Our Partners
Critical Stakeholders We highly regard the partnerships we have created
with our customers, suppliers, service providers, landlords, associates and shareholders. Working
together and maintaining strong relationships with each of these critical stakeholders in our business
is important, as it allows each to prosper.
Working with Leaders In doing this, we strive to develop relationships
with companies that are leaders in their respective industries – companies that can provide superior
products and service at competitive prices. For example, the strength of our key merchandise
suppliers, who consistently provide our business with innovative and fashion-right assortments, is
critical to our ongoing success. Our business thrives on newness and the excitement it brings to
our customers.
The Right Locations Operating our stores in the right locations is another
important key to our success. This requires that we work closely with our landlords to secure the best
available sites to operate profitably, both inside and outside the mall. Our strong relationships serve
us well in this regard, as our stores are situated in the highest traffic, most productive retail sites in
the U.S. and international markets where we operate.
