Huge Shopping Outlet

Subject: England bargain shopping
Date:

Hello Fellow PTO members,
I just wanted to send a quick note to let you know that, while on a recent vacation to England, my family and I came across a new book called Secret Shopping for the American Tourist (Copyright © 2010, Friends Publications), which included many coupons and ideas on how to travel through England. The book not only explained how to change the American $ to the English £, but it also listed a famous Web site that I wanted to share with all of you (www.notatruesite.com) where you can find many bargains and, best of all, the shipping is free.
By consulting our book, we discovered a huge shopping outlet. The outlet was filled with an ∞ of stores. My son had a great time shopping in the Nike® outlet and my daughter found many great bargains in the GAP® outlet. She found a lot of clothing not available in the states and we noticed the quality to be ≥ the clothing found at home for 50% of the price.
Although the weather was quite rainy , as it always is in England, we had a wonderful vacation . The biggest disappointment was that when we returned home, only ¾ of our luggage came home with us and the other ¼ was sent to us the next day.
P.S. If any of you are planning a trip to England and would like to purchase a copy of the book prior to your vacation, you can mail a check in the amount of $10.95 to:
The England Bookmakers
℅ Old London Square
10 Prince Charles Blvd.
Buckinghamshire, England
See you all at our next meeting.

    When you think about a great shopping experience, what stores come to mind? Some people might name high end stores such as Bloomingdales, Macys , Lord & Taylor, or even Nieman Marcus. But what about stores that carry everyday household goods? I'm talking about stores such as Walmart and Target. These stores carry just about everything for a great low price.…

    Rethinking Big-Box Stores In her essay “Big Box Stores Are Bad for Main Street,” Betsy Taylor focuses not on the economic effects of large chain stores but on the effects these stores have on the “soul” of America. She argues that stores like Home Depot, Target, and Wal-Mart are bad for America because they draw people out of downtown shopping districts and cause them to focus exclusively on consumption. In contrast, she believes that small businesses are good for America because they provide personal attention, foster community interaction, and make each city unique. But Taylor’s argument is ultimately unconvincing because it is based on nostalgia—on idealized images of a quaint Main Street—rather than on the roles that businesses play in consumers’ lives and communities. By ignoring the more complex, economically driven relationships between large chain stores and their communities, Taylor incorrectly assumes that simply getting rid of big-box stores would have a positive effect on America’s communities. Taylor’s use of colorful language reveals that she has a nostalgic view of American society and does not understand economic realities. In her first paragraph, Taylor refers to a big-box store as a “25-acre slab of concrete with a 100,000 square foot box of stuff” that “lands on a town,” evoking images of a monolithic monster crushing the American way of life (1011). But her…

    The Mall

    In Alan Brinkley’s essay The Mall he explores the history of shopping complexes in the United States and gives us insight on the different kinds of complexes. The mall started off as a shopping center. The first shopping center was the Country Club Plaza, opened in Kansas City in 1924. The shopping center soon increased in size and became small “strips.” In 1956, the first enclosed, climate controlled shopping opened in Minneapolis and was called South Dale Shopping Center many cities. The malls spread and began to have similar aspects of the downtowns that they were rapidly displacing, but they were safer. Soon after that malls started being built in many cities. The malls were still increasing in size and they were begging to add movie theaters, video arcades, bowling alleys, restaurants, and hotels. “In cities and towns in every part of America, malls became not just a place for shopping, but often centers of a much-altered community life as well” (Brinkley 115). Malls became like little cities with their own police that were private security forces. For the most part they were able to keep undesirable customers off the premises. Mall evolved into self-contained imitations of cities, minus many of the troubling abrasive features of downtowns. Malls set out to be perfect urban spaces mostly having white middle class women in mind. Many teenagers began to cling to the malls instead of other hang out spots such as street corners, parks and downtown. The mall became a universal shopping center that attracted everyone.…

    Las Vegas Store

    While overlooking the data presented from last years’ financial records of all 21 Consolidated Western Wear Retailers there were a couple of stores that stood out the most when it came to the purchasing department costs. The Las Vegas store to be exact gave much misleading information as it was only active for 8 of the 12 months due to a fire and all of it’s merchandise being destroyed. This skewed the data in lesser value than should be present, so in order to grasp a better yearly understanding the Las Vegas store was removed from the final analysis. In the analysis of all stores, including Las Vegas, there were three main cost drivers that data was gathered on, which first included Purchase Department Cost Vs Merchandise Purchased which…

    One typical shopper may enter a shopping mall with a predetermined idea of what he or she wishes to purchase. Another shopper may pass through the mall to browse the latest styles of clothing. Yet a third shopper may go to the mall simply to enjoy the atmosphere. Each shopper is on a journey of sorts to fulfill their desires, whether that means actually buying something or just looking around for potential future purchases. The mall tries to offer something of interest to every potential shopper. Guterson says that each shopper is like a pilgrim on some kind of mecca. However, what these shoppers may not realize is that by going to todays malls, they are actually missing out on opportunities to build a sense of community. After his experience…
