It is only in a store of this size that we can offer what we want to offer and to differentiate ourselves from our competitors in this changing market.

Brian Duffy

If it's pretty, Jackie picked it out, if it's weird, I picked it out. We enjoy providing a store and service to the people and giving back to the community.

Rick Horne

For the first time in three years we saw an increase in domestic same-store rental revenues and we believe that our combined in-store and online rental offering will allow us to further increase our market share and outperform the domestic rental industry in 2006.

John Antioco

So many people have pumpkins, you can go to every grocery store in the county, some gas stations, farmer's market, some doughnut shops, you name it, ... Last year he had a lot, thousands of pumpkins, but this year he just planted a couple of acres. They just weren't a big deal.

Aaron Lewis

What we did was pull all the body products from the front of the store, the jewelry, throws, all of the candles, everything that was fun and feminine and put it in that room with the harlequin floor.

Cheryl Richburg

Right now, the consistent message we're getting from the gulf region is, please do not send stuff. They have no capacity to store clothing and water, and all that.

Jane Campbell

Every team gets up for a team that's doing well and we didn't respond. We'll have a lot in store for practice.

Amy Govert

I'm very happy with the way the customer traffic moves through the store, in what I consider a smoother fashion. It's a more customer-friendly environment.

Bill Dill

Consumers trust Kodak to deliver the highest quality photo prints and retailers trust Kodak as a partner to build their in-store traffic and photofinishing businesses.

Nicki Zongrone

Conventional surgical robots are the equivalent of a sophisticated racecar compared to your basic family sedan. For some surgeries, you need a complex robot, but for many surgeries you do not. You wouldn't take an Indy racecar to the grocery store.

William Peine

I think we'll have the growth, but I don't think we'll change the charm of the city. If we had a drug store and grocery store it would just make it easier.

Bonnie Hibner

There would simply be too much information for network operators to store all the data. The government has to be practical.

Jeanette Chan

I met her at a toy store. We were talking and I asked her if she could make KISS costumes for a Ken doll. She did such a good job, that I asked if she could make them for people. After a lot of talking into, she agreed.

Shawn Fox

The store is Kathryn. Bright, fun and beautiful.

Maggie Smith

We are pleased with our strong sales performance this quarter. Our U.S.A. comparable toy store sales were up 13 percent for the third quarter and 6 percent for the first nine months.

Michael Goldstein

The more comfortable people feel in your store, the more memorable the experience, the more likely they'll come back. It's one more thing that can add to the overall experience of the store.

Daniel Butler

In the last three weeks, you just could literally walk into any store, get service -- there were no lines -- find a parking space; not today: You can see it's very busy, very active; people aren't afraid to come out and shop and be normal again.

Joe Brown and David Brown

Yeah it was a real good store, I'm gonna miss it.

Rich Herman

The notion that they are worse drivers than I am because they work as a store clerk is ridiculous. The issue is whether these methods are proxy for race, and we think they are.

James Kaster

Realistically, the population is only growing in Avondale. We have an overcrowded store today, and it just gets more and more overcrowded. The problem is only going to get compounded.

Keith Morris

Schools are closed, people are on vacation and returns are being done. This means store credits or cash to burn.

Mark Friedman

In the back of the store, it's a much younger attitude, kind of vintage and hip.

Beth Tunney

We had one lady, ... who relied on an electric scooter when she was outside of her apartment and by the end of the 50 week program she was able to walk to the neighborhood grocery store and back.

Rebecca Johnson

Unlike many other retailers with gas stations we can offer a convenience store that doesn't compete with the 'host' store.

Frank Blake

The sale of gasoline usually doesn't make retailers enough to cover their expenses, ... To stay in business they must have something else going, a car wash or convenience store with a soda fountain, something that will make them a little money.

John Hill

The action to remove the candies from the area store shelves is designed to prevent potential long-term, permanent effects of lead poisoning in children who may consume these products.

Shawn Gerstenberger

Without any limits on the government's eminent domain power, every home, church, or corner store.

Scott Bullock

We are evaluating the community and possible options we may have to further invest in Sturgeon Bay, but at this point we have no immediate plans. I'd like to reiterate we are proud of the store we have there. We like serving our customers in that area. But some of the discussions (by anti-Wal-Mart protesters) are premature.

Roderick Scott

When we needed a manager in another store, she'd go. We could always count on her ? if she could do it, she did it.

Julie Grimm

As we very well know today, fat-free definitely does not mean calorie-free. The result was growing waistlines and mindless eating habits. To prevent history from repeating itself, consumers need to use discretion as they walk through the grocery store.

Sara Murkowski

Some of them are like kids in a candy store. When older people decide that work for pay no longer needs to be a full-time focus, suddenly a whole new world of opportunities opens up for them.

David Delong

Everybody knows the red store on Shore Road.

Sandy Millman

It has the look of the avant-garde, but the heart of a Hollywood production. It's the ultimate expression of business art. ... You leave the theater and they guide you right into the store.

John Lahr

Talk about giving away the store.

Carl Persis

The Internet is gradually becoming more of a standard way to shop. It's convenient to use, especially as people are more confident now of using their credit cards online. Web vendors are giving customers what they want like free shipping or the option to order online and pick up the goods at the store.

David Berkowitz

They're still selling them on the shelves; they're still in the store. This is taking too long, this dangerous toy is out there.

Penny Sweet

The Hermes bag used to be mind-numbing at $6,000. Now, according to several sources, the waiting list is closed for the Birkin. No matter if Oprah couldn't get into that store.

Diane Clehane

We're encouraging people who are going to acquire a pet during the holidays to adopt instead of going to a breeder or a pet store.

Mindi Lasley

When he was in school and worked in the store, I think the interaction between people is really what gained his interest.

Frank Skinner

These three world-class acts underscore how The 2006 JUNO Awards continues to grow in both prestige and popularity as Canada's pre-eminent awards broadcast. Wait until you see what else we have in store!

Susanne Boyce

Despite this mini-surge in spending, the modest gain in same-store sales did not meet early projections.

William Ford

They've never been able to see the whole store. Now we're turning on the lights. Buyers can see home values to avoid overpaying.

Rich Barton

A lot of commercial businesses have glass doors because they are clear (so) you can see through them into the store, but they are also very susceptible to break-ins.

Terry Vickers

I remember when you could drive up to a service window of a liquor store and drive off with a mixed drink in hand. Now we're going to say that no one in a vehicle can have a drink? I think we're going off the other end.

Roy Miller

We think if you're advised not to eat fruits and vegetables in a country when you travel there, why would you want to eat the fruits and vegetables from that same nation if they're on your grocery store shelf in the U.S..

Martha Roberts

If you've never been to the Paper Boat, we have over 100 artists' work on sale in the store.

Faythe Levine

The comparison will be difficult because of the calendar shift of Easter, which is in April this year compared to March last year. That will have a big impact on the March numbers. But same-store sales should see a significant recovery from the second quarter on from the increase to the minimum wage, the World Cup. There will be many drivers.

Fernando Tracanella

This really appeals to a fashion-forward consumer. Our strategy is to become more relevant to customers who are already in the store across more categories.

John Fleming

A dollar a pound? ... You know broccoli rabe is $2.99 in the store, a pound.

Barbara Cook

Our guy was marooned, so he couldn't open the store. So he told the sheriff to just break in and take what they needed. They took 4,000 maps. They tried to return them a couple months later. No way.

Gene Ingle

You can let your stores grow old and tired for a period, but if someone comes in with brand new shiny stores and competitive prices, you'll go out of business quickly. They need to keep themselves up and invest in store upgrades.

Ted Taft

Our theory in the Internet is buy the street, not the store, ... We'd rather own the street instead of just an individual store on the street. And Earthlink certainly fits that bill. And again, relative to the other stocks, it's the cheapest in the group.

Tony Dwyer

We thought Rainier didn't have the traffic to support the store.

Paul Elam

We did a thorough evaluation of every location - looked at terms of the lease, store profits.

Laurie Bauer

She says she can't do both the pageant and the operetta. But she's right across the empty lot at the store. She'll keep a sharp eye out, you can believe.

Ruby Lavender

[The root of gentle discipline, Bailey says, is to verbalize the loving thoughts that lurk behind fear-based statements. Instead of yelling,] Get over here or you'll get lost! ... Stay close to me in the store so I can keep you safe. If something happened to you, I would be sad. I love having you with me.

Becky Bailey

Dorothy raised those children. I had to hustle around to get more stock to fill that store.

Harold Rosenblatt

Everything in this store benefits my kids. Those books go into the classroom. I had a little boy who wanted a book a day for a home library. He could not wait to pick up (another) book.

Barbara Bosser

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

We have over 20,000 different inventory items and getting it [the new store] set up and transferring so much stock out there -- it took time.

Mary Silver

I've got customers that live up in New Bern, and they come through here and they come into my store, ... If they want to come into Jacksonville, they will.

James Kent

Typically, Wal-Mart is not a convenient store to shop, especially if you have want to dash to the store for a handful of products.

Sandy Skrovan

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

I like the idea of being self-sufficient. You didn't have to rely on the store, you had to do it all yourself.

Carol Taylor

Most of the time, they're doing marketing surveys. Like, we sell more batteries in this ZIP code, so we'll stock more at this store. It's not really a bad thing. Where it becomes a problem is when they carry it a little further.

Jay Foley

A bookstore to me is ike a candy store, ... There is not a book I would not want to read at some point. My son is learning to read right now. Watching him get excited how he can discover things through books is pretty phenomenal.

John P. Foley

We combined radio uplinking SPOTs that give us accurate positions and data-logging PATs that store information for the duration of the programmed mission, ... By using two types of tags, we're able to accumulate a larger dataset on the sharks' habitat and preferences with a greater accuracy than we've been able to do before.

Barbara Block

It sounded like a big fight or a riot, ... People began running inside the store, calling 911 on their cell phones.

Brian Watson

Hotel visitors will be able to just walk a block or so to visit the book store or see a movie.

Brian Stebbins

All students have lessons in how to properly handle, store and dispose of the chemicals. They have to pass those lessons before they can even participate in a chemistry lab.

Donna Walker

You just can't open a store and hang out a shingle.

Paul Montgomery

We envisioned it to be the kind of store we'd hang out in if the place wasn't ours.

Scott Morgan

This study of neighborhood conditions is especially important because it has investigated a relatively older population. Older people are much more sensitive to their environment. They rely on aspects of their immediate surroundings--how easy it is to get to the doctor or the grocery store or go for a walk--much more than younger people do.

Mario Schootman

We think stocking the store will be easy.

Cori Skolaski

This is a chance for them to take things they learn in science class and see them in action. Hopefully now they'll have a bit more appreciation going to the grocery store.

Johanna Davis

According to chain store reports non-auto retailers seemed to have fared much better in January than during the holiday season.

Leslie Preston

We will try to create a facility to store information once and use it for more than one project.

Chris Turner

There's a high growth rate and a higher income level, which are reasons why I wanted to open a classier store that handled high-end products.

Doug Mueller

They're not investigations yet, but we're continuing to pursue leads where there's a store front involving these modifications.

Thomas Loeser

I love to watch my kids stand under the tree and munch on (fruit). It's a constant pleasure to see them get past the bumps and spots on the fruit to realize it's as good as -- or better than -- store-bought.

Bill Pullman

We do see an unfavorable impact in the first 12 months in the range of high-single to low double-digit same-store sales.

Cathy Wright

You're a smarter shopper when you go into the store with $30 in your pocket.

Mary Hunt

Our December department store sales were disappointing, which we think is attributable at least in part to heightened consumer concerns over a slowing economy.

James Zimmerman

The moment it was noticed is the moment we took action and said we're not going to allow our servers to be used for people to store information for whatever reason.

Annette Bohling

If he gets his darn store in here, I'll sit and boycott.

Marjorie Jackson

We will do house to house searches to find car bombs because we have information that they want to store them in homes before curfew and then use them in Baghdad.

Bayan Jabor

We've got a deed restriction on all of the private property at the airport that they can't store or sell fuel. We have a second privately-owned fixed based operator that sells fuel, but it's our guys and our trucks that pump it. They only make a commission on the fuel they sell.

Jag Gill

I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.

Shirley Temple

The TIO financial services network is all about providing superior customer service for our convenience store and bill application clients and their customers.

Hamed Shahbazi

It was almost like walking into a department store that had been left alone for decades.

Robin Roberts

We did this with the auction and a 25 percent sale at the store.

Melody Arnold

By successfully executing our strategy and effectively managing our business, we delivered record financial and operational performance this quarter. Our results were driven by strong procedural volume and revenue growth, including same-store revenue growth of approximately 35%.

Craig Joffe

Consumers need to be able to get music in a place that resembles an online version of a music store, where they don't need to know which artist belongs to what label to find the music.

Susan Kevorkian

It's created a logjam. Sometimes our customers have had to wait at the store for a much longer period of time, (while) other times we've asked them to come back later if they could.

Harry Davis

Gap is regaining market share, and its marketing initiatives continue to benefit the company. The company last fall reduced its product assortment by 30 percent at its namesake store and at its Old Navy and Banana Republic divisions. So it's moving away from the overly fashion-forward mix and narrowing its product lines.

Jennifer Black

I am delighted with the continued growth of Ann Summers. Our strategy of investment in the future growth of the company is once again reaping rewards. Despite many retailers trying to jump on the bandwagon, Ann Summers is still the number one store for sexy lingerie and sex toys.

Jacqueline Gold

The Street was hoping for positive comps in Japan, and also some investors were expecting same-store sales growth in the U.S. to be 10 percent or higher.

Stacey Widlitz

Kmart's significant losses and sales decline in the first quarter reflect the many challenges the company faced in the period following our voluntary Chapter 11 filing, ... These challenges included reduced inventory levels as vendors withheld shipments in the early days of the reorganization and reduced store traffic arising from the bankruptcy filing.

James Adamson

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

Eva wears size double zero in real life, ... so we do a very funny scene where she'll freak out in a department store when it's suggested she wear a size zero.

Marc Cherry

We encourage parents and students to find out what specifications the college requires (for a computer), so that we can make sure they walk out of the store with exactly what they need for four years of college.

Amanda Tate

The Spring Break numbers were way down this year and he needs someone to blame. So what he's done is, he's organized African-Americans to picket outside my store.

Paul Politis

The store and warehouse is attached.

Chris Fecera

Clearly, there are some overtones for the industry, but I think largely Wal-Mart has some of its own issues. I think they are still very sloppy with store-level execution.

Bob Buchanan

The whole store is going to be remodeled, with couches and glass doors. It's going to be very boutique-y.

Debra Bramlett

My dad had a store, Phil's Market, on Colfax and King. Somebody would call and say, 'This is Mrs. So-and-so and we need some bread.' And you knew what kind of bread and you put it on the charge and you knew which house and you took it over. We had free delivery . . .

Marc Rosen

I'll just pass up my six-pack and silly little things like that. But it does cut into what you're going to buy at the grocery store because we need to get around. We have to function.

John Diaz

They know my little son rides that bike. He rarely goes down there, but he goes to the store down there.

Greg Baucum

I just filed unemployment today. Hopefully the store will reopen, otherwise I'm going to have to find a new job.

Paul Skinner

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

With this inventory, we are learning that this technology is already being incorporated into our daily lives. It's on store shelves and being sold in every part of the world.

David Rejeski

The first time I went to the grocery store it was crazy. I couldn't read any of the labels because they were all in Danish. I just freaked out for a few minutes. Finally, I just looked at the pictures on the boxes and bought from there. But I did go to the library and learned the language as quickly as a could.

Adrienne Norris

What we had envisioned was to break it down into four or five smaller retail units. Many people have come up and said they would love to see another food store in there. We're not sure, with Wal-Mart and Giant right down the road, if a smaller food chain would want to open.

Pam Martin

We all were carrying our BU track bags, and when we got there, they told us we couldn't bring them into the studio. We had to search for some store that would let us store our bags, and we finally found a fireman who let us put our bags in the firehouse.

Dave Barth

We're forecasting $50 million in volume in 2003. This business drives 2.1 million customer visits a year as customers must come into the store to pick out, pick up, and drop off the tuxedos -- creating an excellent opportunity to drive incremental sales.

Brian Tunick

We need an area with a population of at least 2 million people to support one store. For many years, we were looking for a second Chicago-area location, and we're thrilled with the opportunity in Bolingbrook.

Joseph Roth

We're just in from Florida and here to stay, friend. Sterling's the name; I own Double Play. Think of my store as the link to your past — assuming you're a baseball fan, that is.

T. Tommy Sterling

It's not the same Polo Ralph Lauren that's in every department store.

Mike Tesler

The system could be reading tags in the background and giving the associates information on what they need to do. We need systems to help people move product to the shelf. It's the last 50 yards [where products are brought to the store shelves] that's the hardest.

Simon Langford

When you walk up to the front of our store, it's like walking into Wonderland. This will create a unique experience as well.

Jennifer Townsend

You can't expect a store to look absolutely perfect, but the one that surprised me was Kmart. Kmart isn't a flea market-type store. It needs to do a much better job in making its store more attractive to customers.

Phil Rist

It's a difficult drug to use properly. People who hoard the drug might use it improperly or store it improperly, so it won't work. Hoarding is a panic thing.

John Treanor

I know a guy who won't eat fish out of the lake, only if it's bought at a store.

Nettie Brown

It's getting the word out. People now recognize my store.

Mary Lewis

The East Hartford store is going to be open much sooner than [any other store] within hundreds of miles of there.

James Powell

You can tell a lot of time went into what they did. It looks like it came out of a famous department store.

Hope Lienau

Our record third-quarter retail earnings were fueled by industry-leading comparable-store sales and illustrate our ability to execute in this market sector.

Leonard Riggio

I stopped believing in santa clause when at age six my mother took me to a department store to see him and he asked me for my autograph.

Shirley Temple

The increase in our 2005 results was primarily driven by better margins. In 2006 we will continue to grow our business by executing our long term strategies of improving the merchandise and customer service, strengthening the infrastructure, and expanding the store base.

John Cato

Too many people think only of their own profit. But business opportunity seldom knocks on the door of self-centered people. No customer ever goes to a store merely to please the storekeeper.

Kazuo Inamori

I've always seen those flowery smelling bags in the store. I never thought I'd be so glad that I actually stopped and sniffed them.

Olivia Smith

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

I've never owned a retail business, but I put myself through graduate school by working in an office supply store. If you like what you have in your store, it sort of comes naturally.

Steven Brown

By me being there -- I can at least watch the store. So we get a good councilman elected.

James Knight

We currently carry them, and I don't know of a decision yet on my store.

Steve Todd

People have already gone into [the Harley store] and given $106,000 so far. The goal is to raise $1 million.

Marc Abend

The opening of our newest store in Joliet represents a significant milestone for Family Dollar and is the result of the hard work and dedication of all our Family Dollar associates.

Howard Levine

Some projects go smoothly and some take longer. This is just one where it's taking longer to get the details worked out. We definitely still have a plan to build a store there.

James Powell

At some point, we would like to have a Roanoke store.

Dr. Michael Smith

Our owner belongs to the Durham [Business] Association and he loves being the owner. He does a lot in the community and always makes a point to keep the store open later on Light Up Durham day.

Jon Michaud

We will send out a survey to see what kids want in the store.

Andrea Flynn

There was a lot of blood inside the building, a lot of blood leading outside the store.

Dwayne Baird

This way, we don't get people going across the street to another (loan) store.

Susan Hofer

The reasons we stopped selling the gear are very straightforward. It is highly controversial in the Raleigh-Durham area. Having that type of product out in front of our customers seemed to be a lightning rod. And secondly, we had customers who saw it out in the store and complained about it.

Jeff Hennion

We continue to believe that AutoZone is making all the right moves to invest in its store base in the near to medium term.

Gregory Melich

I told her we couldn't afford the store-bought stuff. We had to make it look old.

Luther Hill

We are definitely interested in locating in the state of Washington. We want a store up there.

James Powell

The DD460 is a disk full system packaged as an NAS target for backup software. Inside that box is our secret sauce that gives different ways to find redundant patterns and store them uniquely.

Frank Slootman

I remember seeing shelves at grocery stores empty when my mother sent me to the store.

Roland Mesnier

Anything we sell here in the store, we take a lot of time to prepare it. It's made from all fresh ingredients. You're not taking shortcuts with the food.

Todd Whaley

What if there was an eBay of applications, where companies could buy and sell software, running on our platform? ... What if there was an iTunes Music Store of online applications?

Marc Benioff

At the same time, we saw solid sales increases in the front-end of the store, especially during the Christmas and Valentine's Day seasons.

Ceo Dave Bernauer

I feel there is a lot of opportunity for a furniture store in York.

Michael Gish

(Meijer) knew, or should have known, that criminal activity in its ... store and surrounding parking lot was a frequent occurrence.

William Mills

The pharmacists should not get in the way of the patient -- doctor relationship, and the pharmacist has a duty to prescribe it, in store, without delay.

Mira Signer

I do not like the big stores. In this store, there is not so much hustle and bustle.

Betty Arnold

The difference is they don't store equipment there. It's strictly an office.

Patsy Christie

I haven't heard that anyone is doing well anywhere. Even my friend who has a store at the mall says all we get are tire kickers.

Laura Harrison

We've always done trivia. It's tradition. And we also have football bingo, a food contest and plenty of Dollar Store prizes. It's kind of like another holiday for us.

Lisa Smith

Everybody's store was closed down. They wouldn't give us gas for the buses, they pulled shotguns on us. We didn't have no food. We had to hang out the windows to get water.

Debra Smith

He loves it. He was like this kid in a candy store.

Stephan Sirard

We're going to go out and pound the ball. Whatever coach has in store.

Ben Roethlisberger

What you're seeing now is conversion of older models to new prototypes. These are the next generation of Super Stop & Shops. The renovations will give a whole new look to the store.

Robert Keane

Company same-store sales growth in the month of August was slightly above our planned range for the month.

Bob Ulrich

The type of project he's proposing is exactly what we're looking for downtown. It's something you can't find at a big box store. It was a welcome proposal and hopefully he can get back on track with it.

Bill Geiger

With 15-35 percent of the population becoming ill, we're not going to be able to be stocking our store shelves like we do now.

Deb Steffen

Wal-Mart plans to open 20 stores in China this year. We could hire up to 150,000 people there to fill the store growth in the next five years.

Amy Wyatt

We want to keep more of a residential look in a residential area. You can continue to have a home-based business; we just don't want it to look like a store.

Richard Avol

We would love to put a third or fourth store in the Raleigh market but it (the area's economy) has been soft, affected by the downturn in high-tech jobs.

Doug Sullivan

We do make a small margin on each track that's sold at the store. But because it's Coke, there isn't a requirement for the store to be generating a profit for the store to operate.

Nick Lowe

Taking these shuttles instead will save you about 20 or 30 percent on lodging. And these shuttles will usually take you anywhere you need to go, be it dinner or the grocery store.

Bruce Rosard

There are features of the store card market that effectively insulate retailers and consumer credit providers from competitive pressures.

Christopher Clarke

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

Think outside the box as to what to do with these things, ... When you run out of family members to pass things on to, don't store them--recycle them.

Scott Matthews

We don't waste commodities. We store it for future needs for future disasters.

Debbie Wing

Sixty percent of businesses spend as much on mobile as they do on landline. Twenty-five percent spend more on mobile. But small businesses get treated like consumers — they go to the retail store, take a number and wait in line like everyone else.

Brent Cobb

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

This was a solid third quarter for Federated, propelled by strong sales and earnings in our department store segment and a level of performance in our direct-to-customer catalog and e-commerce businesses that was in line with what we had anticipated, ... We are entering the fourth quarter with our inventories in good shape, and we remain optimistic that it will be a good retail Christmas season.

James Zimmerman

I know you are a woman of sorrowful spirit, yet be comforted, though you sorrows be great for you husband going out of the world, yet your pains shall be the less in bringing your child into the world; you shall be a joyful mother, though you be a sad widow; God hath many mercies in store for you; the prayer of a dying husband for you, will not be lost.

Christopher Love

You can't make a living off one store.

Sajid Bajwa

We drained Food Giant for the public safety people. The mayor commandeered the store.

Vincent Creel

It's a unique building having been a skating rink and a well-known Ream's grocery store. There's nostalgia associated with it.

George Stewart

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

It's been a dream of ours for probably at least 10 years to open a skateboarding store. When I got laid off (from my job) recently, I couldn't find a job that really interested me, and my buddies said, 'let's open the store,' so we did.

Rich Petersen

I wouldn't say that there is a definite shift in how people are furnishing their homes and that's why Pier 1 is lagging. Pier 1 has made missteps in merchandising, in its store layout and advertising. It really could take a management shakeup to fix things now for Pier 1.

Anthony Chukumba

Of particular interest was that the respondents were less influenced by customer service and or the physical store facility. Traditionally, retailers invest heavily in these areas to differentiate themselves.

John Rittenhouse

We're excited about the new store format, and are looking forward to serving the community.

Kathryn Gallagher

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
