always in style...
In today’s environment, value becomes even more important to our shoppers. Our core customers
shop us frequently — about three times a month — and have come to expect fresh merchandise
when they walk through our doors. To meet their expectations, we deliver a constant flow of new
and exciting bargains to our stores, with product received three to six times a week.
As an off-price retailer, the upside in more uncertain economies is our ability to take advantage
of an abundance of terrific name-brand fashions, like we are doing today. As a result, we have
been able to manage successfully through both healthy and more challenging climates, because
bargains are always in style.
