74 Demo Stores to Close
Pacific Sunwear plans to close 74 unprofitable Demo stores, about one-third of the total, beginning during the first half of the 2007 fiscal year. It also will convert another 20 to 25 to a new prototype design.
Sally Frame Kasaks, interim chief executive of PacSun, estimated that the 74 stores being closed had aggregate pre-tax operating losses of
$9m during fiscal 2006.
She cited mall demographics, store layouts and store economics among the reasons for their poor performance and noted: "We believe that
Demo remains a viable concept".
She continued: "Exiting the stores now will allow us to focus our
efforts on our better performing locations which we believe will
improve our future financial results."
As a result of the closures, PacSun will take a pre-tax non-cash
charge of between US$25m and $27m during the fourth quarter of 2006, which has just concluded, and cash charges of approximately $10m to
$15m attributable to lease termination, severance and other related costs during the new fiscal year.
The Anaheim, California-based youth specialty retailer also reported February 6, that its same-store sales for the five-week January
period were down 7.7%, with PacSun down 7.3% and Demo off 9.5%.
The combination of weak sales and the fourth-quarter charge led
PacSun to lower its guidance for the just-concluded period.
PacSun currently operates 849 PacSun stores, 116 PacSun Outlets, 225 Demo stores and 9 One Thousand Steps units for a total of 1,199.
The Demo stores have leaned more towards an emphasis on
urban-influenced sportswear, a hard-pressed portion of the US
sportswear market, while PacSun has focused on a more casual
California lifestyle look.
With the announcement about Demo and disclosure of January results, PacSun also reported its revenues for the fourth quarter and year.
For the 53-week year, sales were $1.45bn versus $1.39bn during the 52-week prior year, an increase of 4%. However, same-store sales
declined 4.7% during the period. Same-store sales were off 4.2% at PacSun and down 7.9% at Demo.
Revenues for the 14-week quarter were $458.2m versus $425m during the 13-week prior-year quarter. Same-store sales were down 4.3%, off 3.4%
and 9.6% at PacSun and Demo, respectively.

Trade for America Pushes
for TPA Renewal
A coalition of companies and trade associations representing almost
every sector of the US economy, including apparel importers and retailers, February 13, launched a campaign to extend
President Bush’s trade promotion authority (TPA).
The Trade for America initiative believes the renewal of TPA, which is set to expire on June 30, 2007, is critical to bringing down
foreign trade barriers and ensuring that American businesses are able to compete.
Under TPA, Congress consults with the Administration during negotiations on free trade agreements and then votes in
favor or against the agreements but cannot amend them.
Without TPA, other nations will be less likely to negotiate with the US if they have to negotiate once with the Administration and then a
second time with the Congress.
According to the coalition expanded trade agreements will enable the US to create new opportunities to sell products and services abroad,
while domestic consumers will benefit from lower prices and greater choice.

Speeding Ticket
While she was "flying" down the road yesterday (10 miles over the limit), a woman passed over a bridge only to find a cop with a radar gun on the other side lying in wait.
The cop pulled her over, walked up to the car, and with that classic patronizing smirk we all know and love, asked, "What's your hurry?"
To which she replied, "I'm late for work."
"Oh Yeah," said the cop, "what do you do?" "I'm a rectum stretcher," she responded.
The cop stammered, "A what? A rectum stretcher? And just what does a rectum stretcher do?"
"Well," she said, "I start by inserting one finger, then work my way up to two fingers, then three, then four, then with my whole hand in. I work from side to side until I can get both hands in, and then I slowly but surely stretch it, until it's about 6 feet wide."
"And just what the hell do you do with a 6 foot asshole?" he asked.
"You give him a radar gun and park him behind a bridge..."
Ticket ------------------$95.00
Court Costs ------------$45.00
