BGR - Briscoes Valuation

[nztx]

Dunno, but unless they start running the businesses badly I see no reason to sell. Trying to time the market isn't my cup of tea(any more). Been holding this one for 20 years and have no complaints. It's been a good dividend payer all that time, and I see it as pretty safe given its lack of debt/considerable bank account and the guy at the top has the most to gain as well as lose.

yes - indeed Rod has a fair slice of the action & is a very good operator.

hard to not like BGP

"It's another competitor, albeit they operate in a slightly different space. But we see them as a competitor and we'll be watching them carefully," said Rod Duke, managing director of Briscoe Group, which operates Rebel Sport.
Duke said there was enough space in the market for JD Sports but it will pose some competition to Rebel Sport.
"If we were all to operate in the exact same space there would not be enough space in the market," he said.

I don't think this will have any impact on Rebel sports anytime soon. Out of all the sports stores I've visited, I seem to be drawn to those price busting deals that Rod puts out.

But hey, if customers are after that retail experience regardless of price, who am I to judge

Usuallly an attempt to hide the fact they have nothing worth saying.

Interesting especially "Music, high energy etc"
Just bought a handful of Briscoes and would have bought much more but didn't because of about 4 recent visits.
I admit as an ex retailer I am critical of many stores.
Briscoes and Rebel stores both well laid out, wide choice and staff able to direct where products were.
Only problem was the incessant loud music in both stores, exceptionally loud mindless crap which was loud enough to impinge on any discerning customers concentration on purchasing a product.
I have concerns on management that get basics so wrong. In the long run, turnover suffers. You want customers exposed to as much as your merchandise for as long as possible. The impulse buys are where a retailers real profit is.

provocative post given BGP's outstanding retail track record in NZ!
in your opinion, which NZ retailers are better than Briscoes or Rebel.

I wouldn't worry. Briscoes don't set out to attract the "discerning customer"!

You were right in my opinion. What is even more amazing is how the stock has been performing the last few days given level four. It's currently trading at $6.41. Why?
