1812 Brewing Company Inc (KEGS)

I visited the 3 Hacketts in Canton, Ogdensberg and Massena.

The Ogdensberg store is a beauty.

Nicely laid out but the one thing I saw in all the stores was the lack of salespeople on the floor and the ones I did find were not well trained.

That is why I harp on the fact that this company needs a powerhouse CEO who knows the retail business well.

For a store to compete against anyone, especially Wal-Mart, you need to have well educated staff. Not school smart, store smart.

That is what seems to be lacking in all 3 of the Hacketts. This will only get worse when more stores are rolled out and when all the Wise Buys stores get rolled into the Hacketts brand.

That was my take on it, anyone else been there?
