Value is the name of the game for q3 + q4
September 14, 2009
Gap, American Eagle Sales Top Analysts’ Estimates | www.bloomberg.com
People ask if we have turned the corner on a recession. They say the positive / stability of sales to plan is a indicator that we have turned the corner to recovery. I say the opposite. Gap , American Eagle, plus a slew of other mall based retailers who are achieving and beating their plans are doing so because the consumer is reacting to value. Value is king now and retailers who provide a better value equation compared to others will win market share in this level off period.

Vera Wang Set to Dress Up Kohl's | online.wsj.com
Relevant names but private label control will generate sure results for kohls in this new brand. branded product created specifically for Kohls is like branded retail w/ a private label mentality of control. This will be a huge success for Kohls and will follow other names as Chaps, and Daisy Fuentas which have been launched into kohls over the past few years
