Today was the big day of the visit. We had to be at the store early at 8:00 a.m. and make sure everything was touched up and absolutely perfect for the visit. The corporate visitors arrived around 9:15 a.m. we were introduced and then began the walk through. We started out looking at the Havana section, the visitors from corporate were very interested in the numbers and Tony went over all of the business reports and informed them on what had been selling and what hadn’t. We walked through sportswear and talked with the corporate visitors, it was very enlightening hearing them go over the in’s and out’s of the business and what should be done differently to increase the productivity of the store. After sportswear they wanted to see the New Big & Tall section. The main problem that seemed to be reoccurring was the sizing problem, in which all of the popular sizes get sold out of very quickly and there is no back stock to replace them. The visit was very insightful and exciting, and it was good to see what we had been building up too for the past week.
