This was one of the few times where we actually had an issue with them and they were actually present to answer questions [for over an hour].

Look at the results of (Chico's) same-store sales. They keep posting incredible numbers year after year. Passport keeps growing and it gets people coming into stores.

They're just hitting on all cylinders.

I'm not surprised they had good results.. The stores were packed during the holidays and even on Dec. 26 when everyone else was having sales, Coach was selling full-price and the stores were full of people.

The No. 1 concern is merchandise -- they gotta fix the merchandise. They gotta get people to think the merchandise is cool again.

The teen is pretty recession proof and always likes to spend during the holiday season. The Gap unfortunately is still having trouble connecting with the customer.
