I'm looking for .05-.07 this week and here's why: Emerging from ch11 details, HIIO new store updates and whatever goodies Mr. Becker has put together.
Anyone following Dollar General, Big Lots, Family Dollar, Sears etc. can appreciate the Hacketts story. Hackett's stores has a 100yr old tradition....and our time will come. Retail is coming back. Huge Super stores like Walmarts are losing their appeal.
Consumer want to go in quickly and get out. No standing in long lines...or looking for 10min for the nearest customer service clerk that can assist you. HIIO stores will do great. One on one appeal.
