Times pass and we have no choice but to change with them or perish.
The links demonstrate a number of important things including the disappearance of one or more priorly operating chains. Additionally, I have to wonder how attractive these properties will be, Retail space has to be undergoing a massive process leading to devaluing. Thus, I'm not so confident that Ascena is deserving of as much value as some will insist.
Timelines mean everything now. Seeing stances in the links, some dating back 5 years---has me not trusting in the veracity underlying the purpose in displaying the material.
I am a stock holder in ASNA but I'm not confident that my investment will work out as hoped.
Worse, the pandemic is definitely the realllly big elephant in the room and it may take much longer to resolve retail issues than faith, hope and money may devour. There are times when all the logic in the world won't necessarily dissolve realities not so easily dismissed.
In a different world not beset by a pandemic killing thousands upon thousands around and among us, retail businesses might have a greater chance of surviving but I'm not here hoping for survival. I want to see my estate prosper.
