will be better for having pedestrians downtown. And, the long range plan calls for that. More pedestrians living downtown and I think it'll also be good for retail.

Jim Hawkins

We're in uncharted waters. This deflation is not cyclical. Our forecasts do not anticipate any major increase in retail price inflation ever again.

Richard Hyman

When this is finished, it will be a beautiful, pedestrian-friendly retail environment. It will have been worth it.

Fred Delk

We expect the recent jump in retail gasoline prices to push down confidence. Optimistic views around the labor market will likely offset some of the gasoline sticker shock.

Drew Matus

Diversifying away from dollars has become desirable -- retail investors returned to the precious metals arena in droves this week.

Jon Nadler

Most likely, in the future there will be more retail access, even though one doesn't need them.

Ivo Welch

The retail sales figures were really soft, much softer than expected.

Joseph Lavorgna

If you're in retail and you can't make money this year, you really should think of doing something else.

Paul Darby

This will not only impact the hotels, it's great for retail, and it's great for restaurants. Everybody gets to enjoy the success.

Scott Sledge

It's a better quality than what they're going to get from the standard retail operation, and they know that. Once people do sleep on our mattresses, that's all they sleep on.

Diane Schrader

A lot of the uncertainty has to do with EFG and it's retail driven. That's caused much of the downturn.

Yasser Hassanein

The company remains the dominant operator in music retail, but its aggressive online promotional stance continues to threaten the company's earnings trajectory.

Matthew Fassler

UBS gets one of the top-flight U.S. high net worth distribution systems. PaineWebber gets a global platform, by which it can continue to pursue its high net worth retail business.

Amy Butte

We will be exploring investment opportunities in other asset types throughout China, including retail, hotel, office and industrial properties.

Michael Pralle

This certainly isn't challenging Intel's retail dominance. What's most significant is that in a market where AMD is able to compete with Intel, it is doing well, extremely well.

Toni Duboise

I would say the market is certainly full in terms of retail, but there are retailers that feel that they need a presence here and they need to compete.

Andrew Dollinger

The economy is still on a fast track, the demand for production materials is robust, and oil prices remain high, which will combine to offset flat retail prices.

Qi Jingmei

I don't know of another retail operation quite like Cadence.

Marc Sani

There's no question that we're going to see continued growth. Tallahassee is still having huge new population shifts, and you're going to see retail follow those shifts.

Rick Mcallister

This merger combines two high quality businesses and will change the face of Russian retailing.

David Noble

They have a very serious concern about who goes into those retail spots.

Matt Bourgeois

When he names Warren Buffett as a model, you've got to believe there are things he has in mind with the cash that he has and the stock price that he has. I would think it's acquisitions. But I can't imagine what he might acquire. It may not be a retail business at all.

George Rosenbaum

The retail operations have to find a way to make money at some point, and if you've got a $1.7 billion in debt, then you've got to generate some pretty good cash flow to service that debt.

John Chamberlain

We've got a record number of calls from interested retail investors and people looking for work.

Brad Bellows

I am confident that top-tier performance is attainable in the near term. The retail bank has improved its performance at a rate faster than expected. Our corporate and specialty finance business continues to grow rapidly and also is performing above plan?We are entering the 21st century on very strong ground.

Robert Gillespie

The large increase in profitability was due to the bank's strong expansion in retail lending, especially in home loans, where National held on to its top rank.

Dimitris Haralambopoulos

Traditional retail models like discounts and coupons can no longer meet the increasingly higher expectations of consumers. Activities like international shows and the countdown are something customers can find interest in, thus having more impulsion to come shopping here.

Cathy W. Hau

Compaq is No. 1 in the retail segment, they're No. 1 in the high end of the business. In the small-business segment, they don't have the same market share they have elsewhere. The key for Compaq is how well they'll execute.

Andrew Neff

Our products are safe and have always been safe, and Ag-Mart stands behind its commitment to its workers, retail customers and consumers.

Leo Bottary

Since the clusters are free of the typical demographic and geographic inputs, they offer advertisers the chance to utilize media consumption insights in developing a marketing campaign for targeted markets as diverse as specific consumer groups, product categories, and even specific retail channels.

Joe Pilotta

The truth is, both counties benefit from those of us who live up here. Butler County gets our property taxes and Platte County gets our retail sales tax.

Bob Earley

In retail we can't really get together at Christmastime, so we make a vacation of this.

Angie Myers

Having some retail experience is key. It really is where the battle is won or lost.

Joseph Abboud

In most instances, the retail location doesn't own the equipment that's operating there. That's owned by a retail operator and there are private contracts between those companies.

Mary Neubauer

The government is just trying to sneak in single brand retail companies. The BJP will therefore oppose every attempt to allow FDI in this key sector.

Prakash Javadekar

The big thing is oil is down to $60 a barrel. It's giving a boost to the rest of the market. We had very strong economic news over the last month and then we had very strong retail sales today. That's powering the market up.

Rick Campagna

This is one of the most negative outlooks in the wholesale and retail sector since the first quarter of 2004. They're going to be very cautious.

Jeff Joerres

The idea is that instead of going to an online retail site ... and buying a physical CD and having it shipped to you, you actually can buy the song and download the song to your computer hard drive.

Gene Hoffman

We planned on lower revenues because we are in the midst of transforming the business in Europe, and in the U.S. some of our retail customers are consolidating.

Phil Marineau

November's unemployment rates were a bit of a mixed bag. We had some gains in retail jobs that were offset by some layoffs in manufacturing, but (the layoffs) were not dramatically reflected in the numbers.

Steve Rogers

With those two new shopping centers in south Lee County, there is a lot of recruitment in the retail industry and anything associated with those centers, including restaurants and the other venues.

Barbara Hartman

That makes it definitely worth watching how bonds are trading. When there are problems at a company, the institutional bond investors tend to figure it out before the rest of the retail market and dump their bonds.

Lincoln Anderson

If you look at the advertisers who frequently use newspapers, it's like a hospital ward. Auto dealers, retail, the airline industry -- it's a pretty weak group.

Les Satlow

Reflecting solid consumer spending, the real estate and retail sectors are likely to lead the improvement in the overall non-manufacturing sector.

Tatsushi Shikano

I would say he's the Michael Jordan of retail. He's done a brilliant job.

Jennifer Black

The Port Authority had put constraints on the builders, I feel, to make sure that we had 11 million square foot of office and retail and a skyline.

Monica Iken

It's clear that Wal-Mart has both a demonstrated appetite to engage in full-servicing banking and has a recent and ongoing track record of expanding the retail banking services it offers.

Art Johnson

He's a brilliant financial engineer. His record is always the same: cut costs, sell assets. That's terrific, only that's no way to run a retail business.

Howard Davidowitz

360Commerce is expected to continue to operate as a mostly sovereign entity inside the Oracle Retail business unit.

Scott Langdoc

The problem with the article is it compared wholesale and retail. That's like comparing a shirt on the rack to the cotton bole as it's harvested in the field. That's a big difference.

Susan Weaver

We are not going to change our financial discipline, and we are not ready to overpay for acquisitions in retail banking.

Daniel Bouton

With oil hitting new highs almost every day, there are a lot of questions about how consumers are being hit at the gas pump. The retail sales numbers will offer some clues.

Todd Salamone

We continue to execute our growth strategy laid out five years ago to enhance our core retail business, extend our business into adjacent areas and expand into new markets.

Robert Nardelli

The impact is very big in a lot of ways. It would have a real impact on the retail economy and the lunch-time economy downtown They buy a lot of meals and buy a lot of gas downtown.

Matt Kennell

They've created significant concentration of market share that they didn't have. We think they made a brilliant decision. It gives them distribution points that they can leverage their retail engine through that would be difficult to replicate.

Richard Speer

This is something that we'll continue to look at and evaluate how to best keep the parking so that it's effective for customers and the retail environment that we are serving.

Donna Farrell

This remains one of the most interesting major retailing case studies in the past 20 years.

Richard Hastings

It's unremarkable, and that's the coolest thing about it. It's hydrogen in a retail environment.

Tim O'leary

We might not see retail sales numbers that are that strong yet, but they will pick up toward the end of the year.

James Carrick

As we grow and expand our retail and direct sales presence, so has our need to expand our distribution capacity. Our distribution facility in the eastern region will allow us to continue to provide the high level of customer service and wide product selection that REI is known for, and will prepare us for future growth, particularly in the east.

Dave Presley

We're very excited to be working with Midway on this title. Midway's extensive North American distribution capabilities should ensure a strong and broad based retail presence for The Lord of the Rings Online.

Jeffrey Anderson

In the last four months, it's happened three times, just out of the blue, so we have a feeling the retail market is ready to be downtown. The retailers are the ones calling.

John Bacon

We believe publishing a list of retail establishments that have received products subject to recall will help consumers more easily determine if they purchased recalled product. The F.S.I.S. currently posts detailed information about recalled products, including pictures when possible, on its web site to help consumers identify products subject to recall.

Richard Raymond

With all the land, all the homes, all the commercial retail, and all the jobs coming to the area, it'd be very irresponsible for us developers to now allow this to happen.

Bob Sanches

Christmas, in retailing terms, is coming later and later each year as consumers play chicken with the high street and delay their spending in the expectation of late price cuts as the big day draws nearer.

Ian Mccafferty

If you need to build a hospital, you're going to build it. But things that are really maybe more spec -- office, retail and things like that -- might be more susceptible to sharpening the pencil to make sense.

Kermit Baker

Whether there are any patterns in wholesale or retail gas prices not explained by crude oil prices and other relevant factors.

The Foundation

I think the retail is just now catching up to the residential.

Scott Barton

In the retail sales, it may be from the gift cards people received during the holiday time frame but didn't use until January.

Karen Rhodes

We believe that SM Prime deserves to trade at a premium, given its dominant position in the retail industry, strong earnings prospects and healthy balance sheet.

Alex Pomento

It's about six more months. A lot of it depends on what the retail activity is and the season -- how much demand there is, whether people are buying products. It seems to fluctuate a little every year, kind of like the weather almost.

Steve Butler

There's no doubt the retail environment is sluggish. It's bordering on awful. The number of bombs that are being dropped in retail, there's no shortage, but I'm getting a little bit hopeful that with each bomb it brings us closer to the end.

Aram Rubinson

It's going to be a very nice retail center.

David Kerr

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

Franz Geiger

Our partnership with Costco is a giant step forward in our strategy to increase retail coverage and charge volume and to expand the number of customers we serve.

David House

I would characterize it as a real growth industry. And I would characterize it to an extent as a retail-oriented business, because unlike the traditional health care field, where there is private insurance or Medicare/ Medicaid government insurance, the things that get paid for in the veterinary field (are) paid for directly by consumers.

Todd Richter

It will be a tricky next six months, I think. There are a few indications that suggest the (retail) market may soften a bit and I think the market is half expecting that.

David Spry

The UK retail scene has been appalling so we are very pleased with the performance. The kids business hasn't been as badly affected as some other sectors, but we've also been driven by strong releases.

Mike Heap

The retail market has been holding onto the outdated concept that people need to touch and feel the jewelry.

Liz Chatelain

The financial targets we originally set for retail in 2003 have become increasingly challenging. Competitive and operating cost pressures have been greater than expected and the turnaround at certain businesses has been slower than planned.

Anders Moberg

We paid retail, which is killing me.

Henry Schleiff

It doesn't seem to matter that this country is swimming in grossly overbuilt retail space. Retailers have become bolder with their requests [for public money].

Greg Leroy

The February drop in retail sales is not a sign that the economy is losing momentum. It is simply a payback for extraordinary numbers in January.

Richard Yamarone

We could lease another 40,000 square feet of national retail space — if we had it.

Mark Rivers

Optimism abounds on the market. Retail investors expect an influx of funds from institutions and the government to lure overseas-listed blue chips back to mainland markets.

Li Zhi

We're very pro gun ownership at the Retail Federation. We just don't think they need to come to work. We love the NRA, but we simply have to do everything we can to stop issue form passing.

Rick Mcallister

More than 500,000 private shareholders in Italy, around 50,000 in Spain, almost 30,000 in France and more than 20,000 in the Netherlands clearly demonstrate that the T-Share is the first real international share for the retail investor.

Ron Sommer

As soon as a few of Huntington's larger car dealerships started moving out to Route 60 in Barboursville to get close to all of the other retail action, it became an incentive for others to move or expand there.

Cal Kent

Our goal is to have parity with the wine industry, not to undermine retail licenses.

Greg Zaccardi

The most important word is patience. We are looking at this as three phases, the theater, the retail area and the housing.

Michael Lombardo

It's a matter of adding just 100-odd points. That should happen anytime. There is a lot of liquidity. Money is coming in from all sources _ retail investors, mutual funds and foreigners.

Pankaj Batra

We're doing a great job with the core retail customer, servicing them with cash products, credit products and investment products. It's working as it's written on the wall.

Jarrett Lilien

If these numbers turn out to be accurate, this appears to be the largest scam of retail investors ever. It certainly eclipses the high-profile boiler-room cases of the early 1990s.

Jacob Zamansky

Management has done a really good job of delivering. Their business mix is still very favorable for where I think incremental growth will be next year, meaning equities, M&A and retail brokerage.

Jeffery Harte

Footwear brands and the retail sector are forced to reflect the cost of the duties in their sales prices. There is no doubt that consumer prices will rise by up to 20 percent if antidumping duties of such magnitude as proposed by the European Commission are imposed.

Horst Widmann

We're having a pretty good time economically, and what that's saying is the consumer is alive and kicking. Retail is a huge factor in our economy.

Cummins Catherwood

The bottom line: Retail prices are going higher on the short term.

Tom Kloza

With the exception of the July burst in auto sales, retail sales growth has been weak in recent months because consumers are now strapped.

Peter Morici

It is not an option. There were no student housing dollars used towards the construction or development of the retail or of the fitness space.

Chris Paladino

We are pleased with retail sales growth in the U.S. market during the second half of the year. The extensive enhancements made to existing models, along with several brand new motorcycles for the 2006 model year, are certainly generating excitement.

Jim Ziemer

The market's always changing, and we intend to watch patterns of gentrification closely; places in which retail space might need to be rejuvenated.

Joseph Reed

We haven't seen retail competition take off here or anywhere around the country.

William Fields

While the latest retail sales reading is disappointing, the picture of a solid consumer remains, with positive growth in the first quarter, despite the boom in fourth-quarter spending.

Melanie Jani

What we will see is that consumers will rely on multiple processes. Retail printing will grow in the short term, but at some point it will level off and decline.

Ron Glaz

The market is very strong. Institutional investors now have a stronger appetite for investing in the real estate market along with retail investors.

Sonny Kalsi

Everybody thinks retail is the way to go, but our research shows there may be a better way to do things.

Aaron Johnson

Our sales results reflect our conscious strategy to reduce our reliance on the less profitable daily rental portion of our fleet business and focus our efforts to grow the retail side of the business.

Marc Comeau

The buyer that makes most sense is the buyer that has a strong presence in the traditional retailing of toys.

Melissa Williams

The momentum has begun toward our goal of a creating a first-class retail destination for Cranberry township.

David Kass

At least 50 to 60 per cent of the trade is retail and they invest with a very short term view.

Bassim Arida

Increased sales of electricity driven by colder weather and customer growth, off-system sales and higher retail electric rates contributed to the improved electric margin. The increase in the consolidated natural gas margin for the quarter was primarily attributable to customer growth and colder weather.

Kevin Marsh

We see slippage in retail construction as a function of increases in energy costs, which cuts into discretionary spending.

Cliff Brewis

Our party's position is clear. We are opposed to FDI in retail sector.

Sitaram Yechury

Would be better served by continuing to hold an ownership position in a pure-play sporting goods retailer rather than a retail conglomerate.

Jack Smith

If you look at retail today, you'll see very little productivity software sold. If you go into a CompUSA store, you'll see very little software, period.

Paul Stannard

In the previous model these solutions were splintered across a number of development centers. We can get cross-visibility; something that's applicable in retail might be applicable in automotive.

Amitabh Ray

The purpose of the Chamber's Retail Merchants Committee is to organize promotional programs and events designed to increase retail business throughout Kirksville and to keep retail shopping dollars within the community.

Alisa Kigar

Despite what everyone says, Detroiters still have a lot of disposable income and Detroit and urban areas have a shortage of retail.

Paul Bensman

New team members could perhaps resurrect the chain to be once again one of the better specialty retail companies.

Margaret Whitfield

We are doing retail and have done retail, already. It's very, very important and emerging.

Jim Hopkins

The big money in the banking business is in collecting retail deposits. They ebb and flow with the interest rate cycles but always provide a deep cushion of money you can use to invest.

John Kanas

For the customers of both companies, joining together means we will be better able to offer value and an improved retail experience, from better assortments and merchandise selections to more competitive pricing and service.

Terry Lundgren

Tony Reed has an impressive track record of fueling the growth and exposure of our brands within the retail community, gaining greater penetration for 4Kids licensed merchandise. We look forward to continuing to benefit from her extensive experience, expertise and commitment as she assumes her new role.

Alfred R. Kahn

Because all the data is accessible through a central portal, we now have far more information available to us about our retail business than ever before. This has led to precision trend analysis while making it easy to control access to confidential information.

Harm Harmenzon

I think the major wave of retail development is ending, and it's time for us to focus on Augusta as a place to live.

Roger Katz

We want to expand where we don't have retail capabilities. (We) want to provide full service to all of our clients across the region.

Mike Strong

We saw some short-covering but also saw some large institutional buying. We saw a little retail buying but still not a rush of retail buying. We need to see more conviction before that happens.

Patrick Murphy

I'm excited to make this announcement as it's a perfect fit for Central Pacific Mortgage. The retail and wholesale divisions' operations and philosophies are almost identical to our organization. It's like a hand fitting into a glove.

John Courson

Retail sales in the metropolitan area are rising faster than the rest of the state.

Rick Harper

The availability of low-cost imports also affects retail prices, which have declined by more than 35 percent since 1997, with much of that decline coming in the last six months. As a result, we are no longer able to make an adequate profit manufacturing bicycles in North America.

Peter Larson

Those who rejected the bid from Philip Green have been vindicated. Despite very tough retail conditions, the management are delivering.

David Cummings

Dave has an outstanding track record of success at Ford, working closely with both the investment community and the dealership community. We believe that Dave's operational, financial management and capital markets expertise, combined with his extensive knowledge of the retail automotive business, make him a perfect fit for Sonic Automotive.

Jeffrey Rachor

It's possible that retail investors are now more interested in taking new positions in booming Japanese shares.

Shuji Sugata

The retail outlook in the country is getting better -- many investors still prefer domestic plays, such as the retail sectors, for their portfolios.

Park Jin

As the company begins to anniversary difficult sales comparisons and investors look to the holiday season, Sharper Image is on a lot of retail investors' radar screen.

Brian Tunick

The fact that O'Reilly posted in-line results makes it unlikely that we will see above-consensus results anywhere else within the auto parts retailing industry.

Cid Wilson
