The particular store in question occupies a prime location within a prime retail destination in an affluent area. It should be a showcase location for the new strategy but isn't. If they can't get this store course corrected then it signals to me and likely others that nothing has changed with B&N overall. Enough locations like that and you doom the chain even if other locations have changed.
- klelatti 4y agoSo you’re saying that someone at the centre should judge that this is a great store and then make sure that it is run in a certain way? Can you see how this completely contradicts the approach - leaving aside the fact it’s a sample size of one and that none of us have access to financials etc.
- tssva 4y agoThe retail complex in question draws a lot of traffic from outside the area and the chain stores do in fact tend to run their locations there as model examples because they know it can drive traffic at people's home locations. B&N seems to be the exception.
