Well thank you, glad I was seeing it as I hoped, it's always good to have another set of eyes on something, no matter how many times you look there is always something you miss, or disregard that you shouldn't.
I think the timeline, everything is just about perfect the bears may make a little bit of a dance on it still, but, timeline wise it is getting in that sweet spot.
JILL definitely went in the right direction with store closings and it was quite a nice number that were at the end of 2018 so that should show well in the next Q. I have seen articles on the web for a few other closings in around the country Jan-Mar not sure how many, but, a dead store closed and the bleeding being stopped in that vein is a good thing.
This time of year for JILL is spring and summer when their numbers go up, I think they are looking at +.17 this one coming and then +.21 the following. The store closings I don't know how much costs immediately halted, you as you said have been in retail and although certain bleeding stops there is still are final costs with closings but after that, out of sight out of mind LOL.
One just hopes that closing sales can cover as much of those costs as possible while shifting the newest and latest expensive merchandise to other stores if possible, keeping them from reordering etc etc. You know how it's done, trying to shift merch to cover costs and not haul/store it, but, giving your top new merch the opportunity to still get that top dollar.
Okay, enough chattering and soap boxing it, if ya decide to jump in the game here, good luck, will be glad to have you around.
peace out.
