>>>>WEAK SEPTEMBER<<<<
all retailers in general were a little weak in september..
today, during our twice-a-week office conference calls, our
retail analyst offered some reasons, explanations, or excuses;
i guess it's all how you look at it.
anyway, he mentioned 2 things:
1) september was unusually warm across the country.
2) princess Di death and funeral; this situation held a lot of
attention; lots of media coverage; and the saga of the funeral.
this fixation on the story carried thru most of the month.
so, the theory goes; and it is believable by me; this held down
the shopping activity. for most retail, this is not lost sales, just delayed
sales....he looks for a rebound as the weather cools...and expects
this to be a very good xmas season....
BRING ON THE FROST!!!!!!!!

HAPPY SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....jl

ps; jimS.---thanks for the update on RING....i've only half-assed
followed it though..
